Sparse Matrix Data Structure

A Sparse Matrix Data Structure is a matrix data structure that can represent a sparse matrix.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Column-oriented Sparse Matrix Structure to being a Row-oriented Sparse Matrix Structure.
• Example(s):
  • a scipy.sparse Matrix.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Dense Matrix Data Structure.
  • a Sparse Array Data Structure.
• See: Sparse Array Structure.
