This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Appllcations GRAPH THEORY AND SPARSE MATRIX COMPUTATION is based on the proceedings of a workshop that was an integraI part of the 1991- 92 IMA program on "Applied Linear AIgebra." The purpose of the workshop was to bring together people who work in sparse matrix computation with those who conduct research in applied graph theory and grl: l, ph algorithms, in order to foster active cross-fertilization. We are grateful to Richard Brualdi, George Cybenko, Alan Geo ge, Gene Golub, Mitchell Luskin, and Paul Van Dooren for planning and implementing the...
