        SUBROUTINE AMDBAR
     $          (N, PE, IW, LEN, IWLEN, PFREE, NV, NEXT,
     $          LAST, HEAD, ELEN, DEGREE, NCMPA, W)

        INTEGER N, IWLEN, PFREE, NCMPA, IW (IWLEN), PE (N),

     $          ELEN (N), W (N), LEN (N)

C Given a representation of the nonzero pattern of a symmetric matrix,
C       A, (excluding the diagonal) perform an approximate minimum
C       (UMFPACK/MA38-style) degree ordering to compute a pivot order
C       such that the introduction of nonzeros (fill-in) in the Cholesky
C       factors A = LL^T are kept low.  At each step, the pivot
C       selected is the one with the minimum UMFPACK/MA38-style
C       upper-bound on the external degree.
C
C       This routine does not do aggresive absorption (as done by AMD).

C           pp. 1-19, 1989.  We list below the features mentioned in
C           that paper that this code includes:
C
C       mass elimination:
C               Yes.  MA27 relied on supervariable detection for mass
C               elimination.
C       indistinguishable nodes:
C               Yes (we call these "supervariables").  This was also in
C               the MA27 code - although we modified the method of
C               detecting them (the previous hash was the true degree,
C               which we no longer keep track of).  A supervariable is
C               a set of rows with identical nonzero pattern.  All
C               variables in a supervariable are eliminated together.
C               Each supervariable has as its numerical name that of
C               one of its variables (its principal variable).
C       quotient graph representation:
C               Yes.  We use the term "element" for the cliques formed
C               during elimination.  This was also in the MA27 code.
C               The algorithm can operate in place, but it will work
C               more efficiently if given some "elbow room."
C       element absorption:
C               Yes.  This was also in the MA27 code.
C       external degree:
C               Yes.  The MA27 code was based on the true degree.
C       incomplete degree update and multiple elimination:
C               No.  This was not in MA27, either.  Our method of
C               degree update within MC47B/BD is element-based, not
C               variable-based.  It is thus not well-suited for use
C               with incomplete degree update or multiple elimination.

C INPUT ARGUMENTS (unaltered):
C-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C n:    The matrix order.
C
C       Restriction:  1 .le. n .lt. (iovflo/2)-2, where iovflo is
C       the largest positive integer that your computer can represent.

C iwlen:        The length of iw (1..iwlen).  On input, the matrix is

C INPUT/OUPUT ARGUMENTS:
C-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C pe:   On input, pe (i) is the index in iw of the start of row i, or
C       zero if row i has no off-diagonal non-zeros.
C
C       During execution, it is used for both supervariables and
C       elements:
C
C       * Principal supervariable i:  index into iw of the
C               description of supervariable i.  A supervariable
C               represents one or more rows of the matrix
C               with identical nonzero pattern.
C       * Non-principal supervariable i:  if i has been absorbed
C               into another supervariable j, then pe (i) = -j.
C               That is, j has the same pattern as i.
C               Note that j might later be absorbed into another
C               supervariable j2, in which case pe (i) is still -j,
C               and pe (j) = -j2.
C       * Unabsorbed element e:  the index into iw of the description
C               of element e, if e has not yet been absorbed by a
C               subsequent element.  Element e is created when
C               the supervariable of the same name is selected as
C               the pivot.
C       * Absorbed element e:  if element e is absorbed into element
C               e2, then pe (e) = -e2.  This occurs when the pattern of
C               e (that is, Le) is found to be a subset of the pattern
C               of e2 (that is, Le2).  If element e is "null" (it has
C               no nonzeros outside its pivot block), then pe (e) = 0.
C
C       On output, pe holds the assembly tree/forest, which implicitly
C       represents a pivot order with identical fill-in as the actual
C       order (via a depth-first search of the tree).
C
C       On output:
C       If nv (i) .gt. 0, then i represents a node in the assembly tree,
C       and the parent of i is -pe (i), or zero if i is a root.
C       If nv (i) = 0, then (i,-pe (i)) represents an edge in a
C       subtree, the root of which is a node in the assembly tree.

