Orthogonalize()

Orthogonalizes the specified matrix.

public void Orthogonalize()

Remarks

Orthogonalization is the process of making all rows orthogonal to each other. This means that any given row in the matrix will be orthogonal to any other given row in the matrix.

Because this method uses the modified Gram-Schmidt process, the resulting matrix tends to be numerically unstable. The numeric stability decreases according to the rows so that the first row is the most stable and the last row is the least stable.

This operation is performed on the rows of the matrix rather than the columns. If you wish for this operation to be performed on the columns, first transpose the input and than transpose the output.

Parameters

src float*

The SRC.

columns int

The columns.

rows int

The rows.

UpperTriangularForm(Matrix)

Brings the matrix into upper triangular form using elementry row operations.

public static Matrix UpperTriangularForm(Matrix value)

Parameters

value Matrix

The matrix to put into upper triangular form.

Returns

Matrix

The upper triangular matrix.

Remarks

If the matrix is not invertable (i.e. its determinant is zero) than the result of this method may produce Single.Nan and Single.Inf values. When the matrix represents a system of linear equations, than this often means that either no solution exists or an infinite number of solutions exist.

UpperTriangularForm(ref readonly Matrix, out Matrix)

Brings the matrix into upper triangular form using elementry row operations.

public static void UpperTriangularForm(ref readonly Matrix value, out Matrix result)

Parameters

value Matrix

The matrix to put into upper triangular form.

result Matrix

When the method completes, contains the upper triangular matrix.

Remarks

If the matrix is not invertable (i.e. its determinant is zero) than the result of this method may produce Single.Nan and Single.Inf values. When the matrix represents a system of linear equations, than this often means that either no solution exists or an infinite number of solutions exist.
