Suitesparse is a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse matrices.

The BTF library is a software package for permuting a matrix into Block upper Triangular Form. It includes a maximum transversal algorithm, which finds a permutation of a square or rectangular matrix so that it has a zero-free diagonal (if one exists); otherwise, it finds a maximal matching which maximizes the number of nonzeros on the diagonal.
