Matrix ordering and graph partitioning

Since I spend a lot of time on solving sparse linear equation systems then I am also a user of sparse matrix reordering methods. My claim to fame is that I have implemented approximate minimum degree myself and it is used in MOSEK.

Below I summarize some interesting link to graph partitioning software:

• Metis (the most famous).
• Mondriaan (do not know much about this).
• Spooles (Not that active).
• Multisection a generalization of bisection.

My Git links and tips

At my company we have started using the source control system Git instead of Perforce. Here I have collected some Git related links.

Installing TexLive 2016 on Windows Server 2016

My first attempt at intsalling TexLive 2016 on a Windows 2016 failed. However, the following worked

• Download install-tl-windows.exe from http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html
• set PATH=c:\windows\system32;%PATH%
• Run the script install-tl-windows.bat

then reason is that cmd.exe has to be on the PATH.
