public interface ReducedRowEchelonForm<T extends Matrix64F>

An augmented system matrix is said to be in reduced row echelon form (RREF) if the following are true:

1. If a row has non-zero entries, then the first non-zero entry is 1. This is known as the leading one.
2. If a column contains a leading one then all other entries in that column are zero.
3. If a row contains a leading 1, then each row above contains a leading 1 further to the left.

Method Detail

reduce

void reduce(T A,
          int coefficientColumns)

Puts the augmented matrix into RREF. The coefficient matrix is stored in columns less than coefficientColumns.

Parameters:

A - Input: Augmented matrix. Output: RREF. Modified.

coefficientColumns - Number of coefficients in the system matrix.

setTolerance

void setTolerance(double tol)

Specifies tolerance for determining if the system is singular and it should stop processing. A reasonable value is: tol = EPS/max(||tol||).

Parameters:

tol - Tolerance for singular matrix. A reasonable value is: tol = EPS/max(||tol||). Or just set to zero.
