Detailed Description

template<class Blackbox>
class LinBox::Inverse< Blackbox >

A Blackbox for the inverse.

Not efficient if many applications are used.

The matrix itself is not stored in memory. Rather, its apply methods use a vector of field elements, which are used to "multiply" the matrix to a vector.

This class has three template parameters. The first is the field in which the arithmetic is to be done. The second is the type of LinBox vector to which to apply the matrix. The third is chosen be default to be the LinBox vector trait of the vector. This class is then specialized for dense and sparse vectors.

Parameters

Field	LinBox field
Vector	LinBox dense or sparse vector of field elements
Trait	Marker whether to use dense or sparse LinBox vector implementation. This is chosen by a default parameter and partial template specialization.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Inverse()

Inverse ( const Blackbox *  BB )

inline

Constructor from field and dense vector of field elements.

Parameters

BB	Black box of which to get the inverse

Member Function Documentation

apply()

OutVector& apply ( OutVector &  y, const InVector &  x  ) const

inline

Application of BlackBox matrix.

y= A*x. Requires one vector conforming to the LinBox vector archetype. Required by abstract base class.

Returns

reference to vector y containing output.

Parameters

y	reference to vector into which to store the result
x	constant reference to vector to contain input

applyTranspose()

OutVector& applyTranspose ( OutVector &  y, const InVector &  x  ) const

inline

Application of BlackBox matrix transpose.

Requires one vector conforming to the LinBox vector archetype. Required by abstract base class.

Returns

reference to vector y containing output.

Parameters

x	constant reference to vector to contain input
y

rowdim()

size_t rowdim ( void  ) const

inline

Retreive row dimensions of BlackBox matrix.

This may be needed for applying preconditioners. Required by abstract base class.

Returns

integer number of rows of black box matrix.

coldim()

size_t coldim ( void  ) const

inline

Retreive column dimensions of BlackBox matrix.

Required by abstract base class.

Returns

integer number of columns of black box matrix.
