Matrix reordering to block diagonal form
<p>Give a sparse matrix, how to reorder the rows and columns such that it is in block diagonal like form via row and column permutation?</p>

<p>Row and column permutation are not necessarily coupled like reverse Cuthill-McKee ordering:

<p>The overall goal is to cluster all the non zero elements towards diagonal line.</p>
