/* COLAMD / SYMAMD

    colamd:  an approximate minimum degree column ordering algorithm,
    	for LU factorization of symmetric or unsymmetric matrices,
	QR factorization, least squares, interior point methods for
	linear programming problems, and other related problems.

    symamd:  an approximate minimum degree ordering algorithm for Cholesky
    	factorization of symmetric matrices.

    Purpose:

	Colamd computes a permutation Q such that the Cholesky factorization of
	(AQ)'(AQ) has less fill-in and requires fewer floating point operations
	than A'A.  This also provides a good ordering for sparse partial
	pivoting methods, P(AQ) = LU, where Q is computed prior to numerical
	factorization, and P is computed during numerical factorization via
	conventional partial pivoting with row interchanges.  Colamd is the
	column ordering method used in SuperLU, part of the ScaLAPACK library.
	It is also available as built-in function in MATLAB Version 6,
	available from MathWorks, Inc. (http://www.mathworks.com).  This
	routine can be used in place of colmmd in MATLAB.

    	Symamd computes a permutation P of a symmetric matrix A such that the
	Cholesky factorization of PAP' has less fill-in and requires fewer
	floating point operations than A.  Symamd constructs a matrix M such
	that M'M has the same nonzero pattern of A, and then orders the columns
	of M using colmmd.  The column ordering of M is then returned as the
	row and column ordering P of A. 

    Authors:

	The authors of the code itself are Stefan I. Larimore and Timothy A.
	Davis (DrTimothyAldenDavis@gmail.com).  The algorithm was
	developed in collaboration with John Gilbert, Xerox PARC, and Esmond
	Ng, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

/* ========================================================================== */
/* === Description of user-callable routines ================================ */
/* ========================================================================== */

/* COLAMD includes both int and SuiteSparse_long versions of all its routines.
    The description below is for the int version.  For SuiteSparse_long, all
    int arguments become SuiteSparse_long.  SuiteSparse_long is normally
    defined as long, except for WIN64.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    colamd_recommended:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	C syntax:

	    #include "colamd.h"
	    size_t colamd_recommended (int nnz, int n_row, int n_col) ;
	    size_t colamd_l_recommended (SuiteSparse_long nnz,
                SuiteSparse_long n_row, SuiteSparse_long n_col) ;

	Purpose:

	    Returns recommended value of Alen for use by colamd.  Returns 0
	    if any input argument is negative.  The use of this routine
	    is optional.  Not needed for symamd, which dynamically allocates
	    its own memory.

	    Note that in v2.4 and earlier, these routines returned int or long.
	    They now return a value of type size_t.

	Arguments (all input arguments):

	    int nnz ;		Number of nonzeros in the matrix A.  This must
				be the same value as p [n_col] in the call to
				colamd - otherwise you will get a wrong value
				of the recommended memory to use.

	    int n_row ;		Number of rows in the matrix A.

	    int n_col ;		Number of columns in the matrix A.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    colamd_set_defaults:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	C syntax:

	    #include "colamd.h"
	    colamd_set_defaults (double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS]) ;
	    colamd_l_set_defaults (double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS]) ;

	Purpose:

	    Sets the default parameters.  The use of this routine is optional.

	Arguments:

	    double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS] ;	Output only.

		NOTE: the meaning of the dense row/col knobs has changed in v2.4

		knobs [0] and knobs [1] control dense row and col detection:

		Colamd: rows with more than
		max (16, knobs [COLAMD_DENSE_ROW] * sqrt (n_col))
		entries are removed prior to ordering.  Columns with more than
		max (16, knobs [COLAMD_DENSE_COL] * sqrt (MIN (n_row,n_col)))
		entries are removed prior to
		ordering, and placed last in the output column ordering. 

		Symamd: uses only knobs [COLAMD_DENSE_ROW], which is knobs [0].
		Rows and columns with more than
		max (16, knobs [COLAMD_DENSE_ROW] * sqrt (n))
		entries are removed prior to ordering, and placed last in the
		output ordering.

