UMFPACK Version 5.0.2:  a set of routines solving sparse linear systems via LU
    factorization.  Requires three other packages:  the BLAS (dense matrix
    operations), AMD (sparse matrix minimum degree ordering), and UFconfig.
    Includes a C-callable and MATLAB interface, and a basic FORTRAN 77
    interface to a subset of the C-callable routines.  Requires AMD Version
    2.0 or later.

The AMD, UFconfig, and UMFPACK directories must all reside in the same parent
directory.

Quick start (Unix, or Windows with Cygwin):

    To compile, test, and install both UMFPACK and AMD, the UMFPACK and AMD
    directories must be in the same parent directory.  To configure, edit
    the UFconfig/UFconfig.mk file (otherwise, you may get warnings that the
    BLAS (dgemm, etc) are not found).  You may use UMFPACK_CONFIG = -DNBLAS in
    the UFconfig/UFconfig.mk file, to avoid using the BLAS, but UMFPACK will be
    slow.  Next, cd to this directory (UMFPACK) and type "make".  To compile
    and run a FORTRAN demo program for Harwell/Boeing matrices, type "make hb".
    To compile a FORTRAN main program that calls the 32-bit C-callable UMFPACK
    library, type "make fortran".  When done, type "make clean" to remove
    unused *.o files (keeps the compiled libraries and demo programs).  See
    the User Guide (Doc/UserGuide.pdf), or ../UFconfig/UFconfig.mk for more
    details (including options for compiling in 64-bit mode).

Quick start (for MATLAB users):

    To compile, test, and install the UMFPACK mexFunction, cd to the
    UMFPACK/MATLAB directory and type umfpack_make at the MATLAB prompt.

    NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS CODE IN 64-BIT MATLAB (v7.3).
    It is not yet ported to that version of MATLAB.

    UMFPACK (including versions 2.2.1 and earlier, in FORTRAN) is available at
    http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse.  MA38 is available in the Harwell
    Subroutine Library.  This version of UMFPACK includes a modified form of
    COLAMD Version 2.0, originally released on Jan. 31, 2000, also available at
    http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse.  COLAMD V2.0 is also incorporated
    as a built-in function in MATLAB version 6.1, by The MathWorks, Inc.
    (http://www.mathworks.com).  COLAMD V1.0 appears as a column-preordering
    in SuperLU (SuperLU is available at http://www.netlib.org).
    UMFPACK v4.0 is a built-in routine in MATLAB 6.5.
    UMFPACK v4.3 is a built-in routine in MATLAB 7.1.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Refer to ../AMD/README for the License for AMD, which is a separate
package for ordering sparse matrices that is required by UMFPACK.
UMFPACK v4.5 cannot use AMD v1.1 or earlier.  UMFPACK 5.0
requires AMD v2.0 or later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the UMFPACK README.txt file.  It is a terse overview of UMFPACK.
Refer to the User Guide (Doc/UserGuide.pdf) for how to install and use UMFPACK,
or to the Quick Start Guide, QuickStart.pdf.

Description:

    UMFPACK is a set of routines for solving unsymmetric sparse linear systems,
    Ax=b, using the Unsymmetric MultiFrontal method.  Written in ANSI/ISO C,
    with a MATLAB (Version 6.0 or later) interface.

    For best performance, UMFPACK requires an optimized BLAS library.  It can
    also be compiled without any BLAS at all.  UMFPACK requires AMD Version 2.0.

Authors:

    Timothy A. Davis (davis@cise.ufl.edu), University of Florida.

    Includes a modified version of COLAMD V2.0, by Stefan I. Larimore and
    Timothy A. Davis, University of Florida.  The COLAMD algorithm was developed
    in collaboration with John Gilbert, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, and
    Esmond Ng, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

    Includes AMD, by Timothy A. Davis, Patrick R. Amestoy, and Iain S. Duff.

    UMFPACK Version 2.2.1 (MA38 in the Harwell Subroutine Library) is
    co-authored with Iain S. Duff, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

    This work was supported by the National Science Foundation, under
    grants DMS-9504974, DMS-9803599, and CCR-0203270.

    Portions of this work were done while on sabbatical at Stanford University
    and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (with funding from the SciDAC
    program).  I would like to thank Gene Golub, Esmond Ng, and Horst Simon
    for making this sabbatical possible.

    I would also like to thank the many researchers who provided sparse
    matrices from a wide range of domains and used earlier versions of UMFPACK/
    MA38 in their applications, and thus assisted in the practical development
    of the algorithm (see http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse, future
    contributions of matrices are always welcome).

    The MathWorks, Inc., provided a pre-release of MATLAB V6 which allowed me
    to release the first umfpack mexFunction (v3.0) about 6 months earlier than
    I had originally planned.  They also supported the extension of UMFPACK to
    complex, singular, and rectangular matrices (UMFPACK v4.0).

    Penny Anderson (The MathWorks, Inc.), Anshul Gupta (IBM), and Friedrich
    Grund (WAIS) assisted in porting UMFPACK to different platforms.  Penny
    Anderson also incorporated UMFPACK v4.0 into MATLAB, for lu, backslash (\),
    and forward slash (/).

    David Bateman (Motorola) wrote the initial version of the packed complex
    input option, and umfpack_get_determinant.
