# The math/colamd port

## colamd-2.7.4p0 – library for column approximate minimum degree ordering

## Description

    The COLAMD column approximate minimum degree ordering algorithm computes a
    permutation vector P such that the LU factorization of A (:,P) tends to be
    sparser than that of A. The Cholesky factorization of (A (:,P))'*(A (:,P)) will
    also tend to be sparser than that of A'*A. SYMAMD is a symmetric minimum degree
    ordering method based on COLAMD, available as a MATLAB-callable function. It
    constructs a matrix M such that M'*M has the same pattern as A, and then uses
    COLAMD to compute a column ordering of M. Colamd and symamd tend to be faster
    and generate better orderings than their MATLAB counterparts, colmmd and symmmd.
