EigenvalueDecomposition<T>.GetDeterminant Method

Calculates the determinant of the decomposed matrix.

Definition

Namespace: Extreme.Mathematics.LinearAlgebra
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics (in Extreme.Numerics.dll) Version: 8.1.23
C#
public override T GetDeterminant()

Return Value

T
The determinant of the matrix.

Remarks

A system of simultaneous linear equations has a unique solution if its determinant is not equal to zero.

Determinants are only defined for square matrices. If the matrix is not square, an exception of type DimensionMismatchException is thrown.

For an eigenvalue decomposition the magnitude of the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues.

Exceptions

DimensionMismatchExceptionThe matrix is not square.
