Design of LinBox v2.0
Main points to be addressed:
- Redesign the matrix/BlackBox toward a more intuitive and simpler usage. See MatrixDesign.
- Update the solutions wrt the new matrix interface. Clean the current code and make it uniform for all solutions. See SolutionDesign.
- Change the configuration system to !SCons: M Abshoff, can you maybe make a short wiki entry on this point (motivation, port to MSVC, ...)
- Chinese remainder code: uniformize the way it is used (matrixHom), make it faster
- Clarify the distinction between Ring and Field:
- separate directories?
- inheritance? which way?
- update the Domain traits (ModularTag doesnt tell whether the ring is a field...)
- Hadamard bounds: create a solution/hadamard.h
- for SparseMatrix and DenseMatrix: compute the effective bound, using row and col iterators.
- compute the vector norms over Z ?
- otherwise, majoration of each entry by a power of 2, and manipulation with the bit indices to compute the log(sum_i(|aij|))
- for BlackBoxes :
- Should they provide a method maxEntry (returning max |a_{i,j}|)?
- use 'apply' to recover the col/row vectors and then compute the bound (probably way too expensive)
- for SparseMatrix and DenseMatrix: compute the effective bound, using row and col iterators.
