# Sparse Arrays

Julia has support for sparse vectors and sparse matrices in the `SparseArrays` stdlib module. Sparse arrays are arrays that contain enough zeros that storing them in a special data structure leads to savings in space and execution time, compared to dense arrays.

## Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) Sparse Matrix Storage

In Julia, sparse matrices are stored in the Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) format. Julia sparse matrices have the type `SparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti}`, where `Tv` is the type of the stored values, and `Ti` is the integer type for storing column pointers and row indices. The internal representation of `SparseMatrixCSC` is as follows:

    struct SparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti<:Integer} <: AbstractSparseMatrix{Tv,Ti}
        m::Int                  # Number of rows
        n::Int                  # Number of columns
        colptr::Vector{Ti}      # Column j is in colptr[j]:(colptr[j+1]-1)
        rowval::Vector{Ti}      # Row indices of stored values
        nzval::Vector{Tv}       # Stored values, typically nonzeros
    end

The compressed sparse column storage makes it easy and quick to access the elements in the column of a sparse matrix, whereas accessing the sparse matrix by rows is considerably slower. Operations such as insertion of previously unstored entries one at a time in the CSC structure tend to be slow. This is because all elements of the sparse matrix that are beyond the point of insertion have to be moved one place over.

All operations on sparse matrices are carefully implemented to exploit the CSC data structure for performance, and to avoid expensive operations.

If you have data in CSC format from a different application or library, and wish to import it in Julia, make sure that you use 1-based indexing. The row indices in every column need to be sorted. If your `SparseMatrixCSC` object contains unsorted row indices, one quick way to sort them is by doing a double transpose.

In some applications, it is convenient to store explicit zero values in a `SparseMatrixCSC`. These are accepted by functions in `Base` (but there is no guarantee that they will be preserved in mutating operations). Such explicitly stored zeros are treated as structural nonzeros by many routines. The `nnz` function returns the number of elements explicitly stored in the sparse data structure, including structural nonzeros. In order to count the exact number of numerical nonzeros, use `count(!iszero, x)`, which inspects every stored element of a sparse matrix. `dropzeros`, and the in-place `dropzeros!`, can be used to remove stored zeros from the sparse matrix.

    julia> A = sparse([1, 1, 2, 3], [1, 3, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 0])
    3×3 SparseMatrixCSC{Int64,Int64} with 4 stored entries:
      [1, 1]  =  0
      [2, 2]  =  2
      [1, 3]  =  1
      [3, 3]  =  0

    julia> dropzeros(A)
    3×3 SparseMatrixCSC{Int64,Int64} with 2 stored entries:
      [2, 2]  =  2
      [1, 3]  =  1

## Sparse Vector Storage

Sparse vectors are stored in a close analog to compressed sparse column format for sparse matrices. In Julia, sparse vectors have the type `SparseVector{Tv,Ti}` where `Tv` is the type of the stored values and `Ti` the integer type for the indices. The internal representation is as follows:

    struct SparseVector{Tv,Ti<:Integer} <: AbstractSparseVector{Tv,Ti}
        n::Int              # Length of the sparse vector
        nzind::Vector{Ti}   # Indices of stored values
        nzval::Vector{Tv}   # Stored values, typically nonzeros
    end

As for `SparseMatrixCSC`, the `SparseVector` type can also contain explicitly stored zeros. (See Sparse Matrix Storage.).

