BandMatrix<T>.ToGeneralBandMatrix Method

public BandMatrix<T> ToGeneralBandMatrix()

Public Function ToGeneralBandMatrix As BandMatrix(Of T)

public:
BandMatrix<T>^ ToGeneralBandMatrix()

member ToGeneralBandMatrix : unit -> BandMatrix<'T> 

Return Value

The method converts a symmetric band matrix into a general band matrix. Only the components on and above the main diagonal of a symmetric band matrix are stored. This method constructs a band matrix that also stores the components below the main diagonal.

public BandMatrix<T> ToGeneralBandMatrix(
	bool allocateForLUDecomposition
)

Public Function ToGeneralBandMatrix ( 
	allocateForLUDecomposition As Boolean
) As BandMatrix(Of T)

public:
BandMatrix<T>^ ToGeneralBandMatrix(
	bool allocateForLUDecomposition
)

member ToGeneralBandMatrix : 
        allocateForLUDecomposition : bool -> BandMatrix<'T> 

Parameters

allocateForLUDecomposition  Boolean

A Boolean that indicates whether to allocate extra storage for a subsequent LU decomposition.

Return Value

This method has two primary uses. The first is to convert a symmetric band matrix into a general band matrix. Only the components on and above the main diagonal of a symmetric band matrix are stored. This method constructs a band matrix that also stores the components below the main diagonal.

The second use is to create a matrix suitable for computing an LU decomposition. The upper triangular part of an LU decomposition has a larger bandwidth than the original matrix. In order to calculate the LU decomposition, sufficient space must be allocated for these extra nonzero components.
