+ The COLAMD column approximate minimum degree ordering algorithm
+ computes a permutation vector P such that the LU factorization of A
+ (:,P) tends to be sparser than that of A. The Cholesky factorization
+ of (A (:,P))\'*(A (:,P)) will also tend to be sparser than that of
+ A\'*A. SYMAMD is a symmetric minimum degree ordering method based on
+ COLAMD, available as a MATLAB-callable function. It constructs a
+ matrix M such that M\'*M has the same pattern as A, and then uses
+ COLAMD to compute a column ordering of M. Colamd and symamd tend to be
+ faster and generate better orderings than their MATLAB counterparts,
+ colmmd and symmmd.
