* Cholesky decs are NOT rank revealing so remove all the rank/isPositiveDefinite etc stuff.
* fix bug in LLT: s/return/continue/
* introduce machine_epsilon constants, they are actually needed for Higman's formula determining
the cutoff in Cholesky. Btw fix the page reference to his book (chat with Keir).
* solve methods always return true, since this isn't a rank revealing dec. Actually... they already did always return true!! Now it's explicit.
* updated dox and unit-test
* in LDLT, support the negative semidefinite case
* fix bad floating-point comparisons, improves greatly the accuracy of methods like
isPositiveDefinite() and rank()
* simplifications
* identify (but not resolve) bug: claim that only triangular part is used, is inaccurate
* expanded unit-tests
* try to be clever in matrix ctors and operator=: be lazy when we can, always allow
to copy rowvector into columnvector, check the template parameters,
try to factor the code better
* add missing copy ctor in UnalignedType
* fix bug in the traits of DiagonalProduct
* renaming: EIGEN_TUNE_FOR_CPU_CACHE_SIZE
* update the dox a little
* actually GCC 4.3.0 has a bug, "deprecated" placed at the end
of a function prototype doesn't have any effect, moving them to
the start of the function prototype makes it actually work!
* finish porting the cholesky unit-test to the new LLT/LDLT,
after the above fix revealed a deprecated warning
* remove the automatic resizing feature of operator =
* add function Matrix::set() to be used when the previous
behavior is wanted
* the default constructor of dynamic-size matrices now
creates a "null" matrix (data=0, rows = cols = 0)
instead of a 1x1 matrix
* fix UnixX typos ;)
* rename Cholesky to LLT
* rename CholeskyWithoutSquareRoot to LDLT
* rename MatrixBase::cholesky() to llt()
* rename MatrixBase::choleskyNoSqrt() to ldlt()
* make {LLT,LDLT}::solve() API consistent with other modules
Note that we are going to keep a source compatibility untill the next beta release.
E.g., the "old" Cholesky* classes, etc are still available for some time.
To be clear, Eigen beta2 should be (hopefully) source compatible with beta1,
and so beta2 will contain all the deprecated API of beta1. Those features marked
as deprecated will be removed in beta3 (or in the final 2.0 if there is no beta 3 !).
Also includes various updated in sparse Cholesky.
few bits left of the comma and for floating-point types will never return zero.
This replaces the custom functions in test/main.h, so one does not anymore need
to think about that when writing tests.
* bugfix in Dot unroller
* added special random generator for the unit tests and reduced the tolerance threshold by an order of magnitude
this fixes issues with sum.cpp but other tests still failed sometimes, this have to be carefully checked...
Renamed "MatrixBase::extract() const" to "MatrixBase::part() const"
* Renamed static functions identity, zero, ones, random with an upper case
first letter: Identity, Zero, Ones and Random.
* added complete implementation of sparse matrix product
(with a little glue in Eigen/Core)
* added an exhaustive bench of sparse products including GMM++ and MTL4
=> Eigen outperforms in all transposed/density configurations !
