Question about sparsity-based implementation in MATPower

2015-10-18 Thread Shruti Rao
Greetings MATPower community, I had a question about the way sparsity-based techniques are used in the Newton-Raphson solver of the power flow algorithm in MATPower. I ran the code step-by-step and from my understanding, the way the sparsity of the Jacobian matrix is exploited is that it is creat
