Re: triangle

["sihang" <sihang@xxxxxxxxx>]

I happen to find the "Cut Hill" algorithm from Dr. Berti's thesis(http://www.math.tu-cottbus.de/~berti/diss/). I extracted three pages from this thesis, which contain the algorithm and the discussions. 

Hope this will help.

    Hello everybody, 
    I am Smaïl Mezani and I just join the femmgroup. 
    I use femm "triangle" to generate meshes whom 
    properties are contained in .node, .ele, .edge files. 

    I constatate that the numbring of the nodes is not 
    optimized (ie. bandwidth is large). 

    So, how can we minimize the badwidth by directly using 
    femm "triangle" without any need to other routines? 

    By for now. 
     

  Triangle doesn't do any special ordering on its own--it just numbers nodes in the order that it generates them.  Consequently, there is no banding at all in the finite element matrices generated from Triangle meshes if you don't do some renumbering.  Since Triangle was developed by Jonathan Shewchuk independent of femm, I didn't want to mess around a lot with what triangle is doing internally, in part due to licensing issues with modifications to triangle. I just wrote a wrapper that makes triangle run as a dialog-based application. 
  Now, femm doesn't use a direct solver, so a banded matrix isn't essential.  However, I found through trial and error that solution times are about twice as fast if the matrix is renumbered--I think this has to do with making the SSOR preconditioner a more accurate pseudoinverse.  Anyhow, I implemented the Cuthill-McKee renumbering algorithm, which is sort of the granddaddy of renumbering methods (see femmsrc\fkn\cuthill.cpp).  It generally doesn't yield the best possible banding, but it does a pretty good job, runs really fast, and is fairly easy to understand and code.  I used Hoole's "Computer-aided analysis and design of electromagnetic devices" as a reference when I wrote the renumbering code that is part of femm.
