<a name="index-sparse-matrices_002c-allocation"></a>

<p>The functions for allocating memory for a sparse matrix follow the style of
<code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code>. They also perform their own error checking. If
there is insufficient memory available to allocate a matrix then the functions
call the GSL error handler with an error code of <code>GSL_ENOMEM</code> in addition
to returning a null pointer.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gsl_005fspmatrix_005falloc"></a>Function: <em>gsl_spmatrix *</em> <strong>gsl_spmatrix_alloc</strong> <em>(const size_t <var>n1</var>, const size_t <var>n2</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This function allocates a sparse matrix of size <var>n1</var>-by-<var>n2</var> and
initializes it to all zeros. If the size of the matrix is not known at allocation
time, both <var>n1</var> and <var>n2</var> may be set to 1, and they will automatically
grow as elements are added to the matrix. This function sets the
matrix to the triplet representation, which is the easiest for adding
and accessing matrix elements. This function tries to make a reasonable guess
for the number of non-zero elements (<var>nzmax</var>) which will be added to the matrix by
assuming a sparse density of <em>10\%</em>. The function
<code>gsl_spmatrix_alloc_nzmax</code> can be used if this number is known more
accurately. The workspace is of size <em>O(nzmax)</em>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gsl_005fspmatrix_005falloc_005fnzmax"></a>Function: <em>gsl_spmatrix *</em> <strong>gsl_spmatrix_alloc_nzmax</strong> <em>(const size_t <var>n1</var>, const size_t <var>n2</var>, const size_t <var>nzmax</var>, const size_t <var>sptype</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This function allocates a sparse matrix of size <var>n1</var>-by-<var>n2</var> and
initializes it to all zeros. If the size of the matrix is not known at allocation
time, both <var>n1</var> and <var>n2</var> may be set to 1, and they will automatically
grow as elements are added to the matrix. The parameter <var>nzmax</var> specifies
the maximum number of non-zero elements which will be added to the matrix.
It does not need to be precisely known in advance, since storage space will 
automatically grow using <code>gsl_spmatrix_realloc</code> if <var>nzmax</var> is not
large enough. Accurate knowledge of this parameter reduces the number of
reallocation calls required. The parameter <var>sptype</var> specifies the
storage format of the sparse matrix. Possible values are
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>GSL_SPMATRIX_TRIPLET</code></dt>
<dd><p>This flag specifies triplet storage.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GSL_SPMATRIX_CCS</code></dt>
<dd><p>This flag specifies compressed column storage.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GSL_SPMATRIX_CRS</code></dt>
<dd><p>This flag specifies compressed row storage.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>The allocated <code>gsl_spmatrix</code> structure is of size <em>O(nzmax)</em>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gsl_005fspmatrix_005frealloc"></a>Function: <em>int</em> <strong>gsl_spmatrix_realloc</strong> <em>(const size_t <var>nzmax</var>, gsl_spmatrix * <var>m</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This function reallocates the storage space for <var>m</var> to accomodate
<var>nzmax</var> non-zero elements. It is typically called internally by
<code>gsl_spmatrix_set</code> if the user wants to add more elements to the
sparse matrix than the previously specified <var>nzmax</var>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gsl_005fspmatrix_005ffree"></a>Function: <em>void</em> <strong>gsl_spmatrix_free</strong> <em>(gsl_spmatrix * <var>m</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This function frees the memory associated with the sparse matrix <var>m</var>.
