Redundant
[edit]This article should link to the sparse matrix article, which is the same concept, but much better writing.
TeX showing
[edit]I'm not sure how to represent sparse arrays otherwise I would try to fix it up myself. Your TeX is showing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.248.59 (talk) 16:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Fewer iterations
[edit]"Also, when a linked list is used, the array elements can be accessed through fewer iterations than in a normal array."

- I don't get it either, sounds counter-intuitive. 185.31.142.251 (talk) 13:25, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
Sparse array a special case of a more general concept?
[edit]I know talk pages are not for asking questions or discussing a topic, but I have a feeling that sparse arrays may be a special case of a more general concept, and wonder whether that concept (which I don't know the name of) should be linked to from here. I am thinking that "in which most of the elements have the same value" (that is ai = k for some constant k, often 0), could be generalised to ai in K, where K is a set of values. Googling hasn't come up with anything for me, so maybe such a generalisation hasn't come up in the field? I find that hard to believe, though. --Lasse Hillerøe Petersen (talk) 22:06, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Merging with Sparse matrix
[edit]The Sparse matrix page covers most everything here, more clearly, and with references. It had been around for a decade before this one was created as part of a class project it seems. The concept (numerical analysis) and representation (computer science) belong together. I've added in the bits that weren't there, and redirected this page there. ★NealMcB★ (talk) 21:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
