Factorizing a block symmetric matrix

Assuming that $X$ and $Y$ are invertible (if not, probably a perturbation argument will yield the generalization). Then, the following choice of $M$ works, i.e., $MDM^T$ equals your original matrix wi …

Showing block diagonal structure of matrix by reordering

You might want to have a look at the Cuthill-KcKee algorithm and from there perhaps also chase the other sparse matrix reordering algorithms. The abovecited method seeks to minimize the bandwidth of a …
