If the condition number is very large, then the matrix is said to be ill conditioned. A standard approach is to use a nonsingular matrix m, and rewrite the system as m. Even for wellconditioned matrices, computing the condition number is more expensive than solving ax b. Condition number estimation of preconditioned matrices.
