Class FieldLUDecomposition<T extends FieldElement<T>>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the field elements

    public class FieldLUDecomposition<T extends FieldElement<T>>
    extends Object
    Calculates the LUP-decomposition of a square matrix.

    The LUP-decomposition of a matrix A consists of three matrices L, U and P that satisfy: PA = LU, L is lower triangular, and U is upper triangular and P is a permutation matrix. All matrices are m×m.

    This class is based on the class with similar name from the JAMA library.

    • a getP method has been added,
    • the det method has been renamed as getDeterminant,
    • the getDoublePivot method has been removed (but the int based getPivot method has been kept),
    • the solve and isNonSingular methods have been replaced by a getSolver method and the equivalent methods provided by the returned DecompositionSolver.

    • Method Detail

      • getL

        public FieldMatrix<T> getL()
        Returns the matrix L of the decomposition.

        L is a lower-triangular matrix

        Returns:
        the L matrix (or null if decomposed matrix is singular)
      • getU

        public FieldMatrix<T> getU()
        Returns the matrix U of the decomposition.

        U is an upper-triangular matrix

        Returns:
        the U matrix (or null if decomposed matrix is singular)
      • getP

        public FieldMatrix<T> getP()
        Returns the P rows permutation matrix.

        P is a sparse matrix with exactly one element set to 1.0 in each row and each column, all other elements being set to 0.0.

        The positions of the 1 elements are given by the pivot permutation vector.

        Returns:
        the P rows permutation matrix (or null if decomposed matrix is singular)

        public T getDeterminant()
        Return the determinant of the matrix.
        Returns:
        determinant of the matrix
      • getSolver

        public FieldDecompositionSolver<T> getSolver()
        Get a solver for finding the A × X = B solution in exact linear sense.
