Abstract :
Abstract—An implementation of an algorithm for near-optimal ordering of sparse network equations is described. Such ordering can result in considerable savings in computer time and may be applied to various types of analysis programs. A sample problem demonstrates a saving in computer time in excess of 50 percent.
