Class CholeskyDecomposition

java.lang.Object
  Jama.CholeskyDecomposition

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class CholeskyDecomposition

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

Cholesky Decomposition.

For a symmetric, positive definite matrix A, the Cholesky decomposition is an lower triangular matrix L so that A = L*L'.

If the matrix is not symmetric or positive definite, the constructor returns a partial decomposition and sets an internal flag that may be queried by the isSPD() method.

Constructor Detail

CholeskyDecomposition

public CholeskyDecomposition(Matrix Arg)

Cholesky algorithm for symmetric and positive definite matrix.

Parameters:

Arg - Square, symmetric matrix.

Method Detail

isSPD

public boolean isSPD()

Is the matrix symmetric and positive definite?

Returns:

true if A is symmetric and positive definite.

getL

public Matrix getL()

Return triangular factor.

Returns:

L

solve

public Matrix solve(Matrix B)

Solve A*X = B

Parameters:

B - A Matrix with as many rows as A and any number of columns.

Returns:

X so that L*L'*X = B

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Matrix row dimensions must agree.

java.lang.RuntimeException - Matrix is not symmetric positive definite.
