    On algorithms for permuting large entries to the diagonal of a sparse matrix (English)
    0 references
    The authors show how bipartite matching algorithms can be used to permute the rows and columns of a matrix so that the diagonal of the permuted matrix is large. The proposed algorithm computes a matching that corresponds to a permutation of a sparse matrix such that the product (or sum) of the diagonal entries is maximized. The authors consider a modified version of this algorithm to compute a permutation that maximizes the smallest diagonal entry. They also investigate the influence of scaling the matrix. Results of some computational experiments are also given.
