So would the goal be to reduce file size and storage space, like you do when storing only diffs?: https://github.com/alexbovet/flow_stability/blob/434caf46c06f57d41ea983ea3708f7c5d1508894/src/flowstab/temporal_network.py#L491 If this is already what you want then we can...

@alexbovet should we go for that or keep the current naming scheme?

https://github.com/alexbovet/flow_stability/pull/35#issuecomment-2306467560 We might want to add the possibility to install `flowstab` in "large" data mode where we consistently use `long long` for all index arrays.

In C++ we could simply use template functions which would allow us not having to specify the type of `indices` and `indptr`. I'm unsure if/how this can be done in...

Regarding the tests, there is now a little helper function that allows to compare matrices with not necessarily sorted indices: https://github.com/alexbovet/flow_stability/blob/b658f27a67921b5f69d192ebbe8c058c8cfea73d/tests/conftest.py#L75-L88 --- @alexbovet Regarding the `csr_` operations, would it make...

@alexbovet OK in our implementations it can matter!: If we take the example data from the comment: ```python import numpy as np from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix from flowstab.SparseStochMat import csr_csrT_matmul...
