Since A and B consists of 1's and 0's, and mostly 0's, large matricies can be made managable if they are sparce. I have only been able to find gaussian elimination alg.'s on sparce systems of linear equations of the form Ax = b, where x and b are vectors. Can anyone direct me to where I can find a gaussian elimination alg on sparce systems of the form AX = B? -- Mike Rynolds School of Information & Computer Science, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!myke Internet: myke@gatech.edu
