A survey of direct methods for sparse linear systems

TA Davis, S Rajamanickam, WM Sid-Lakhdar - Acta Numerica, 2016 - cambridge.org
Wilkinson defined a sparse matrix as one with enough zeros that it pays to take advantage of
them. 1 This informal yet practical definition captures the essence of the goal of direct …