C pfree:        On input the tail end of the array, iw (pfree..iwlen),
C       is empty, and the matrix is stored in iw (1..pfree-1).
C       During execution, additional data is placed in iw, and pfree
C       is modified so that iw (pfree..iwlen) is always the unused part
C       of iw.  On output, pfree is set equal to the size of iw that
C       would have been needed for no compressions to occur.  If
C       ncmpa is zero, then pfree (on output) is less than or equal to
C       iwlen, and the space iw (pfree+1 ... iwlen) was not used.
C       Otherwise, pfree (on output) is greater than iwlen, and all the
C       memory in iw was used.

C-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C INPUT/MODIFIED (undefined on output):
C-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C len:  On input, len (i) holds the number of entries in row i of the
C       matrix, excluding the diagonal.  The contents of len (1..n)
C       are undefined on output.

C iw:   On input, iw (1..pfree-1) holds the description of each row i
C       in the matrix.  The matrix must be symmetric, and both upper
C       and lower triangular parts must be present.  The diagonal must
C       not be present.  Row i is held as follows:
C
C               len (i):  the length of the row i data structure
C               iw (pe (i) ... pe (i) + len (i) - 1):
C                       the list of column indices for nonzeros
C                       in row i (simple supervariables), excluding
C                       the diagonal.  All supervariables start with
C                       one row/column each (supervariable i is just
C                       row i).
C               if len (i) is zero on input, then pe (i) is ignored
C               on input.
C
C               Note that the rows need not be in any particular order,
C               and there may be empty space between the rows.
C
C       During execution, the supervariable i experiences fill-in.
C       This is represented by placing in i a list of the elements
C       that cause fill-in in supervariable i:
C
C               len (i):  the length of supervariable i
C               iw (pe (i) ... pe (i) + elen (i) - 1):
C                       the list of elements that contain i.  This list
C                       is kept short by removing absorbed elements.
C               iw (pe (i) + elen (i) ... pe (i) + len (i) - 1):
C                       the list of supervariables in i.  This list
C                       is kept short by removing nonprincipal
C                       variables, and any entry j that is also
C                       contained in at least one of the elements
C                       (j in Le) in the list for i (e in row i).
C
C       When supervariable i is selected as pivot, we create an
C       element e of the same name (e=i):
C
C               len (e):  the length of element e
C               iw (pe (e) ... pe (e) + len (e) - 1):
C                       the list of supervariables in element e.
C
C       An element represents the fill-in that occurs when supervariable
C       i is selected as pivot (which represents the selection of row i
C       and all non-principal variables whose principal variable is i).
C       We use the term Le to denote the set of all supervariables
C       in element e.  Absorbed supervariables and elements are pruned
C       from these lists when computationally convenient.
C
C       CAUTION:  THE INPUT MATRIX IS OVERWRITTEN DURING COMPUTATION.
C       The contents of iw are undefined on output.

C-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C OUTPUT (need not be set on input):
C-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C nv:   During execution, abs (nv (i)) is equal to the number of rows
C       that are represented by the principal supervariable i.  If i is
C       a nonprincipal variable, then nv (i) = 0.  Initially,
C       nv (i) = 1 for all i.  nv (i) .lt. 0 signifies that i is a
C       principal variable in the pattern Lme of the current pivot
C       element me.  On output, nv (e) holds the true degree of element
C       e at the time it was created (including the diagonal part).

C ncmpa:        The number of times iw was compressed.  If this is
C       excessive, then the execution took longer than what could have
C       been.  To reduce ncmpa, try increasing iwlen to be 10% or 20%
C       larger than the value of pfree on input (or at least
C       iwlen .ge. pfree + n).  The fastest performance will be
C       obtained when ncmpa is returned as zero.  If iwlen is set to
C       the value returned by pfree on *output*, then no compressions
C       will occur.

