Compute the eigensystem of a symmetric matrix.

a is a real symmetric matrix, ew is a single-column matrix holding the eigenvalues, and ev is a matrix of the same size as a whose columns are the corresponding eigenvectors. Eigenvalues will be sorted from largest to smallest magnitude. The algorithm returns `false` when it doesn't converge. It can be applied in-place, i.e. `&a == &ev` is allowed. The code of this function was adapted from JAMA.

bool vigra::linalg::polynomialRootsEigenvalueMethod | ( | POLYNOMIAL const & | poly,
|  | VECTOR & | roots,

| ) |  |  |

Compute the roots of a polynomial using the eigenvalue method.

poly is a real polynomial (compatible to vigra::PolynomialView), and roots a complex valued vector (compatible to `std::vector` with a `value_type` compatible to the type `POLYNOMIAL::Complex`) to which the roots are appended. The function calls nonsymmetricEigensystem() with the standard companion matrix yielding the roots as eigenvalues. It returns `false` if it fails to converge.

Compute the real roots of a real polynomial using the eigenvalue method.

poly is a real polynomial (compatible to vigra::PolynomialView), and roots a real valued vector (compatible to `std::vector` with a `value_type` compatible to the type `POLYNOMIAL::Real`) to which the roots are appended. The function calls polynomialRootsEigenvalueMethod() and throws away all complex roots. It returns `false` if it fails to converge.

bool vigra::linalg::inverse | ( | const MultiArrayView< 2, T, C1 > & | v,
|  | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C2 > & | res |
| ) |  |  |

Create the inverse or pseudo-inverse of matrix v.

If the matrix v is square, res must have the same shape and will contain the inverse of v. If v is rectangular, it must have more rows than columns, and res must have the transposed shape of v. The inverse is then computed in the least-squares sense, i.e. res will be the pseudo-inverse (Moore-Penrose inverse). The function returns `true` upon success, and `false` if v is not invertible (has not full rank). The inverse is computed by means of QR decomposition. This function can be applied in-place.

template<class T, class C>
TemporaryMatrix<T> vigra::linalg::inverse | ( | const MultiArrayView< 2, T, C > & | v | ) |

Create the inverse or pseudo-inverse of matrix v.

The result is returned as a temporary matrix. If the matrix v is square, the result will have the same shape and contains the inverse of v. If v is rectangular, it must have more rows than columns, and the result will have the transposed shape of v. The inverse is then computed in the least-squares sense, i.e. res will be the pseudo-inverse (Moore-Penrose inverse). The inverse is computed by means of QR decomposition. If v is not invertible, `vigra::PreconditionViolation` exception is thrown. Usage:

            vigra::Matrix<double> v(n, n);
            v = ...;

            vigra::Matrix<double> m = inverse(v);

T vigra::linalg::determinant | ( | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C1 > const & | a,

| ) |  |  |

Compute the determinant of a square matrix.

method must be one of the following:

"Cholesky"
  Compute the solution by means of Cholesky decomposition. This method is faster than "LU", but requires the matrix a to be symmetric positive definite. If this is not the case, a `ContractViolation` exception is thrown.

"LU"
  (default) Compute the solution by means of LU decomposition.

template<class T, class C1>
T vigra::linalg::logDeterminant | ( | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C1 > const & | a | ) |

Compute the logarithm of the determinant of a symmetric positive definite matrix.

This is useful to avoid multiplication of very large numbers in big matrices. It is implemented by means of Cholesky decomposition.

bool vigra::linalg::choleskyDecomposition | ( | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C1 > const & | A,
|  | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C2 > & | L |
| ) |  |  |

Cholesky decomposition.

A must be a symmetric positive definite matrix, and L will be a lower triangular matrix, such that (up to round-off errors):

            A == L * transpose(L);

This implementation cannot be applied in-place, i.e. `&L == &A` is an error. If A is not symmetric, a `ContractViolation` exception is thrown. If it is not positive definite, the function returns `false`.

|  | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C3 > & | r,
|  | double | epsilon = `0.0` |
| ) |  |  |

QR decomposition.

a contains the original matrix, results are returned in q and r, where q is a orthogonal matrix, and r is an upper triangular matrix, such that (up to round-off errors):

            a == q * r;

If a dosn't have full rank, the function returns `false`. The decomposition is computed by householder transformations. It can be applied in-place, i.e. `&a == &q` or `&a == &r` are allowed.

| ) |  |  |

Solve a linear system with upper-triangular coefficient matrix.

