slu.analysis.getEliminationTree

Compute the elimination tree for a sparse matrix.

Syntax

slu.analysis.getEliminationTree(A, columnPermutation?)

Description

Compute the elimination tree for a sparse matrix. The elimination tree describes the structure of the LU factorization. Node i is the parent of node j if the first off-diagonal nonzero in column j of L is in row i. The tree structure determines: - Dependencies between columns during factorization - Potential for parallelism - Fill-in pattern

Parameters

NameDescription
A- Sparse matrix in CSC format
columnPermutation(optional)- Optional column permutation

Returns

EliminationTreeResult
