CXSparse: a Concise Sparse Matrix package - Extended.
Version 2.2.3, Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Timothy A. Davis.
Derived from CSparse.  Conversion originally by David Bateman, Motorola,
and then modified by Tim Davis.  ANSI C99 is required, with support for
the _Complex data type.
(if you use a C++ compiler, the C++ complex type is used instead).

CXSparse is a version of CSparse that operates on both real and complex
matrices, using either int or UF_long integers.  A UF_long is normally
just a long on most platforms, but becomes __int64 on WIN64.
It now includes a MATLAB interface, enabling the use of CXSparse functions on
both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

To install for use in MATLAB, simply type "cs_install" in the MATLAB Command
Window, while in the CXSparse/MATLAB directory.  (NOTE: Windows users cannot
use the "lcc" command; run "mex -setup" first, and select a different
compiler).  If you use the Unix "make" command in that directory instead and
are using a 64-bit platform, then you must edit the CXSparse/MATLAB/Makefile
first.  Refer to the instructions in that file.

Refer to "Direct Methods for Sparse Linear Systems," Timothy A. Davis,
SIAM, Philadelphia, 2006.  No detailed user guide is included in this
package; the user guide is the book itself.

To compile the C-library (./Source), C demo programs (./Demo) just type "make"
in this directory.  To run the exhaustive statement coverage tests, type
"make" in the Tcov directory; the Tcov tests assume you are using Linux.  To
remove all files not in the original distribution, type "make distclean".
I recommend that you use a different level of
optimization than "cc -O", which was chosen so that the Makefile is portable.
See Source/Makefile.

If your C compiler does not support the ANSI C99 complex type, the
#include <complex.h> statement will fail.  If this happens, compile the
code with the -DNCOMPLEX flag (the MATLAB cs_install will do this for you).

This package is backward compatible with CSparse.  That is, user code that
uses CSparse may switch to using CXSparse without any changes to the user code.
Each CXSparse function has a generic version with the same name as the CSparse
function, and four type-specific versions.  For example:

    cs_add      same as cs_add_di by default, but can be changed to use UF_long
                integers if user code is compiled with -DCS_LONG, and/or can
                be changed to operate on complex matrices with -DCS_COMPLEX.

    cs_di_add   double/int version of cs_add
    cs_dl_add   double/UF_long version of cs_add
    cs_ci_add   complex/int version of cs_add
    cs_cl_add   complex/UF_long version of cs_add

The sparse matrix data structures are treated in the same way:  cs, css,
csn, and csd become cs_di, cs_dis, cs_din, and cs_did for the double/int case,
cs_cl, cs_cls, cs_cln, and cs_cld for the complex/UF_long case, and so on.

See cs_demo.c for a type-generic user program, and cs_cl_demo.c for a
type-specific version of the same program (complex/UF_long).

Several macros are available in CXSparse (but not in CSparse) to allow user
code to be written in a type-generic manner:

    CS_INT      int by default, UF_long if -DCS_LONG compiler flag is used
    CS_ENTRY    double by default, double complex if -DCS_COMPLEX flag is used.
    CS_ID       "%d" or "%ld", for printf and scanf of the CS_INT type.
    CS_INT_MAX  INT_MAX or LONG_MAX, the largest possible value of CS_INT.
    CS_REAL(x)  x or creal(x)
    CS_IMAG(x)  0 or cimag(x)
    CS_CONJ(x)  x or conj(x)
    CS_ABS(x)   fabs(x) or cabs(x)

Even the name of the include file (cs.h) is the same.  To use CXSparse instead
of CSparse, simply compile with -ICXSparse/Source instead of -ICSparse/Source,
and link against libcxsparse.a instead of the CSparse libcsparse.a library.

To determine at compile time if CXSparse or CSparse is being used:

    #ifdef CXSPARSE
        CXSparse is in use.  The generic functions equivalent to CSparse may
        be used (cs_add, etc).  These generic functions can use different
        types, depending on the -DCS_LONG and -DCS_COMPLEX compile flags, with
        the default being double/int.  The type-specific functions and data
        types (cs_di_add, cs_di, CS_INT, etc.) can be used.
    #else
        CSparse is in use.  Only the generic functions "cs_add", etc., are
        available, and they are of type double/int.
    #endif

See cs.h for the prototypes of each function, and the book "Direct Methods
for Sparse Linear Systems" for full documentation of CSparse and CXSparse.

Other changes from CSparse:  cs_transpose performs the complex conjugate
transpose if values>0 (C=A'), the pattern-only transpose if values=0
(C=spones(A') in MATLAB), and the array transpose if values<0 (C=A.' in
MATLAB notation).  A set of four conversion routines are included in CXSparse,
to convert real matrices to/from complex matrices.
The Householder reflection constructed by cs_house.c also differs slightly, to
accomodate both the real and complex cases properly.

CXSparse is generated automatically from CSparse.  Refer to
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/CSparse for details.

Change Log:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Refer to CSparse for changes in CSparse, which are immediately propagated
into CXSparse (those Change Log entries are not repeated here).

Nov 1, 2007.  version 2.2.1

    CXSparse/MATLAB/Test ported to Windows


May 31, 2007.  version 2.2.0

    * back-port to MATLAB 7.2 and earlier (which does not have mwIndex).

    * more graceful failure in cs_make when attempting complex matrix support
        (Windows, in particular)

    * correction to CXSparse/Demo/Makefile

    * added sizeof(CS_INT) printout to cs_idemo.c, cs_ldemo.c

Mar 14, 2007.  Version 2.1.0.

    * MATLAB interface added for CXSparse.

    * cs_complex_t type added (a #define for "double _Complex", which is the
        complex type used in CXSparse 2.0.x).  When compiling with a C++ 
        compiler, the std::compex<double> type is used for the complex case.

    * bug fix in complex sparse Cholesky (cs_chol.c).

    * bug fix in complex sparse Cholesky update/downdate (cs_updown.c).

    * bug fix in cs_symperm for the complex case.

    * "beta" changed from complex to real, in sparse QR (cs_house.c,
        cs_happly.c, cs_qr.c), (a performance/memory improvement, not a
        bug fix).  Similar change to "nz2" in cs_cumsum.c.

May 5, 2006.  Version 2.0.1 released.

    * long changed to UF_long, dependency in ../UFconfig/UFconfig.h added.
        "UF_long" is a #define'd term in UFconfig.h.  It is normally defined
        as "long", but can be redefined as something else if desired.
        On Windows-64, it becomes __int64.

Mar 6, 2006

    "double complex" changed to "double _Complex", to avoid conflicts when
    CXSparse is compiled with a C++ compiler.  Other minor changes to cs.h.
