Null space problem, computer graphics domain. Matrices from Sivan Toledo. Matrix from Sivan Toledo. deltaX: Strict partial pivoting is required for this rectangular matrix (for computing the null space of a matrix using a variant of inverse iteration). Contributed by Sivan Toledo. Originally from Craig Gotsman. Comes from some kind of graphics problem. The matrix is 68,600 -by- 21,961. The first 767 rows are very dense. If S = A (1:767,:), then S'*S and A'*A have the same nonzero pattern. If the matrix C=E*A, where e = sum(abs(A),2) ; e = 1./e ; E = spdiags(e,0,n,n) ; is factorized, then [L,U,P,Q]=lu(C) still fails, but it gets a lot farther. UMFPACK computes L and U but runs out of memory when converting L and U into MATLAB sparse matrices. UMFPACK fails internally when factorizing the unscaled matrix.
