GOMatrixType

GOMatrixType

is an option which provides information about the structure of a matrix.

Details and Options

  • Typical settings for GOMatrixType are:
  • "General"the matrix is a general matrix
    "Symmetric"the matrix is symmetric

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

First load the package:

Create asymmetric matrix:

The matrix is stored in compact form. All nonzero elements are stored.

Less information has to be stored, if the matrix is symmetric.

Create the full matrix from the compact form.

Only the lower triangle is given. The information that the matrix is symmetric is necessary going back to the full matrix.
