    public interface FieldLUDecomposition<T extends FieldElement<T>>
    An interface to classes that implement an algorithm to calculate the LU-decomposition of a real matrix.

    The LU-decomposition of matrix A is a set of three matrices: P, L and U such that P×A = L×U. P is a rows permutation matrix that is used to rearrange the rows of A before so that it can be decomposed. L is a lower triangular matrix with unit diagonal terms and U is an upper triangular matrix.

    This interface 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    • the solve and isNonSingular methods have been replaced by a getSolver method and the equivalent methods provided by the returned DecompositionSolver.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

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

        L is an lower-triangular matrix

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

        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

        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)
