Class CholeskyDecomposition

java.lang.Object

org.hipparchus.linear.CholeskyDecomposition

public class CholeskyDecomposition
extends Object

Calculates the Cholesky decomposition of a matrix.

The Cholesky decomposition of a real symmetric positive-definite matrix A consists of a lower triangular matrix L with same size such that: A = LL^T. In a sense, this is the square root of A.

This class is based on the class with similar name from the JAMA library, with the following changes:

• a getLT method has been added,
• the isspd method has been removed, since the constructor of this class throws a MathIllegalArgumentException when a matrix cannot be decomposed,
• a getDeterminant method has been added,
• the solve method has been replaced by a getSolver method and the equivalent method provided by the returned DecompositionSolver.

Constructor Detail

CholeskyDecomposition

public CholeskyDecomposition(RealMatrix matrix)

Calculates the Cholesky decomposition of the given matrix.

Calling this constructor is equivalent to call CholeskyDecomposition(RealMatrix, double, double) with the thresholds set to the default values DEFAULT_RELATIVE_SYMMETRY_THRESHOLD and DEFAULT_ABSOLUTE_POSITIVITY_THRESHOLD

Parameters:

matrix - the matrix to decompose

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the matrix is not square.

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the matrix is not symmetric.

MathIllegalArgumentException - if the matrix is not strictly positive definite.
