[math] Thread safe RealVector
Hi,
What do you think of removing iterator(), Entry, and Iterator() from RealVector? ArrayRealVector can replace these with Vector...I think...Still need to attempt it. Vector is synchronized so it makes it easier to make ArrayRealVector thread safe.
Cheers,
Ole

We're in the same boat :). I've only half baked my thinking at this point, but java.util.Vector is synchronized, uses a 0 based index, and throws ConcurrentModificationException if it is modified while it is being iterated over, so it would provide thread safety for operations like add(RealVector v). It also provides a lot of the modification methods provided by RealVector like append, getSubVector, etc....Although they are named differently. But I think utilities that performs Matrix / Vector operations might be better(Thinking out loud). For example:
Vector.add(final double[] v1 , final double[] v2) {
//validate
//operate
//return brand new array.
}
That's thread safe without even trying :).
But anyways, please have a look at the long-standing issue on JIRA concerning

Will do.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-765
Just did. I think it's better to just skip the whole thing and separate the pieces into:
1) Structure:
One dimensional or two dimensional arrays
2) Structure Manipulation:
Manipulate one dimensional or two dimensional arrays
3) Operations (Like above Vector.add(), Matrix.add())
Cheers,
Ole

I don't follow at all.
But anyways, please have a look at the long-standing issue on JIRA
concerning
the refactoring of RealVector/RealMatrix.
A thing to consider that RealVector actually represents a 1-column or
1-row
matrix, and not a geometrical vector (or only a Cartesian vector).
