A frontal solver, conceived by Bruce Irons, is an approach to solving sparse linear systems which is used extensively in finite element analysis. It is a variant of Gauss elimination that automatically avoids a large number of operations involving zero terms. A frontal solver builds a LU or Cholesky decompositionof a sparse matrix given as the assembly of element matrices by assembling the matrix and eliminating equations only on a subset of eleme…

The solver developed, here, opens up the way to speed up significantly adjoint state computations in seismic applications for the purpose of full waveform inversion with a large number of events [18]. A strategy for time-harmonic full waveform inversion making use of a multifrontal solver for scalar waves was developed by [14].

Aug 29, 2018 · Intel® MKL Sparse QR [1] is a multifrontal sparse QR factorization method that relies on the processing of blocks of rows.

The multifrontal method casts the factorization of a sparse matrix into a series of partial factorizations of many smaller dense matrices and Schur complement updates. It consists in a bottom-up traversal of the assembly tree following a topological order. Processing a node consists of four steps: 1.Assembling the frontal matrix F
