A nested decomposition algorithm for parallel computations of very large sparse systems

<p>In this paper we present a generalization of the balanced border block diagonal (BBD) decomposition algorithm, which was developed for the parallel computation of sparse systems of linear equations. The efficiency of the new procedure is substantially higher, and it extends the applicabilit...
