Linear algebra introduction

O₂scl contains a small set of linear algebra routines but is also is designed to be used with Armadillo and/or Eigen, both of which are high performance C++ linear algebra libraries. In the case that O₂scl was compiled with support for either the Armadillo or Eigen libraries, some O₂scl template functions are overloaded with the respective Armadillo or Eigen versions.

The fallback O₂scl linear algebra routines offer a more generic and flexible interface: they work for almost all vector and matrix types. For matrix types using operator(,), the BLAS and linear algebra routines routines are inside the o2scl_cblas and o2scl_linalg namespaces. For matrix types using operator[][], the BLAS and linear algebra routines are inside the o2scl_cblas_bracket and o2scl_linalg_bracket namespaces.

The linear algebra classes and functions include:

There is also a set of linear solvers for generic matrix and vector types which descend from linear_solver . These classes provide GSL-like solvers, but are generalized so that they are compatible with vector and matrix types which allow access through operator[].

Specializations for Armadillo and Eigen

Armadillo and Eigen linear solvers are wrapped to have a consistent interface with the fallback O₂scl linear solvers. See o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_arma, o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_houseQR, o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_colQR, o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_fullQR, o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_partLU, o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_fullLU, o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_LLT, and o2scl_linalg::linear_solver_eigen_LDLT.
