\b Notes:<ul><li><a name="note1">\b 1: </a>There exist two variants of the LDLT algorithm. Eigen's one produces a pure diagonal D matrix, and therefore it cannot handle indefinite matrices, unlike Lapack's one which produces a block diagonal D matrix.</li><li><a name="note2">\b 2: </a>Eigenvalues, SVD and Schur decompositions rely on iterative algorithms. Their convergence speed depends on how well the eigenvalues are separated.</li><li><a name="note3">\b 3: </a>Our JacobiSVD is two-sided, making for proven and optimal precision for square matrices. For non-square matrices, we have to use a QR preconditioner first. The default choice, ColPivHouseholderQR, is already very reliable, but if you want it to be proven, use FullPivHouseholderQR instead.</ul>
\section TopicLinAlgTerminology Terminology
<dl> <dt><b>Selfadjoint</b></dt> <dd>For a real matrix, selfadjoint is a synonym for symmetric. For a complex matrix, selfadjoint is a synonym for \em hermitian. More generally, a matrix \f$ A \f$ is selfadjoint if and only if it is equal to its adjoint \f$ A^* \f$. The adjoint is also called the \em conjugate \em transpose. </dd> <dt><b>Positive/negative definite</b></dt> <dd>A selfadjoint matrix \f$ A \f$ is positive definite if \f$ v^* A v > 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$. In the same vein, it is negative definite if \f$ v^* A v < 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$ </dd> <dt><b>Positive/negative semidefinite</b></dt> <dd>A selfadjoint matrix \f$ A \f$ is positive semi-definite if \f$ v^* A v \ge 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$. In the same vein, it is negative semi-definite if \f$ v^* A v \le 0 \f$ for any non zero vector \f$ v \f$ </dd>
<dt><b>Blocking</b></dt> <dd>Means the algorithm can work per block, whence guaranteeing a good scaling of the performance for large matrices.</dd> <dt><b>Implicit Multi Threading (MT)</b></dt> <dd>Means the algorithm can take advantage of multicore processors via OpenMP. "Implicit" means the algortihm itself is not parallelized, but that it relies on parallelized matrix-matrix product rountines.</dd> <dt><b>Explicit Multi Threading (MT)</b></dt> <dd>Means the algorithm is explicitely parallelized to take advantage of multicore processors via OpenMP.</dd> <dt><b>Meta-unroller</b></dt> <dd>Means the algorithm is automatically and explicitly unrolled for very small fixed size matrices.</dd> <dt><b></b></dt> <dd></dd></dl>
