Class Zchol

java.lang.Object

Jampack.Zchol

public class Zchol
extends Object

Zchol implements the Cholesky decomposition of a positive definite matrix. Specifically if A is (Hermitian) positive definite then there is an upper triangular matrix R with positive diagonal elements such that

     A = R^H R

The matrix R is implemented as a Zutmat.

Constructor Detail

Zchol

public Zchol(Zmat A)
      throws JampackException

Constructs a Zchol from a Zmat A. The matrix that is actually decomposed is taken from the upper triangle of $A$ and the imaginary part of its diagonal is set to zero. Throws a JampackException for inconsistent dimensions on failure of the algorithm to complete.

Parameters:

A - The matrix whose Cholesky decomposition is to be computed.

Throws:

JampackException - Thrown if A is not square or Hermitian.
Thrown if the doecomposition does not exist.
