Several sparse orthogonal factorization algorithms have been suggested [31] 46] 3O] 32] 34] 53] 18] 64] [29] [49] If multiple solutions have to be computed for the same A and multiple b, where not all b are available at the same time, and if Q is not stored, the seminormal equations method can be used.

Givens rotations should be applied simultaneously to b to form Q b. In the implementation by George and Heath [6] the Givens rotations are not stored but discarded after use. Hence, only enough storage to hold the final R and a few extra vectors for the current row and right hand side is needed in the main memory during the factorization phase. Discarding Q creates a problem since we wish to solve ....

George and Heath [12] have observed that a suitable column ordering of A can be found by symmetric fill reducing analysis of A A.

This R is the transpose of the Cholesky factor of A T A [9]. Thus we could simply take B = A T A in the Cholesky count algorithm (Section 3.1) The only diculty is that A T A may have many more nonzeros than A, so the running time might be far from linear in jAj. Therefore, instead of taking B = A T A, we choose a B that has at most jAj nonzeros ....

Both classes of 2 matrices have been studied in Puglisi (1993) To illustrate our discussion and for the sake of simplicity we focus, in this paper, on test matrices for which the symbolic factorization of A T A predicts the exact pattern of the actual R factor. George and Heath (1980) were the first exploiting the equality L T = R, but Liu (1986) first introduced the notion of a row merge tree for the sparse orthogonal factorization of a rectangular matrix. The row merging scheme can actually be viewed as the use of the multifrontal method on M = A T A without ever forming ....

George and Heath observed that, since this R is the same as the Cholesky factor of A T A, the structure of R can be predicted by forming G (A) and doing structural Cholesky factorization. Theorem 4. 7 ([14]) Let the structure H(A) be given for a rectangular matrix A with at least as many rows as columns. Whatever values A has, if A has full column rank then its orthogonal factorization A = QR satisfies G(R) G (A) The converse of this theorem is false; for example, if A is upper triangular ....

....of two specified coordinate axes; a Givens rotation can be chosen to annihilate any single entry of the vector. We consider three algorithms to compute R from A in the sparse setting: row Givens, column Givens, and column Householder . The sparse row Givens algorithm is due to George and Heath [8]. They first predict the nonzero structure of R, and set up a static data structure to hold R. Then they annihilate nonzeros from one row of A at a time, processing each row until either it becomes completely zero, or its structure fits into an empty row of the static data structure. This approach ....

Thus (the upper triangular part of) R is equal to the Cholesky factor of the normal equations matrix A T A (which is symmetric and positive definite) George and Heath [8] used this fact in their implementation of sparse orthogonal factorization by Givens rotations. They predict the structure of A T A to be the column intersection graph G (A) which has a nonzero in position (i; j) whenever columns i and j of A have a common nonzero row; then they predict the ....

These upper bounds follow in a straightforward manner from results in George, Heath, Lipton, Liu, Ng, Rose, and Tarjan [8, 9, 11, 22]. In Section 4 we show that the upper bounds given in Section 3 are the best possible, at least for a large class of matrices. The argument combines some new analysis of separators in the intersection graph of A with 3 a sequence of results of Coleman, Edenbrandt, Gilbert, Hare, Johnson, Ng, ....

It is elementary to verify that the number of nonzero elements in A, R, and H are nnz(A) mw, nnz(R) nw Gamma 1 2 w(w Gamma 1) and P nnz(H k ) mw, respectively. George and Heath [12] showed that for general sparse matrices the problem with intermediate fill in could be avoided by using Givens rotations, processing the matrix A row by row, and gradually building up the matrix R. Although they mention the possibility of storing the sequence of Givens rotations on an external ....

This will also give an efficient representation of Q in terms of Householder matrices of the factorizations of sub blocks. In the Givens method of George and Heath [12] the heuristic ordering used is to sort the rows into increasing order with respect to the maximum column subscript. They compare this good ordering with a bad row ordering (the reverse of the good ordering) They give examples where using the bad ordering the number of operations for the ....

When the matrix A is sparse, the numeric computations are preceded by a symbolic step to order the columns so that the factor suffers low fill, i.e. few of the zeroes of A become nonzero. The column ordering can be induced by applying a fill reducing heuristic [14, 16] to G (A) a column intersection graph of A which represents the structure of the matrix A T A under assumption of no numeric cancellation. A fully parallel solution requires parallelization of both symbolic and numeric steps. Computing an ordering in parallel is a very hard problem but ....

We make use of the observation that the Cholesky factor L T of the normal equation matrix A T A is identical to the R matrix of the QR factorization, except for possible sign differences in the rows. This observation was used by George and Heath (1980) to develop an algorithm for solving sparse least squares problems and it is essentially the same approach that we use here. We form the normal equations matrix, M = A T A symbolically and then order M using a minimum degree ordering, which gives us the pattern of the factors of L T and hence ....