## Sparse Vector and Matrix Constructors

The simplest way to create a sparse array is to use a function equivalent to the `zeros` function that Julia provides for working with dense arrays. To produce a sparse array instead, you can use the same name with an `sp` prefix:

    julia> spzeros(3)
    3-element SparseVector{Float64,Int64} with 0 stored entries

The `sparse` function is often a handy way to construct sparse arrays. For example, to construct a sparse matrix we can input a vector `I` of row indices, a vector `J` of column indices, and a vector `V` of stored values (this is also known as the COO (coordinate) format). `sparse(I,J,V)` then constructs a sparse matrix such that `S[I[k], J[k]] = V[k]`. The equivalent sparse vector constructor is `sparsevec`, which takes the (row) index vector `I` and the vector `V` with the stored values and constructs a sparse vector `R` such that `R[I[k]] = V[k]`.

    julia> I = [1, 4, 3, 5]; J = [4, 7, 18, 9]; V = [1, 2, -5, 3];

    julia> S = sparse(I,J,V)
    5×18 SparseMatrixCSC{Int64,Int64} with 4 stored entries:
      [1,  4]  =  1
      [4,  7]  =  2
      [5,  9]  =  3
      [3, 18]  =  -5

    julia> R = sparsevec(I,V)
    5-element SparseVector{Int64,Int64} with 4 stored entries:
      [1]  =  1
      [3]  =  -5
      [4]  =  2
      [5]  =  3

The inverse of the `sparse` and `sparsevec` functions is `findnz`, which retrieves the inputs used to create the sparse array. `findall(!iszero, x)` returns the cartesian indices of non-zero entries in `x` (including stored entries equal to zero).

    julia> findnz(S)
    ([1, 4, 5, 3], [4, 7, 9, 18], [1, 2, 3, -5])

    julia> findall(!iszero, S)
    4-element Array{CartesianIndex{2},1}:
     CartesianIndex(1, 4)
     CartesianIndex(4, 7)
     CartesianIndex(5, 9)
     CartesianIndex(3, 18)

    julia> findnz(R)
    ([1, 3, 4, 5], [1, -5, 2, 3])

    julia> findall(!iszero, R)
    4-element Array{Int64,1}:
     1
     3
     4
     5

Another way to create a sparse array is to convert a dense array into a sparse array using the `sparse` function:

    julia> sparse(Matrix(1.0I, 5, 5))
    5×5 SparseMatrixCSC{Float64,Int64} with 5 stored entries:
      [1, 1]  =  1.0
      [2, 2]  =  1.0
      [3, 3]  =  1.0
      [4, 4]  =  1.0
      [5, 5]  =  1.0

    julia> sparse([1.0, 0.0, 1.0])
    3-element SparseVector{Float64,Int64} with 2 stored entries:
      [1]  =  1.0
      [3]  =  1.0

You can go in the other direction using the `Array` constructor. The `issparse` function can be used to query if a matrix is sparse.

    julia> issparse(spzeros(5))
    true

## Sparse matrix operations

Arithmetic operations on sparse matrices also work as they do on dense matrices. Indexing of, assignment into, and concatenation of sparse matrices work in the same way as dense matrices. Indexing operations, especially assignment, are expensive, when carried out one element at a time. In many cases it may be better to convert the sparse matrix into `(I,J,V)` format using `findnz`, manipulate the values or the structure in the dense vectors `(I,J,V)`, and then reconstruct the sparse matrix.

## Correspondence of dense and sparse methods

The following table gives a correspondence between built-in methods on sparse matrices and their corresponding methods on dense matrix types. In general, methods that generate sparse matrices differ from their dense counterparts in that the resulting matrix follows the same sparsity pattern as a given sparse matrix `S`, or that the resulting sparse matrix has density `d`, i.e. each matrix element has a probability `d` of being non-zero.

Details can be found in the Sparse Vectors and Matrices section of the standard library reference.

Sparse | Dense | Description
--- | --- | ---
`spzeros(m,n)` | `zeros(m,n)` | Creates a m-by-n matrix of zeros. (`spzeros(m,n)` is empty.)
`sparse(I, n, n)` | `Matrix(I,n,n)` | Creates a n-by-n identity matrix.
`Array(S)` | `sparse(A)` | Interconverts between dense and sparse formats.
`sprand(m,n,d)` | `rand(m,n)` | Creates a m-by-n random matrix (of density d) with iid non-zero elements distributed uniformly on the half-open interval $[0, 1)$.
`sprandn(m,n,d)` | `randn(m,n)` | Creates a m-by-n random matrix (of density d) with iid non-zero elements distributed according to the standard normal (Gaussian) distribution.
`sprandn(rng,m,n,d)` | `randn(rng,m,n)` | Creates a m-by-n random matrix (of density d) with iid non-zero elements generated with the `rng` random number generator

    sparse(I, J, V,[ m, n, combine])

