Summary.

Meijerink and van der Vorst [8] have shown that the incomplete LU-factorizations are numerically stable for M-matrices. Varga, Saff and Mehrmann [16] gave some characterizations of the H-matrices by using the incomplete LU-factorizations of them. The purpose of this paper is to show that the incomplete LU-factorizations of an H-matrix are at least as stable as the complete LU-factorizations of its comparison matrix. We give also some new characterizations of the H-matrices in connection with their incomplete LU-factorizations.
