Abstract
In this paper, ten different graphs are associated with finite
element models for transforming the connectivity properties
of such models into those of their graphs. The properties and
special features of these graphs are presented, and employed
in element ordering of the finite element models.
Algorithms are presented for wavefront reduction using the proposed graph models, and their efficiencies are compared through examples of different connectivity. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
