Five new algorithms were proposed in order to optimize well conditioning of structural matrices. Along with decreasing the size and duration of analyses, minimizing analytical errors is a critical factor in the optimal computer analysis of skeletal structures. Appropriate matrices with a greater number of zeros (sparse), a well structure, and a well condition are advantageous for this objective. As a result, a problem of optimization with various goals will be addressed. This study seeks to…
