Principal matrix storage: most of since energy interband non-local quantum tunneling generally only occurs in very little device area System of linear equations coefficient matrix is the discrete caused principal matrix of usual carrier continuous renalreplacementtherapy, diagonal with three Form, taking row bandwidth is the column storage form of 2*kl+ku+1, facilitates the Gaussian elimination method using column selection pivot.
The storage of additional coefficient matrix:
A composite variable composed by integer variable and real variable is defined to store the position of additional association matrix element It sets and numerical value.
One is defined by the row vector for being not fixed length that the complex data forms to store produced by additional association matrix Except principal matrix member in addition to every row supplementary variable.
Incidence matrix for being present in upper triangle and lower triangle is adopted according to the Gaussian elimination method basic principle of column selection pivot Take relatively different storing modes.
As shown in fig. 6, increasing the energy integral volume in direction for the coding of fixed edge i node, if containing multiple another Outer one side energy integral volume, the second side node k and equal energy Interpolation Nodes pairThere are associations, ifThen existWithTwo column are lower to introduce the added martix member being located at below diagonal element, line number fromTo k;If knot Point k withOrEqual, principal matrix covers additional association matrix, and additional association matrix only stores principal matrix and do not store Element, for upper biserial correlation form, additional association matrix only stores additional two column matrix member numerical value and its column index;
As shown in fig. 7, the energy integral volume in direction is reduced for the coding of fixed edge i node, if containing multiple another Outer one side energy integral volume, the first side node k and equal energy Interpolation Nodes pairThere are associations, ifThen ?WithTwo column on introduce be located at opposite angle matrix element above added martix member, line number from k toIf node k withOrEqual, principal matrix covers additional association matrix, and additional association matrix only stores the element that principal matrix does not store, right In upper biserial correlation form, additional association matrix in addition to storing additional two column matrix member numerical value and its column index, also store fromTo the matrix element position of k, and it is initialized as 0.
In view of the not plyability of left side node energy integral volume, additional association matrix element can only have row form or column Form, but both forms cannot be had concurrently simultaneously.
