1 Purpose

f11zac sorts the nonzero elements of a real sparse nonsymmetric matrix, represented in coordinate storage format.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  f11zac (Integer n, Integer *nnz, double a[], Integer irow[], Integer icol[], Nag_SparseNsym_Dups dup, Nag_SparseNsym_Zeros zero, Integer istr[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: f11zac, nag_sparse_real_gen_sort or nag_sparse_nsym_sort.

3 Description

f11zac takes a coordinate storage (CS) representation (see Section 2.1.1 in the F11 Chapter Introduction) of a real n×n sparse nonsymmetric matrix A, and reorders the nonzero elements by increasing row index and increasing column index within each row. Entries with duplicate row and column indices may be removed. Alternatively, duplicate entries may be summed, which facilitates spare matrix addition (see Section 9). Any entries with zero values may optionally be removed.
f11zac also returns a pointer array istr to the starting address of each row in A. This can be used to construct a compressed column storage (CCS) representation of the matrix (see Section 9).

5 Arguments

1: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the order of the matrix A.
Constraint: n1.
2: nnz Integer * Input/Output
On entry: the number of elements supplied in the array a.
Constraint: nnz0.
On exit: the number of elements with unique row and column indices.
3: a[dim] double Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array a must be at least max(1,nnz).
On entry: the nonzero elements of the matrix A. These may be in any order and there may be multiple nonzero elements with the same row and column indices.
On exit: the nonzero elements ordered by increasing row index, and by increasing column index within each row. Each nonzero element has a unique row and column index.
4: irow[dim] Integer Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array irow must be at least max(1,nnz).
On entry: the row indices corresponding to the elements supplied in the array a.
Constraint: 1irow[i]n, for i=0,1,,nnz-1.
On exit: the first nnz elements contain the row indices corresponding to the elements returned in the array a.
5: icol[dim] Integer Input/Output
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array icol must be at least max(1,nnz).
On entry: the column indices corresponding to the elements supplied in the array a.
Constraint: 1icol[i]n, for i=0,1,,nnz-1.
On exit: the first nnz elements contain the column indices corresponding to the elements returned in the array a.
6: dup Nag_SparseNsym_Dups Input
On entry: indicates how elements in a with duplicate row and column indices are to be treated.
dup=Nag_SparseNsym_RemoveDups
Duplicate entries are removed, only the first entry is kept.
dup=Nag_SparseNsym_SumDups
The relevant values in a are summed.
dup=Nag_SparseNsym_FailDups
The function fails with fail.code= NE_NON_ZERO_DUP on detecting a duplicate.
Constraint: dup=Nag_SparseNsym_RemoveDups, Nag_SparseNsym_SumDups or Nag_SparseNsym_FailDups.
7: zero Nag_SparseNsym_Zeros Input
On entry: indicates how elements in a with zero values are to be treated.
zero=Nag_SparseNsym_RemoveZeros
The entries are removed.
zero=Nag_SparseNsym_KeepZeros
The entries are kept.
zero=Nag_SparseNsym_FailZeros
The function fails with fail.code= NE_ZERO_COEFF on detecting a zero.
Constraint: zero=Nag_SparseNsym_RemoveZeros, Nag_SparseNsym_KeepZeros or Nag_SparseNsym_FailZeros.
8: istr[n+1] Integer Output
On exit: istr[i-1]-1, for i=1,2,,n, is the starting address in the arrays a, irow and icol of row i of the matrix A. istr[n]-1 is the address of the last element in a plus one.
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

f11zac is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

The time taken for a call to f11zac is the sum of two contributions, where one is proportional to nnz and the other is proportional to n.
Note that the resulting matrix may have either rows or columns with no entries. If row i has no entries then istr[i-1]=istr[i].
To transpose a matrix in CS format simply interchange irow and icol. If you need the elements to be sorted, then pass these interchanged arrays to f11zac.
Two sparse matrices can be added by concatenating the three pairs of CS format arrays, representing the two matrices, and passing these new arrays to f11zac, specifying that duplicates should be summed.
It is also possible to use this function to convert between coordinate storage (CS) and compressed column storage (CCS) formats. To achieve this the CS format array holding the row indices must be passed as icol and the array holding the column indices must be passed as irow in a call to f11zac. On exit from f11zac, the CCS representation of the matrix is given by the output arrays a, icol, and istr, where icol holds irowix and istr holds icolzp as described in Section 2.1.3 in the F11 Chapter Introduction.

10 Example

This example reads the CS representation of the real sparse matrices B and C, and finds their sum, A, displaying the ordered elements in CS format. The matrix A is then converted to CCS format and its 1-norm found. The CCS format is converted back to CS format and checked to be identical to the original ordered CS representation. The transpose of A is also found and displayed in CS format.
B=( 2.00 1.00 0 0 0 0 0 1.00 -1.00 0 4.00 0 1.00 0 1.00 0 0 0 1.00 2.00 0 -2.00 0 0 3.00 )  and  C=( 4.00 0 2.00 0 3.00 0 -1.00 0 1.00 2.00 0 0 0 2.00 0 3.00 1.00 0 0 -3.00 0 -2.00 0 4.00 0 ) .
