Notes
Surface fitting problem for visualization, Sean Hardesty              
                                                                      
Visualization of 3D structures in the earth                           
                                                                      
The Hardesty3 matrix is an interpolation matrix stacked above a       
weighted Laplacian, to to fit a surface z(x,y) to a set of points     
in R^3 subject to a smoothness constraint enforced via regularization.
Hardesty2 is a smaller version of this problem.                       
                                                                      
For the big matrix (Hardesty/Hardesty3), sparse QR (via SuiteSparseQR,
or SPQR) finds an R factor and a set of Householder vectors (Q.H) with
about 150 million nonzeros.  Sparse LU factorization (with UMFPACK    
v5.7.1) sees very high fillin (about 2.5 billion nonzeros in L+U).    
                                                                      
The Hardesty1 matrix is a simple discretization of a 2D biharmonic    
operator with some Lagrange multiplier constraints used for smoothing.