		COLAMD_DENSE_ROW and COLAMD_DENSE_COL are defined as 0 and 1,
		respectively, in colamd.h.  Default values of these two knobs
		are both 10.  Currently, only knobs [0] and knobs [1] are
		used, but future versions may use more knobs.  If so, they will
		be properly set to their defaults by the future version of
		colamd_set_defaults, so that the code that calls colamd will
		not need to change, assuming that you either use
		colamd_set_defaults, or pass a (double *) NULL pointer as the
		knobs array to colamd or symamd.

	    knobs [2]: aggressive absorption

	        knobs [COLAMD_AGGRESSIVE] controls whether or not to do
	        aggressive absorption during the ordering.  Default is TRUE.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    colamd:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	C syntax:

	    #include "colamd.h"
	    int colamd (int n_row, int n_col, int Alen, int *A, int *p,
	    	double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS], int stats [COLAMD_STATS]) ;
	    SuiteSparse_long colamd_l (SuiteSparse_long n_row,
                SuiteSparse_long n_col, SuiteSparse_long Alen,
                SuiteSparse_long *A, SuiteSparse_long *p, double knobs
                [COLAMD_KNOBS], SuiteSparse_long stats [COLAMD_STATS]) ;

	Purpose:

	    Computes a column ordering (Q) of A such that P(AQ)=LU or
	    (AQ)'AQ=LL' have less fill-in and require fewer floating point
	    operations than factorizing the unpermuted matrix A or A'A,
	    respectively.
	    
	Returns:

	    TRUE (1) if successful, FALSE (0) otherwise.

	Arguments:

	    int n_row ;		Input argument.

		Number of rows in the matrix A.
		Restriction:  n_row >= 0.
		Colamd returns FALSE if n_row is negative.

	    int n_col ;		Input argument.

		Number of columns in the matrix A.
		Restriction:  n_col >= 0.
		Colamd returns FALSE if n_col is negative.

	    int Alen ;		Input argument.

		Restriction (see note):
		Alen >= 2*nnz + 6*(n_col+1) + 4*(n_row+1) + n_col
		Colamd returns FALSE if these conditions are not met.

		Note:  this restriction makes an modest assumption regarding
		the size of the two typedef's structures in colamd.h.
		We do, however, guarantee that

			Alen >= colamd_recommended (nnz, n_row, n_col)

		will be sufficient.  Note: the macro version does not check
		for integer overflow, and thus is not recommended.  Use
		the colamd_recommended routine instead.

	    int A [Alen] ;	Input argument, undefined on output.

		A is an integer array of size Alen.  Alen must be at least as
		large as the bare minimum value given above, but this is very
		low, and can result in excessive run time.  For best
		performance, we recommend that Alen be greater than or equal to
		colamd_recommended (nnz, n_row, n_col), which adds
		nnz/5 to the bare minimum value given above.

		On input, the row indices of the entries in column c of the
		matrix are held in A [(p [c]) ... (p [c+1]-1)].  The row indices
		in a given column c need not be in ascending order, and
		duplicate row indices may be be present.  However, colamd will
		work a little faster if both of these conditions are met
		(Colamd puts the matrix into this format, if it finds that the
		the conditions are not met).

		The matrix is 0-based.  That is, rows are in the range 0 to
		n_row-1, and columns are in the range 0 to n_col-1.  Colamd
		returns FALSE if any row index is out of range.

		The contents of A are modified during ordering, and are
		undefined on output.

	    int p [n_col+1] ;	Both input and output argument.

		p is an integer array of size n_col+1.  On input, it holds the
		"pointers" for the column form of the matrix A.  Column c of
		the matrix A is held in A [(p [c]) ... (p [c+1]-1)].  The first
		entry, p [0], must be zero, and p [c] <= p [c+1] must hold
		for all c in the range 0 to n_col-1.  The value p [n_col] is
		thus the total number of entries in the pattern of the matrix A.
		Colamd returns FALSE if these conditions are not met.

		On output, if colamd returns TRUE, the array p holds the column
		permutation (Q, for P(AQ)=LU or (AQ)'(AQ)=LL'), where p [0] is
		the first column index in the new ordering, and p [n_col-1] is
		the last.  That is, p [k] = j means that column j of A is the
		kth pivot column, in AQ, where k is in the range 0 to n_col-1
		(p [0] = j means that column j of A is the first column in AQ).

