%% BANDWIDTH_MESH determines the bandwidth of the coefficient matrix.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The quantity computed here is the "geometric" bandwidth determined
%    by the finite element mesh alone.
%
%    If a single finite element variable is associated with each node
%    of the mesh, and if the nodes and variables are numbered in the
%    same way, then the geometric bandwidth is the same as the bandwidth
%    of a typical finite element matrix.
%
%    The bandwidth M is defined in terms of the lower and upper bandwidths:
%
%      M = ML + 1 + MU
%
%    where 
%
%      ML = maximum distance from any diagonal entry to a nonzero
%      entry in the same row, but earlier column,
%
%      MU = maximum distance from any diagonal entry to a nonzero
%      entry in the same row, but later column.
%
%    Because the finite element node adjacency relationship is symmetric,
%    we are guaranteed that ML = MU.
