Figure 7 Fic. 5.1. An illustration of the preconditioners of Gremban and Miller. A is partitioned hierarchically, and the vertices of B represent subgraphs in that partition. The circled vertex of B represents the subgraph of A consisting of the two circled vertices. The weight of an edge of B is the sum of the weights of the edges of A that connect the subgraph to the rest of A.