		If colamd returns FALSE, then no permutation is returned, and
		p is undefined on output.

	    double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS] ;	Input argument.

		See colamd_set_defaults for a description.

	    int stats [COLAMD_STATS] ;		Output argument.

		Statistics on the ordering, and error status.
		See colamd.h for related definitions.
		Colamd returns FALSE if stats is not present.

		stats [0]:  number of dense or empty rows ignored.

		stats [1]:  number of dense or empty columns ignored (and
				ordered last in the output permutation p)
				Note that a row can become "empty" if it
				contains only "dense" and/or "empty" columns,
				and similarly a column can become "empty" if it
				only contains "dense" and/or "empty" rows.

		stats [2]:  number of garbage collections performed.
				This can be excessively high if Alen is close
				to the minimum required value.

		stats [3]:  status code.  < 0 is an error code.
			    > 1 is a warning or notice.

			0	OK.  Each column of the input matrix contained
				row indices in increasing order, with no
				duplicates.

			1	OK, but columns of input matrix were jumbled
				(unsorted columns or duplicate entries).  Colamd
				had to do some extra work to sort the matrix
				first and remove duplicate entries, but it
				still was able to return a valid permutation
				(return value of colamd was TRUE).

					stats [4]: highest numbered column that
						is unsorted or has duplicate
						entries.
					stats [5]: last seen duplicate or
						unsorted row index.
					stats [6]: number of duplicate or
						unsorted row indices.

			-1	A is a null pointer

			-2	p is a null pointer

			-3 	n_row is negative

					stats [4]: n_row

			-4	n_col is negative

					stats [4]: n_col

			-5	number of nonzeros in matrix is negative

					stats [4]: number of nonzeros, p [n_col]

			-6	p [0] is nonzero

					stats [4]: p [0]

			-7	A is too small

					stats [4]: required size
					stats [5]: actual size (Alen)

			-8	a column has a negative number of entries

					stats [4]: column with < 0 entries
					stats [5]: number of entries in col

			-9	a row index is out of bounds

					stats [4]: column with bad row index
					stats [5]: bad row index
					stats [6]: n_row, # of rows of matrx

			-10	(unused; see symamd.c)

			-999	(unused; see symamd.c)

		Future versions may return more statistics in the stats array.

	Example:
	
	    See colamd_example.c for a complete example.

	    To order the columns of a 5-by-4 matrix with 11 nonzero entries in
	    the following nonzero pattern

	    	x 0 x 0
		x 0 x x
		0 x x 0
		0 0 x x
		x x 0 0

	    with default knobs and no output statistics, do the following:

		#include "colamd.h"
		#define ALEN 100
		int A [ALEN] = {0, 1, 4, 2, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3} ;
		int p [ ] = {0, 3, 5, 9, 11} ;
		int stats [COLAMD_STATS] ;
		colamd (5, 4, ALEN, A, p, (double *) NULL, stats) ;

	    The permutation is returned in the array p, and A is destroyed.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    symamd:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	C syntax:

	    #include "colamd.h"
	    int symamd (int n, int *A, int *p, int *perm,
	    	double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS], int stats [COLAMD_STATS],
		void (*allocate) (size_t, size_t), void (*release) (void *)) ;
	    SuiteSparse_long symamd_l (SuiteSparse_long n, SuiteSparse_long *A,
                SuiteSparse_long *p, SuiteSparse_long *perm, double knobs
                [COLAMD_KNOBS], SuiteSparse_long stats [COLAMD_STATS], void
                (*allocate) (size_t, size_t), void (*release) (void *)) ;

	Purpose:

    	    The symamd routine computes an ordering P of a symmetric sparse
	    matrix A such that the Cholesky factorization PAP' = LL' remains
	    sparse.  It is based on a column ordering of a matrix M constructed
	    so that the nonzero pattern of M'M is the same as A.  The matrix A
	    is assumed to be symmetric; only the strictly lower triangular part
	    is accessed.  You must pass your selected memory allocator (usually
	    calloc/free or mxCalloc/mxFree) to symamd, for it to allocate
	    memory for the temporary matrix M.

