I'm not able to understand the cidx vector given here-

and here- http://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0604006v1.pdf

cidx  = [0, 1, 2, 2, 4]

I understand why it starts with 0. What does 1, 2, 2, 4 represent?

Shamika



The number of elements in the i-th column is
given by cidx (i + 1) - cidx (i).


1-0 = 1 element on column 0
2-1 = 1 element on column 1
2-2 = 0 element on column 2
4-2 = 2 elements on column 3
