Abstract: We present algorithms for the symbolic and numerical factorization phases in the direct solution of sparse unsymmetric systems of linear equations. We have modified a classical symbolic factorization algorithm for unsymmetric matrices to inexpensively compute minimal elimination structures. We give an efficient algorithm to compute a near-minimal data-dependency graph that is valid irrespective of the amount of dynamic pivoting performed during numerical factorization. Finally, we describe an... (Update)
