java.lang.Object

org.spaceroots.mantissa.linalg.Matrix

org.spaceroots.mantissa.linalg.GeneralMatrix

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class GeneralMatrix
extends Matrix

This class represents matrices of the most general type.

This class is the basic implementation of matrices to use when nothing special is known about the structure of the matrix.

Constructor Detail

GeneralMatrix

public GeneralMatrix(int rows,
                     int columns)

Simple constructor. Build a matrix with null elements.

Parameters:

rows - number of rows of the matrix

columns - number of columns of the matrix

GeneralMatrix

public GeneralMatrix(int rows,
                     int columns,
                     double[] data)

Simple constructor. Build a matrix with specified elements.

Parameters:

rows - number of rows of the matrix

columns - number of columns of the matrix

data - table of the matrix elements (stored row after row)

GeneralMatrix

public GeneralMatrix(Matrix m)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

m - matrix to copy

Method Detail

duplicate

public Matrix duplicate()

Description copied from class: Matrix

Polymorphic copy operator. This method build a new object of the same type of the instance. It is somewhat similar to the Object.clone() method, except that it has public access, it doesn't throw any specific exception and it returns a Matrix.

Specified by:

duplicate in class Matrix

See Also:

Object.clone()

selfAdd

public void selfAdd(Matrix m)

Add a matrix to the instance. This method adds a matrix to the instance. It does modify the instance.

Parameters:

m - matrix to add

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is a dimension mismatch

selfSub

public void selfSub(Matrix m)

Substract a matrix from the instance. This method substracts a matrix from the instance. It does modify the instance.

Parameters:

m - matrix to substract

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is a dimension mismatch
