/*
    colamd:  An approximate minimum degree column ordering algorithm.

    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 user-contributed software for Matlab 5.2,
	available from MathWorks, Inc. (http://www.mathworks.com).  This
	routine can be used in place of COLMMD in Matlab.  By default, the \
	and / operators in Matlab perform a column ordering (using COLMMD)
	prior to LU factorization using sparse partial pivoting, in the
	built-in Matlab LU(A) routine.

    Authors:

	The authors of the code itself are Stefan I. Larimore and Timothy A.
	Davis (davis@cise.ufl.edu), University of Florida.  The algorithm was
	developed in collaboration with John Gilbert, Xerox PARC, and Esmond
	Ng, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

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

/*
    Each user-callable routine (declared as PUBLIC) is briefly described below.
    Refer to the comments preceding each routine for more details.

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

	Usage:

	    Alen = colamd_recommended (nnz, n_row, n_col) ;

	Purpose:

	    Returns recommended value of Alen for use by colamd.  Returns -1
	    if any input argument is negative.

	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:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Usage:

	    colamd_set_defaults (knobs) ;

	Purpose:

	    Sets the default parameters.

	Arguments:

	    double knobs [COLAMD_KNOBS] ;	Output only.

		Rows with more than (knobs [COLAMD_DENSE_ROW] * n_col) entries
		are removed prior to ordering.  Columns with more than
		(knobs [COLAMD_DENSE_COL] * n_row) entries are removed
		prior to ordering, and placed last in the output column
		ordering.  Default values of these two knobs are both 0.5.
		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.

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

	Usage:

	    colamd (n_row, n_col, Alen, A, p, knobs) ;

	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.

	Arguments:

	    int n_row ;

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

	    int n_col ;

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

	    int Alen ;

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

		Note:  this restriction makes an modest assumption regarding
		the size of the two typedef'd structures, below.  We do,
		however, guarantee that
		Alen >= colamd_recommended (nnz, n_row, n_col)
		will be sufficient.

	    int A [Alen] ;	Input argument, stats 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 thus
		undefined on output with the exception of a few statistics
		about the ordering (A [0..COLAMD_STATS-1]):
		A [0]:  number of dense or empty rows ignored.
		A [1]:  number of dense or empty columns ignored (and ordered
			last in the output permutation p)
		A [2]:  number of garbage collections performed.
		A [3]:  0, if all row indices in each column were in sorted
			  order, and no duplicates were present.
			1, otherwise (in which case colamd had to do more work)
		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.
		Future versions may return more statistics in A, but the usage
		of these 4 entries in A will remain unchanged.

	    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 only.

		See colamd_set_defaults for a description.  If the knobs array
		is not present (that is, if a (double *) NULL pointer is passed
		in its place), then the default values of the parameters are
		used instead.

/*
   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...

    To enable debugging, comment out the "#define NDEBUG" above.  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).

/*
    The colamd routine computes a column ordering Q of a sparse matrix
    A such that the LU factorization P(AQ) = LU remains sparse, where P is
    selected via partial pivoting.   The routine can also be viewed as
    providing a permutation Q such that the Cholesky factorization
    (AQ)'(AQ) = LL' remains sparse.

    On input, the nonzero patterns of the columns of A are stored in the
    array A, in order 0 to n_col-1.  A is held in 0-based form (rows in the
    range 0 to n_row-1 and columns in the range 0 to n_col-1).  Row indices
    for column c are located in A [(p [c]) ... (p [c+1]-1)], where p [0] = 0,
    and thus p [n_col] is the number of entries in A.  The matrix is
    destroyed on output.  The row indices within each column do not have to
    be sorted (from small to large row indices), and duplicate row indices
    may be present.  However, colamd will work a little faster if columns are
    sorted and no duplicates are present.  Matlab 5.2 always passes the matrix
    with sorted columns, and no duplicates.

    The integer array A is of size Alen.  Alen must be at least of size
    (where nnz is the number of entries in A):

	nnz			for the input column form of A
	+ nnz			for a row form of A that colamd generates
	+ 6*(n_col+1)		for a ColInfo Col [0..n_col] array
				(this assumes sizeof (ColInfo) is 6 int's).
	+ 4*(n_row+1)		for a RowInfo Row [0..n_row] array
				(this assumes sizeof (RowInfo) is 4 int's).
	+ elbow_room		must be at least n_col.  We recommend at least
				nnz/5 in addition to that.  If sufficient,
				changes in the elbow room affect the ordering
				time only, not the ordering itself.
	+ COLAMD_STATS		for the output statistics

    Colamd returns FALSE is memory is insufficient, or TRUE otherwise.

    On input, the caller must specify:

	n_row			the number of rows of A
	n_col			the number of columns of A
	Alen			the size of the array A
	A [0 ... nnz-1]		the row indices, where nnz = p [n_col]
	A [nnz ... Alen-1]	(need not be initialized by the user)
	p [0 ... n_col]		the column pointers,  p [0] = 0, and p [n_col]
				is the number of entries in A.  Column c of A
				is stored in A [p [c] ... p [c+1]-1].
	knobs [0 ... 19]	a set of parameters that control the behavior
				of colamd.  If knobs is a NULL pointer the
				defaults are used.  The user-callable
				colamd_set_defaults routine sets the default
				parameters.  See that routine for a description
				of the user-controllable parameters.

    If the return value of Colamd is TRUE, then on output:

	p [0 ... n_col-1]	the column permutation. p [0] is the first
				column index, and p [n_col-1] is the last.
				That is, p [k] = j means that column j of A
				is the kth column of AQ.

	A			is undefined on output (the matrix pattern is
				destroyed), except for the following statistics:

	A [0]			the number of dense (or empty) rows ignored
	A [1]			the number of dense (or empty) columms.  These
				are ordered last, in their natural order.
	A [2]			the number of garbage collections performed.
				If this is excessive, then you would have
				gotten your results faster if Alen was larger.
	A [3]			0, if all row indices in each column were in
				sorted order and no duplicates were present.
				1, if there were unsorted or duplicate row
				indices in the input.  You would have gotten
				your results faster if A [3] was returned as 0.

    If the return value of Colamd is FALSE, then A and p are undefined on
    output.

    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.
