Abstract
The exploitation of sparsity forms an important ingredient for the efficient solution of large-scale problems. For this purpose, this paper discusses two algorithms to detect the sparsity pattern of Hessians: An approach for the computation of exact sparsity patterns and a second one for the overestimation of sparsity patterns. For both algorithms, corresponding complexity results are stated. Subsequently, new data structures and set operations are presented yielding a new complexity result together with an alternative implementation of the exact approach. For several test problems, the obtained runtimes confirm the new theoretical result, i.e., a significant reduction in the runtime needed by the exact approach. A comparison with the runtime required for the overestimation of the sparsity pattern is included together with a corresponding discussion. Finally, possible directions for future research are stated.
