In numerical analysis, a sparse matrix is a matrix in which most of the elements are zero. By contrast, if most of the elements are nonzero, then the matrix is considered dense. The number of zero-valued elements divided by the total number of elements (e.g., m Ã n for an m Ã n matrix) is called the sparsity of the matrix (which is equal to 1 minus the density of the matrix).
