A sparse array (or sparse matrix) is an array where only a few elements are actually allocated storage space in memory, the unallocated elements are forced to zero for calculation purposes. Such arrays usually use pointers to reference the storage for the allocated elements.
A sparse matrix is an array with more zero values than non-zero values.
sparse array is one which has contents lower than its maximum size, that is the array has free or empty locations....
write a programe to build a sparse matrix as an array. write function to check if the sparse matrix is a square, diagonal,lower triangular, upper triangular or tridiagonal matrix
A sparse matrix contains many (often mostly) zero entries. The basic idea when storing sparse matrices is to only store the non-zero entries as opposed to storing all entries. Depending on the number and distribution of the non-zero entries, different data structures can be used and yield huge savings in memory when compared to a naïve approach. One example of such a sparse matrix format is the (old) Yale Sparse Matrix Format [1]. It stores an initial sparse N×N matrix M in row form using three arrays, A, IA, JA. NZ denotes the number of nonzero entries in matrix M. The array Athen is of length NZ and holds all nonzero entries of M. The array IA stores at IA(i) the position of the first element of row i in the sparse array A. The length of row i is determined by IA(i+1) - IA(i). Therefore IA needs to be of length N + 1. In array JA, the column index of the element A(j) is stored. JA is of length NZ. Another possibility is to use quadtrees

The antonym for sparse is dense.

Sparse matirx can be represented 1-dimensionally, by creating a array of structures, that have members sumc as: Struct RM{int ROW,int COL, int non_zero}; struct RM SM[Number_non_Zeros +1]; then input row,col for each non-zero element of the sparse matrix. if still unclear please fell free to requestion or query on ikit.bbsr@gmail.com, specifying clearly the question in the subject.
