      A general scheme for the factorization of a sparse nonsymmetric matrix is presented. It is shown that as particular cases this scheme includes Gaussian elimination with (or without) block triangularization, nested dissection and many others. A version of the factorization allows to obtain a compromise between fill-in and number of computations. It is used to find the inverse of a sparse matrix and to solve a sparse linear system of equations.
