The subject of sparse matrices has its root in such diverse fields
as management science, power systems analysis, surveying, circuit
theory, and structural analysis. Efficient use of sparsity is a key
to solving large problems in many fields. This second edition is a
complete rewrite of the first edition published 30 years ago. Much
has changed since that time. Problems have grown greatly in size
and complexity; nearly all examples in the first edition were of
order less than 5,000 in the first edition, and are often more than
a million in the second edition. Computer architectures are now
much more complex, requiring new ways of adapting algorithms to
parallel environments with memory hierarchies. Because the area is
such an important one to all of computational science and
engineering, a huge amount of research has been done in the last 30
years, some of it by the authors themselves. This new research is
integrated into the text with a clear explanation of the underlying
mathematics and algorithms. New research that is described includes
new techniques for scaling and error control, new orderings, new
combinatorial techniques for partitioning both symmetric and
unsymmetric problems, and a detailed description of the
multifrontal approach to solving systems that was pioneered by the
research of the authors and colleagues. This includes a discussion
of techniques for exploiting parallel architectures and new work
for indefinite and unsymmetric systems.