The square matrix r must be an upper-triangular coefficient matrix as can, for example, be obtained by means of QR decomposition. If r doesn't have full rank the function fails and returns `false`, otherwise it returns `true`. The lower triangular part of matrix r will not be touched, so it doesn't need to contain zeros.

The column vectors of matrix b are the right-hand sides of the equation (several equations with the same coefficients can thus be solved in one go). The result is returned int x, whose columns contain the solutions for the corresponding columns of b. This implementation can be applied in-place, i.e. `&b == &x` is allowed. The following size requirements apply:

            rowCount(r) == columnCount(r);
            rowCount(r) == rowCount(b);
            columnCount(r) == rowCount(x);
            columnCount(b) == columnCount(x);

Solve a linear system with lower-triangular coefficient matrix.

The square matrix l must be a lower-triangular coefficient matrix. If l doesn't have full rank the function fails and returns `false`, otherwise it returns `true`. The upper triangular part of matrix l will not be touched, so it doesn't need to contain zeros.

The column vectors of matrix b are the right-hand sides of the equation (several equations with the same coefficients can thus be solved in one go). The result is returned in x, whose columns contain the solutions for the correspoinding columns of b. This implementation can be applied in-place, i.e. `&b == &x` is allowed.

Solve a linear system when the Cholesky decomposition of the left hand side is given.

The square matrix L must be a lower-triangular matrix resulting from Cholesky decomposition of some positive definite coefficient matrix.

The column vectors of matrix b are the right-hand sides of the equation (several equations with the same matrix L can thus be solved in one go). The result is returned in x, whose columns contain the solutions for the correspoinding columns of b. This implementation can be applied in-place, i.e. `&b == &x` is allowed.

Solve a linear system.

A is the coefficient matrix, and the column vectors in b are the right-hand sides of the equation (so, several equations with the same coefficients can be solved in one go). The result is returned in res, whose columns contain the solutions for the corresponding columns of b. The number of columns of A must equal the number of rows of both b and res, and the number of columns of b and res must match.

method must be one of the following:

"Cholesky"
  Compute the solution by means of Cholesky decomposition. The coefficient matrix A must by symmetric positive definite. If this is not the case, the function returns `false`.

"QR"
  (default) Compute the solution by means of QR decomposition. The coefficient matrix A can be square or rectangular. In the latter case, it must have more rows than columns, and the solution will be computed in the least squares sense. If A doesn't have full rank, the function returns `false`.

"SVD"
  Compute the solution by means of singular value decomposition. The coefficient matrix A can be square or rectangular. In the latter case, it must have more rows than columns, and the solution will be computed in the least squares sense. If A doesn't have full rank, the function returns `false`.

"NE"
  Compute the solution by means of the normal equations, i.e. by applying Cholesky decomposition to the equivalent problem `A'*A*x = A'*b`. This only makes sense when the equation is to be solved in the least squares sense, i.e. when A is a rectangular matrix with more rows than columns. If A doesn't have full column rank, the function returns `false`.

This function can be applied in-place, i.e. `&b == &res` or `&A == &res` are allowed (provided they have the required shapes).

The following size requirements apply:

            rowCount(r) == rowCount(b);
            columnCount(r) == rowCount(x);
            columnCount(b) == columnCount(x);

|  | MultiArrayView< 2, T, C4 > & | V |

Singular Value Decomposition.

For an m-by-n matrix A with m >= n, the singular value decomposition is an m-by-n orthogonal matrix U, an n-by-n diagonal matrix S, and an n-by-n orthogonal matrix V so that A = U*S*V'.

To save memory, this functions stores the matrix S in a column vector of appropriate length (a diagonal matrix can be obtained by `diagonalMatrix(S)`). The singular values, sigma[k] = S(k, 0), are ordered so that sigma[0] >= sigma[1] >= ... >= sigma[n-1].

The singular value decomposition always exists, so this function will never fail (except if the shapes of the argument matrices don't match). The effective numerical rank of A is returned.