C elen: See the description of iw above.  At the start of execution,
C       elen (i) is set to zero.  During execution, elen (i) is the
C       number of elements in the list for supervariable i.  When e
C       becomes an element, elen (e) = -nel is set, where nel is the
C       current step of factorization.  elen (i) = 0 is done when i
C       becomes nonprincipal.
C
C       For variables, elen (i) .ge. 0 holds until just before the
C       permutation vectors are computed.  For elements,
C       elen (e) .lt. 0 holds.
C
C       On output elen (1..n) holds the inverse permutation (the same
C       as the 'INVP' argument in Sparspak).  That is, if k = elen (i),
C       then row i is the kth pivot row.  Row i of A appears as the
C       (elen(i))-th row in the permuted matrix, PAP^T.

C last: In a degree list, last (i) is the supervariable preceding i,
C       or zero if i is the head of the list.  In a hash bucket,
C       last (i) is the hash key for i.  last (head (hash)) is also
C       used as the head of a hash bucket if head (hash) contains a
C       degree list (see head, below).
C
C       On output, last (1..n) holds the permutation (the same as the
C       'PERM' argument in Sparspak).  That is, if i = last (k), then
C       row i is the kth pivot row.  Row last (k) of A is the k-th row
C       in the permuted matrix, PAP^T.

C-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C LOCAL (not input or output - used only during execution):
C-----------------------------------------------------------------------

C degree:       If i is a supervariable, then degree (i) holds the
C       current approximation of the external degree of row i (an upper
C       bound).  The external degree is the number of nonzeros in row i,
C       minus abs (nv (i)) (the diagonal part).  The bound is equal to
C       the external degree if elen (i) is less than or equal to two.
C
C       We also use the term "external degree" for elements e to refer
C       to |Le \ Lme|.  If e is an element, then degree (e) holds |Le|,
C       which is the degree of the off-diagonal part of the element e
C       (not including the diagonal part).

C head: head is used for degree lists.  head (deg) is the first
C       supervariable in a degree list (all supervariables i in a
C       degree list deg have the same approximate degree, namely,
C       deg = degree (i)).  If the list deg is empty then
C       head (deg) = 0.
C
C       During supervariable detection head (hash) also serves as a
C       pointer to a hash bucket.
C       If head (hash) .gt. 0, there is a degree list of degree hash.
C               The hash bucket head pointer is last (head (hash)).
C       If head (hash) = 0, then the degree list and hash bucket are
C               both empty.
C       If head (hash) .lt. 0, then the degree list is empty, and
C               -head (hash) is the head of the hash bucket.
C       After supervariable detection is complete, all hash buckets
C       are empty, and the (last (head (hash)) = 0) condition is
C       restored for the non-empty degree lists.

C next: next (i) is the supervariable following i in a link list, or
C       zero if i is the last in the list.  Used for two kinds of
C       lists:  degree lists and hash buckets (a supervariable can be
C       in only one kind of list at a time).

C w:    The flag array w determines the status of elements and
C       variables, and the external degree of elements.
C
C       for elements:
C          if w (e) = 0, then the element e is absorbed
C          if w (e) .ge. wflg, then w (e) - wflg is the size of
C               the set |Le \ Lme|, in terms of nonzeros (the
C               sum of abs (nv (i)) for each principal variable i that
C               is both in the pattern of element e and NOT in the
C               pattern of the current pivot element, me).
C          if wflg .gt. w (e) .gt. 0, then e is not absorbed and has
C               not yet been seen in the scan of the element lists in
C               the computation of |Le\Lme| in loop 150 below.
C
C       for variables:
C          during supervariable detection, if w (j) .ne. wflg then j is
C          not in the pattern of variable i
C
C       The w array is initialized by setting w (i) = 1 for all i,
C       and by setting wflg = 2.  It is reinitialized if wflg becomes
C       too large (to ensure that wflg+n does not cause integer
C       overflow).
