Abstract: . The elimination tree is central to the study of Cholesky factorization of sparse symmetric positive definite matrices. In this paper, we generalize the elimination tree to a structure appropriate for the sparse LU factorization of unsymmetric matrices. We define a pair of directed acyclic graphs called elimination dags, and use them to characterize the zero-nonzero structures of the lower and upper triangular factors. We apply these elimination structures in a new algorithm to compute fill... (Update)

.... the minimum graph representations of the L and U factors are directed acyclic graphs (called elimination DAGs, or edags for short) [31, 32]. Despite these diculties, researchers have been addressing these issues successfully for sequential and shared memory machines;...

.... way to represent the symbolic LU factorization of a structurally unsymmetric matrix is to use directed acyclic graphs (see for example [17, 18]) These This work was supported by the Director, Oce of Science, Division of Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences...
