Abstract In this paper we present parallel explicit approximate inverse matrix techniques for solving sparse linear systems on shared memory systems, which are derived using the finite element method for biharmonic equations in three space variables. Our approach for solving such equations is by considering the biharmonic equation as a coupled equation approach (pair of Poisson equation), using a FE approximation scheme, yielding an inner-outer iteration method. Additionally, parallel approximate inverse matrix algorithms are introduced for the efficient solution of sparse linear systems, based on an anti-diagonal computational approach that eliminates the data dependencies.
