Abstract: . Greedy algorithms for ordering sparse matrices for Cholesky factorization can be based on different metrics. Minimum degree, a popular and effective greedy ordering scheme, minimizes the number of nonzero entries in the rank-1 update (degree) at each step of the factorization. Alternatively, minimum deficiency minimizes the number of nonzero entries introduced (deficiency) at each step of the factorization. In this paper we develop two new heuristics: "modified minimum deficiency" (MMDF) and... (Update)