	Returns:

	    TRUE (1) if successful, FALSE (0) otherwise.

	Arguments:

	    int n ;		Input argument.

	    	Number of rows and columns in the symmetric matrix A.
		Restriction:  n >= 0.
		Symamd returns FALSE if n is negative.

	    int A [nnz] ;	Input argument.

	    	A is an integer array of size nnz, where nnz = p [n].
		
		The row indices of the entries in column c of the matrix are
		held in A [(p [c]) ... (p [c+1]-1)].  The row indices in a
		given column c need not be in ascending order, and duplicate
		row indices may be present.  However, symamd will run faster
		if the columns are in sorted order with no duplicate entries. 

		The matrix is 0-based.  That is, rows are in the range 0 to
		n-1, and columns are in the range 0 to n-1.  Symamd
		returns FALSE if any row index is out of range.

		The contents of A are not modified.

	    int p [n+1] ;   	Input argument.

		p is an integer array of size n+1.  On input, it holds the
		"pointers" for the column form of the matrix A.  Column c of
		the matrix A is held in A [(p [c]) ... (p [c+1]-1)].  The first
		entry, p [0], must be zero, and p [c] <= p [c+1] must hold
		for all c in the range 0 to n-1.  The value p [n] is
		thus the total number of entries in the pattern of the matrix A.
		Symamd returns FALSE if these conditions are not met.

		The contents of p are not modified.

	    int perm [n+1] ;   	Output argument.

		On output, if symamd returns TRUE, the array perm holds the
		permutation P, where perm [0] is the first index in the new
		ordering, and perm [n-1] is the last.  That is, perm [k] = j
		means that row and column j of A is the kth column in PAP',
		where k is in the range 0 to n-1 (perm [0] = j means
		that row and column j of A are the first row and column in
		PAP').  The array is used as a workspace during the ordering,
		which is why it must be of length n+1, not just n.

	    double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS] ;	Input argument.

		See colamd_set_defaults for a description.

	    int stats [COLAMD_STATS] ;		Output argument.

		Statistics on the ordering, and error status.
		See colamd.h for related definitions.
		Symamd returns FALSE if stats is not present.

		stats [0]:  number of dense or empty row and columns ignored
				(and ordered last in the output permutation 
				perm).  Note that a row/column can become
				"empty" if it contains only "dense" and/or
				"empty" columns/rows.

		stats [1]:  (same as stats [0])

		stats [2]:  number of garbage collections performed.

		stats [3]:  status code.  < 0 is an error code.
			    > 1 is a warning or notice.

			0	OK.  Each column of the input matrix contained
				row indices in increasing order, with no
				duplicates.

			1	OK, but columns of input matrix were jumbled
				(unsorted columns or duplicate entries).  Symamd
				had to do some extra work to sort the matrix
				first and remove duplicate entries, but it
				still was able to return a valid permutation
				(return value of symamd was TRUE).

					stats [4]: highest numbered column that
						is unsorted or has duplicate
						entries.
					stats [5]: last seen duplicate or
						unsorted row index.
					stats [6]: number of duplicate or
						unsorted row indices.

			-1	A is a null pointer

			-2	p is a null pointer

			-3	(unused, see colamd.c)

			-4 	n is negative

					stats [4]: n

			-5	number of nonzeros in matrix is negative

					stats [4]: # of nonzeros (p [n]).

			-6	p [0] is nonzero

					stats [4]: p [0]

			-7	(unused)

			-8	a column has a negative number of entries

					stats [4]: column with < 0 entries
					stats [5]: number of entries in col

			-9	a row index is out of bounds

					stats [4]: column with bad row index
					stats [5]: bad row index
					stats [6]: n_row, # of rows of matrx

			-10	out of memory (unable to allocate temporary
				workspace for M or count arrays using the
				"allocate" routine passed into symamd).

