> Dear all,
> this issue has already been discussed on the forum. The idea is to implement the most popular linear iterative solvers (CG, SYMMLQ, etc...) in commons-math. The beauty of these solvers is that they do not need direct access to the coefficients of the matrix, only matrix-vector products are necessary. This is goof, as sometimes it is inetficient to store the coefficients of the matrix.
> So basically, before implementing the iterative solvers, we need to define an interface slightly more general than a matrix, namely LinearOperator, with only one basic operation: matrix-vector product.
> Here are a few interfaces and abstract classes that do that. Nothing fancy yet, I just wanted to have you advice on the implementation before I commit some solvers.
> I thought these classes could go in a package org.apache.commons.math.linearoperator, but really, I haven't got a clue...
> Best regards,
> Sebastien
