# Sparse Vector

## Mapped Vector

#### Description

The templated class `mapped_vector<T, A>` is the base container adaptor for sparse vectors using element maps. For a n-dimensional sparse vector and 0 <= i < n the non-zero elements vi are mapped to consecutive elements of the associative container, i.e. for elements k = vi1and k + 1 = vi2of the container holds i1 < i2.

#### Example

    #include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector_sparse.hpp>
    #include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp>

    int main () {
        using namespace boost::numeric::ublas;
        mapped_vector<double> v (3, 3);
        for (unsigned i = 0; i < v.size (); ++ i)
            v (i) = i;
        std::cout << v << std::endl;
    }

Defined in the header vector_sparse.hpp.
