    We describe a novel technique for computing a sparse incomplete factorization of a general symmetric positive definite matrix A. The factorization is not based on the Cholesky algorithm 9or Gaussian elimination0, but on A-orthogonalization. Thus, the incomplete factorization always exists and can be computed without any diagonal modification. When used in conjunction with the conjugate gradient algorithin, the new preconditioner results in a reliable solver for highly ill-conditioned linear systems. Comparisons with other incomplete factorization techniques using challenging linear systems from structural analysis and solid mechanics problems are presented.
