An Approximate Minimum Deficiency Ordering using Cliques

For fast Cholesky factorization, it is most important to reduce the number of non-zero elements by ordering methods. Minimum deficiency ordering produces less non-zero elements. However, since it is very slow. the minimum degree algorithm is widely used. To improve the computation time, Rothberg's AMF uses an approximate deficiency instead of computing the deficiency. In this paper we present simple efficient methods to obtain a good approximate deficiency using information related to cliques. Experimental results show that our proposed method produces better ordering quality than that of AMF.
