WHAT DOES SPARSITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sparse matrix

In numerical analysis, a sparse matrix is a matrix populated primarily with zeros as elements of the table. By contrast, if a larger number of elements differ from zero, then it is common to refer to the matrix as a dense matrix. The fraction of zero elements in a matrix is called the sparsity. Conceptually, sparsity corresponds to systems which are loosely coupled. Consider a line of balls connected by springs from one to the next; this is a sparse system. By contrast, if the same line of balls had springs connecting each ball to all other balls, the system would be represented by a dense matrix. The concept of sparsity is useful in combinatorics and application areas such as network theory, which have a low density of significant data or connections. Huge sparse matrices often appear in science or engineering when solving partial differential equations. When storing and manipulating sparse matrices on a computer, it is beneficial and often necessary to use specialized algorithms and data structures that take advantage of the sparse structure of the matrix.
