Abstract
This paper employs nine graph models with an efficient strategy for nodal ordering of finite element meshes in order to construct different graph theoretical algorithms for the profile reduction of sparse matrices with symmetric structures. The efficiency of the algorithms are compared through examples of unstructured finite element models.
