'''Partitioning on an Element'' is used in a cyclical way to order the indexing of the matrix under development. | |||
In the process of [[Partitioning|partitioning]], data are supplied that partially fill the matrix. Each cycle may involve several parts, and each part involves the ''same four steps'': | |||
the process of partitioning, data are supplied that partially | * First cycle has only one part, and four steps | ||
fill the matrix. Each cycle may involve several parts, and | * Second cycle may have as many as three parts, depending on the results of the first | ||

only one part, and | * Third cycle may have as many as nine parts | ||
* The nth cycle may have as many as 3<sup>n-1</sup> parts. | |||
many as three parts, depending on the results of the first | |||
cycle. | Experience suggests that only a few cycles will normally be needed to develop a [[Reachability Matrix]], and the number of parts will seldom be as high as the stated maxima. | ||
