Hi all, I have a large sparse matrix A ( its size is (2823,2823 ) its type is SparceMatrixCSC{ Integer, Int64} ) with 0/1 values only. I want to get a sparse matrix B = A^2, and get the largest value in this matrix. For reasons beyond my understanding it looks like matrix B suddenly gets a typ…

[image] Annette_F: A = zeros( Integer, 2400, 2400 ) Do you have a reason for using Integer (an abstract type) here? If you use a concrete type like Int (or BigInt if you need the ability to store arbitrarily large numbers), it will not widen the element type to Any when multiplying.

Sparse matrix product causes unnecessary casting to "Any" thereby causing issues?

Why is the element type being widened at all? Why doesn’t it stay Integer?
