Abstract: A well known approach to compute the LU factorization of a general unsymmetric matrix A is to build the elimination tree associated with the pattern of the symmetric matrix A+A T and use it as a computational graph to drive the numerical factorization. This approach, although very efficient on a large range of unsymmetric matrices, does not capture the unsymmetric structure of the matrices. We introduce a new algorithm which detects and exploits the structural asymmetry of the submatrices... (Update)

.... description of the algorithms, the reader should consult previous papers by the authors of these algorithms (Amestoy et al. 1999, Amestoy et al. 2000, Li and Demmel 1998, Li and Demmel 1999) Both algorithms can be described by a computational tree whose nodes represent...

...Level 3 BLAS to perform the elimination operations. However, in MUMPS the frontal matrices are always square. It is shown in Amestoy and Puglisi (2000) how one can detect and exploit sparsity within the frontal matrices but the present implementation takes no advantage of...
