The Cuthill-McKee algorithm is an efficient algorithm used to reduce the bandwidth of sparse symmetric matrices. It is especially useful in numerical linear algebra when working with finite element methods and other applications where matrices are large and sparse. ### Purpose: The main goal of the Cuthill-McKee algorithm is to reorder the rows and columns of a matrix to minimize the bandwidth.
