Sparse Matrix Operations

Most of the MATLAB standard mathematical functions work on sparse matrices just as they do on full matrices. In addition, MATLAB provides a number of functions that perform operations specific to sparse matrices. This section discusses:

• Computational considerations
• Standard mathematical operations
• Permutation and reordering
• Factorization
• Simultaneous linear equations
• Eigenvalues and singular values