Create a sparse matrix `S` of dimensions `m x n` such that `S[I[k], J[k]] = V[k]`. The `combine` function is used to combine duplicates. If `m` and `n` are not specified, they are set to `maximum(I)` and `maximum(J)` respectively. If the `combine` function is not supplied, `combine` defaults to `+` unless the elements of `V` are Booleans in which case `combine` defaults to `|`. All elements of `I` must satisfy `1 <= I[k] <= m`, and all elements of `J` must satisfy `1 <= J[k] <= n`. Numerical zeros in (`I`, `J`, `V`) are retained as structural nonzeros; to drop numerical zeros, use `dropzeros!`.

    spdiagm(m::Integer, n::Ingeger, kv::Pair{<:Integer,<:AbstractVector}...)

Construct a sparse diagonal matrix from `Pair`s of vectors and diagonals. Each vector `kv.second` will be placed on the `kv.first` diagonal. By default (if `size=nothing`), the matrix is square and its size is inferred from `kv`, but a non-square size `m`×`n` (padded with zeros as needed) can be specified by passing `m,n` as the first arguments.

Examples

`SparseArrays.sprand` — Function

    sprand([rng],[type],m,[n],p::AbstractFloat,[rfn])

Create a random length `m` sparse vector or `m` by `n` sparse matrix, in which the probability of any element being nonzero is independently given by `p` (and hence the mean density of nonzeros is also exactly `p`). Nonzero values are sampled from the distribution specified by `rfn` and have the type `type`. The uniform distribution is used in case `rfn` is not specified. The optional `rng` argument specifies a random number generator, see Random Numbers.

    2×2 SparseMatrixCSC{Bool,Int64} with 1 stored entry:
      [2, 2]  =  1

    vals = nonzeros(A)
    m, n = size(A)
    for j = 1:n

`Base.permute!` — Method

    permute!(X::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti}, A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti},
             p::AbstractVector{<:Integer}, q::AbstractVector{<:Integer},
             [C::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti}]) where {Tv,Ti}

Bilaterally permute `A`, storing result `PAQ` (`A[p,q]`) in `X`. Stores intermediate result `(AQ)^T` (`transpose(A[:,q])`) in optional argument `C` if present. Requires that none of `X`, `A`, and, if present, `C` alias each other; to store result `PAQ` back into `A`, use the following method lacking `X`:

    permute!(A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti}, p::AbstractVector{<:Integer},
             q::AbstractVector{<:Integer}[, C::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti},
             [workcolptr::Vector{Ti}]]) where {Tv,Ti}

`X`'s dimensions must match those of `A` (`size(X, 1) == size(A, 1)` and `size(X, 2) == size(A, 2)`), and `X` must have enough storage to accommodate all allocated entries in `A` (`length(rowvals(X)) >= nnz(A)` and `length(nonzeros(X)) >= nnz(A)`). Column-permutation `q`'s length must match `A`'s column count (`length(q) == size(A, 2)`). Row-permutation `p`'s length must match `A`'s row count (`length(p) == size(A, 1)`).

`C`'s dimensions must match those of `transpose(A)` (`size(C, 1) == size(A, 2)` and `size(C, 2) == size(A, 1)`), and `C` must have enough storage to accommodate all allocated entries in `A` (`length(rowvals(C)) >= nnz(A)` and `length(nonzeros(C)) >= nnz(A)`).

For additional (algorithmic) information, and for versions of these methods that forgo argument checking, see (unexported) parent methods `unchecked_noalias_permute!` and `unchecked_aliasing_permute!`.
