-The COLAMD ordering method - Version 2.3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-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.
-
-To compile and test the colamd m-files and mexFunctions, just unpack the
-colamd2.3/ directory from the colamd2.3.tar.gz file, and run MATLAB from
-within that directory.  Next, type colamd_test to compile and test colamd
-and symamd.  This will work on any computer with MATLAB (Unix, PC, or Mac).
-Alternatively, type "make" (in Unix) to compile and run a simple example C
-code, without using MATLAB.
-
-Colamd 2.0 is a built-in routine in MATLAB V6.0, available from The 
-Mathworks, Inc.  Under most cases, the compiled codes from Versions 2.0
-through 2.2 do not differ.  Colamd Versions 2.2 and 2.3 differ only in their
-mexFunction interaces to MATLAB.
-
-To use colamd and symamd within an application written in C, all you need are
-colamd.c and colamd.h, which are the C-callable colamd/symamd codes.
-See colamd.c for more information on how to call colamd from a C program.