		Future versions may return more statistics in the stats array.

	    void * (*allocate) (size_t, size_t)

	    	A pointer to a function providing memory allocation.  The
		allocated memory must be returned initialized to zero.  For a
		C application, this argument should normally be a pointer to
		calloc.  For a MATLAB mexFunction, the routine mxCalloc is
		passed instead.

	    void (*release) (size_t, size_t)

	    	A pointer to a function that frees memory allocated by the
		memory allocation routine above.  For a C application, this
		argument should normally be a pointer to free.  For a MATLAB
		mexFunction, the routine mxFree is passed instead.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    colamd_report:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	C syntax:

	    #include "colamd.h"
	    colamd_report (int stats [COLAMD_STATS]) ;
	    colamd_l_report (SuiteSparse_long stats [COLAMD_STATS]) ;

	Purpose:

	    Prints the error status and statistics recorded in the stats
	    array on the standard error output (for a standard C routine)
	    or on the MATLAB output (for a mexFunction).

	Arguments:

	    int stats [COLAMD_STATS] ;	Input only.  Statistics from colamd.


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    symamd_report:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	C syntax:

	    #include "colamd.h"
	    symamd_report (int stats [COLAMD_STATS]) ;
	    symamd_l_report (SuiteSparse_long stats [COLAMD_STATS]) ;

	Purpose:

	    Prints the error status and statistics recorded in the stats
	    array on the standard error output (for a standard C routine)
	    or on the MATLAB output (for a mexFunction).

	Arguments:

	    int stats [COLAMD_STATS] ;	Input only.  Statistics from symamd.

/*
   Our "scaffolding code" philosophy:  In our opinion, well-written library
   code should keep its "debugging" code, and just normally have it turned off
   by the compiler so as not to interfere with performance.  This serves
   several purposes:

   (1) assertions act as comments to the reader, telling you what the code
	expects at that point.  All assertions will always be true (unless
	there really is a bug, of course).

   (2) leaving in the scaffolding code assists anyone who would like to modify
	the code, or understand the algorithm (by reading the debugging output,
	one can get a glimpse into what the code is doing).

   (3) (gasp!) for actually finding bugs.  This code has been heavily tested
	and "should" be fully functional and bug-free ... but you never know...

    The code will become outrageously slow when debugging is
    enabled.  To control the level of debugging output, set an environment
    variable D to 0 (little), 1 (some), 2, 3, or 4 (lots).  When debugging,
    you should see the following message on the standard output:

    	colamd: debug version, D = 1 (THIS WILL BE SLOW!)

    or a similar message for symamd.  If you don't, then debugging has not
    been enabled.

    The colamd_recommended routine returns the suggested size for Alen.  This

    garbage collections and the memory requirements for colamd.  If any
    argument is negative, or if integer overflow occurs, a 0 is returned as an
    error condition.  2*nnz space is required for the row and column
    indices of the matrix. COLAMD_C (n_col) + COLAMD_R (n_row) space is
    required for the Col and Row arrays, respectively, which are internal to
    colamd (roughly 6*n_col + 4*n_row).  An additional n_col space is the
    minimal amount of "elbow room", and nnz/5 more space is recommended for
    run time efficiency.

    Alen is approximately 2.2*nnz + 7*n_col + 4*n_row + 10.

    This function is not needed when using symamd.

/*
    Detects supercolumns by finding matches between columns in the hash buckets.
    Check amongst columns in the set A [row_start ... row_start + row_length-1].
    The columns under consideration are currently *not* in the degree lists,
    and have already been placed in the hash buckets.

    The hash bucket for columns whose hash function is equal to h is stored
    as follows:

	if head [h] is >= 0, then head [h] contains a degree list, so:

		head [h] is the first column in degree bucket h.
		Col [head [h]].headhash gives the first column in hash bucket h.

	otherwise, the degree list is empty, and:

		-(head [h] + 2) is the first column in hash bucket h.

    For a column c in a hash bucket, Col [c].shared3.prev is NOT a "previous
    column" pointer.  Col [c].shared3.hash is used instead as the hash number
    for that column.  The value of Col [c].shared4.hash_next is the next column
    in the same hash bucket.

    Assuming no, or "few" hash collisions, the time taken by this routine is
    linear in the sum of the sizes (lengths) of each column whose score has
    just been computed in the approximate degree computation.
    Not user-callable.
