[MATH] Eigen decomposition of matrices consisting of RealFieldElements
Hi,
The linear-package in commons-math contains a class that does an eigen
value decomposition of a RealMatrix. Would there be of interest to add a
similar class doing eigen value decomposition of a matrix consisting of
RealFieldElements?
I am happy to help if this is the case.
Best regards,
Martin Grotle Soukup

Indeed, I also think it would be nice to have the algorithms implemented
with RealFieldElements. I will take a further look at nabla.

OK, I will enhance my implementation, add appropriate unit tests and go
forward with a JIRA issue.

I think it is a good idea. In fact, I even think most of our algorithms
would be interesting to provided both with primitive doubles and with
RealFieldElements. I dream of a way to automatically convert from one
implementation to the other (Apache Commons Nabla is a step in this
direction, for DerivativeStructure only but it would be worth
generalizing it).
As Gilles often say, we are short of manpower, so we don't do this as a
general move. Ted's remark above is one of our decision driver: if there
is demand for it, it is worth doing it. So to sum up, the decision is a
case by case basis.
Going back to this specific case, I guess that if you propose to help on
this, you have your own use case. Then I would suggest to go for it. You
could open a JIRA issue for it, try to do the implementation and attach
your code to the issue so we pick it up there, review it, and include it
in the library.

I had the same question.
Presumably, it is a reasonable thing to have in the corner case of needing
eigenvalues for matrices with extended precision decimal numbers or some
such, but I would be very surprised if there measurably non-zero demand for
such a feature.

Hi,
Apologies for being impatient, but does someone think this is a good idea?
In case of the contrary I will not trouble this mailing list with this
request any further.
