Questions tagged [sparse-matrix]
Questions related to storage, assembly, operations, and other aspects of dealing with sparse matrices, for which only non-zero elements are stored. Questions that do not with sparse matrices directly, but other means of using sparsity should be tagged with [sparse-operator].

Finding ALL Eingenvalues of a Sparse Integer Matrix
I would like to find ALL Eingenvalues of a huge, very sparse integer matrix. This matrix has a lot of known properties, e.g. that it is symmetric and nearly tridiagonal, with very few (max. ca. 4 per ...

Eliminate variables from a large system of equations
I have a large system of equations $Ax=0$. For context, the equations are invariants of some model. $A$ is sparse and typically has more columns than rows ($m < n$). The $x$ vector can be divided ...

How large is large for direct solvers?
Let us say I want to solve a large sparse linear system. It is said that iterative solvers should be better than direct solvers in this case. But how large is large? What is the exact threshold beyond ...

Fill-reducing ordering for computing the matrix product $A^T A$?
I have found many libraries for reducing filling when dong Cholesky factorisation on sparse matrices. However, I want to do fill-reduction for a different reason - given a $m\times n$ matrix $A,$ I ...

Eigenvalue problem and pseudoinverse of a product of sparse matrices
If I have some dense matrix that can be decomposed into a product of sparse matrices with known(but different) sparsity patterns. Can I somehow use this information to more efficiently compute its ...

using scipy.sparse.linalg.eigsh for degenerate states in Bose Hubbard model
I am currently writing a code for the Bose-Hubbard model, and I am calculating the ground states and single-particle density matrix for different values of U and J. As U=0, one would see how the ...

How to leverage the GPU for parallel 3-body problem computations
I have a 3-body simulation which must run millions of times.
As far as I know, the GPU shines when it gets to preform simple operations on huge matrices/arrays. Currently I'm debugging and running my ...

Solving $(I-Q)x={\bf 1}$ for sub-stochastic sparse $Q$ of dimension 5M $\times$ 5M
I have a (right) sub-stochastic CSC sparse matrix $Q$ of dimension 5 million, with 200 million nonzero entries, which is a nonzero percentage of 0.0008%, so it is indeed extremely sparse. It is not ...

How to efficient solve $e^{-tA} x =b$, where A is a very sparse matrix
I am going to solve an equation containing an exponential matrix $e^{tA} x =b$, which can be obtained naturally through $x=e^{-tA} b$. A is a 1million $\times$ 1 million matrix with stores 7.15 ...

Are there good block sparse matrix solver libraries?
There are some great libraries with linear solvers for sparse matrices - SuiteSparse is the obvious one. The methods work on sparse matrices with scalar entries.
However, often in optimization ...
