Contents
The skyline storage stores all matrix elements within
the variable band/profile of that matrix.
This is necessary if direct solvers like Gaußalgorithm
or LU-factorization are used to invert the matrix.
The concrete choice whether to prefer band or profile storage
depends on the algorithm used !
The proper band/profile will be preserved during the inversion.
Further storage schemes for sparse matrices can be find in
