org.flag4j.linalg.solvers.exact.triangular.ForwardSolver<T,U,V>
Type Parameters:
T - Type of coefficient matrix.
U - Vector type equivalent to the coefficient matrix.
V - Type of the internal storage datastructures in the matrix and vector.
All Implemented Interfaces:
LinearMatrixSolver<T,U>, LinearSolver<T>

public abstract class ForwardSolver<T extends MatrixMixin<T,?,U,?>,U extends VectorMixin<U,T,?,?>,V> extends Object implements LinearMatrixSolver<T,U>
This solver solves linear systems of equations where the coefficient matrix in a lower triangular real dense matrix and the constant vector is a real dense vector. That is, solves, L*x=b or L*X=B for the vector x or the matrix X respectively where L is a lower triangular matrix.

    • RANK_CONDITION

      protected static final double RANK_CONDITION
      Threshold for determining if a determinant is to be considered zero when checking if the coefficient matrix is full rank.

    • isUnit

      protected final boolean isUnit
      Flag indicating if lower-triangular matrices passed to this solver will be unit lower-triangular (true) or simply lower-triangular (false).

    • enforceLower

      protected final boolean enforceLower
      Flag indicating if an explicit check should be made that the coefficient matrix is lower triangular. If false, the matrix will simply be assumed to be lower triangular.

    • xCol

      protected V xCol
      Temporary storage for columns of the solution matrix. This can be used to improve cache performance when columns need to be traveled.

    • ForwardSolver

      protected ForwardSolver(boolean isUnit, boolean enforceLower)
      Creates a solver for solving a lower-triangular system.
      Parameters:
      isUnit - Flag indicating if coefficient matrices passed will be unit lower-triangular or simply lower-triangular in general.
      enforceLower - Flag indicating if an explicit check should be made that the coefficient matrix is lower triangular.

    • checkParams

      protected void checkParams(T coeff, int constantRows)
      Ensures passed parameters are valid for the back solver.
      Parameters:
      coeff - Coefficient matrix in the linear system.
      constantRows - Number of rows in the constant vector or matrix.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If coeff is not square, coeff.numRows()!=constantRows, or if enforceTriU is true and coeff is not upper triangular.

      protected void checkSingular(double detAbs, int numRows, int numCols)
      Checks if the coefficient matrix is singular based on the computed determinant.
      Parameters:
      detAbs - Absolute value of computed determinant.
      numRows - Number of rows in the coefficient matrix.
      numCols - Number of columns in the coefficient matrix.
