While Scotch has also both node and edge separation capabilities, all of
the three MeTiS stubs METIS EdgeND, METIS NodeND and METIS NodeWND call
the same Scotch routine, which uses the Scotch default ordering strategy
proved to be efficient in most cases.

Description

The METIS NodeWND function performs a nested dissection ordering of the
graph passed as arrays xadj, adjncy and vwgt, using the default Scotch
ordering strategy. The options array is not used. The perm and iperm
arrays have the opposite meaning as in Scotch: the MeTiS perm array holds
what is called “inverse permutation” in Scotch, while iperm holds what is
called “direct permutation” in Scotch.

While Scotch has also both node and edge separation capabilities, all of
the three MeTiS stubs METIS EdgeND, METIS NodeND and METIS NodeWND call
the same Scotch routine, which uses the Scotch default ordering strategy
proved to be efficient in most cases.
