nag_mesh2d_renum (d06ccc) renumbers the vertices of a given mesh using a Gibbs method, in order the reduce the bandwidth of Finite Element matrices associated with that mesh.
nag_mesh2d_renum (d06ccc) uses a Gibbs method to renumber the vertices of a given mesh in order to reduce the bandwidth of the associated finite element matrix

(see
Gibbs et al. (1976) for details about that method). nag_mesh2d_renum (d06ccc) also returns the sparsity structure of the matrix associated with the renumbered mesh.
This function is derived from material in the MODULEF package from INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique).

In this example, a geometry with two holes (two interior circles inside an exterior one) is considered. The geometry has been meshed using the simple incremental method (
nag_mesh2d_inc (d06aac)) and it has
vertices and
triangles (see
Figure 1). The function
nag_mesh2d_bound (d06bac) is used to renumber the vertices, and one can see the benefit in terms of the sparsity of the finite element matrix based on the renumbered mesh (see
Figure 2).
