-\textbf{A IS NOT POSITIVE DEFINITE: CHECK WITH EDOARDO}
+Solving $Ax = b$ would be a costly operation since the a Cholesky
+decomposition of matrix $A$ (performed using MATLAB's \texttt{chol(\ldots)})
+would drastically reduce the number of zero elements in the matrix in the very
+first iteration. This is due to the fact that the first row, by definition, is
+made of of only nonzero elements (namely 1s) and by subtracting the first row to
+every other row (as what would effectively happen in the first iteration of the
+Cholesky decomposition of A) the zero elements would become (negative) nonzero
+elements, thus making all columns but the first almost empty of 0s.

+The author indexes of the common authors between the author at index $i$ and the

+elements in the Schur product (or element-wise product) between $A_{:,i}$ and
+$A_{:,j}$ (respectively the i-th and j-th column vector of $A$). Therefore the set $C$ of common coauthor's indexes can be defined
