Duff, Iain S. Data structures, algorithms and software for sparse matrices. (English) Zbl 0548.65009 Sparsity and its applications, Meet. Loughborough/Engl. 1983, 1-29 (1984). Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0544.00021.] We discuss data structures for storing and manipulating sparse matrices, stressing techniques which are appropriate when solving sets of linear equations by direct methods. We consider general techniques for the solution of sparse unsymmetric equations and examine the embodiment of these methods in mathematical software packages.
