In this page, we give a quick summary of the main operations available for sparse matrices in the class SparseMatrix. First, it is recommended to read  the introductory tutorial at \ref TutorialSparse. The important point to have in mind when working on sparse matrices is how they are stored : 
i.e either row major or column major. The default is column major. Most arithmetic operations on sparse matrices will assert that they have the same storage order. 

\section SparseMatrixInit Sparse Matrix Initialization
<table class="manual">
<tr><th> Category </th> <th> Operations</th> <th>Notes</th></tr>
<tr><td>Constructor</td>
<td>
\code
  SparseMatrix<double> sm1(1000,1000); 
  SparseMatrix<std::complex<double>,RowMajor> sm2;
\endcode
</td> <td> Default is ColMajor</td> </tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td> Resize/Reserve</td>
<td> 
 \code
    sm1.resize(m,n);      //Change sm1 to a m x n matrix. 
    sm1.reserve(nnz);     // Allocate room for nnz nonzeros elements.   
  \endcode 
</td>
<td> Note that when calling reserve(), it is not required that nnz is the exact number of nonzero elements in the final matrix. However, an exact estimation will avoid multiple reallocations during the insertion phase. </td>
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> Assignment </td>
<td> 
\code 
  SparseMatrix<double,Colmajor> sm1;
 // Initialize sm2 with sm1.
  SparseMatrix<double,Rowmajor> sm2(sm1), sm3;        
  // Assignment and evaluations modify the storage order.
  sm3 = sm1; 
 \endcode
</td>
<td> The copy constructor can be used to convert from a storage order to another</td>
</tr>

<td> Element-wise Insertion</td>
<td>
\code 
// Insert a new element; 
 sm1.insert(i, j) = v_ij;  

// Update the value v_ij
 sm1.coeffRef(i,j) = v_ij;
 sm1.coeffRef(i,j) += v_ij;
 sm1.coeffRef(i,j) -= v_ij;
\endcode

<td> insert() assumes that the element does not already exist; otherwise, use coeffRef()</td>

\section SparseBasicInfos Matrix properties
Beyond the basic functions rows() and cols(), there are some useful functions that are available to easily get some informations from the matrix. 
<table class="manual">
<tr>
  <td> \code
  sm1.rows();         // Number of rows
  sm1.cols();         // Number of columns 
  sm1.nonZeros();     // Number of non zero values   
  sm1.outerSize();    // Number of columns (resp. rows) for a column major (resp. row major )
  sm1.innerSize();    // Number of rows (resp. columns) for a row major (resp. column major)
  sm1.norm();         // Euclidian norm of the matrix
  sm1.squaredNorm();  // Squared norm of the matrix
  sm1.blueNorm();
  sm1.isVector();     // Check if sm1 is a sparse vector or a sparse matrix
  sm1.isCompressed(); // Check if sm1 is in compressed form
  ...
  \endcode </td>
</tr>
</table>

\section SparseBasicOps Arithmetic operations
It is easy to perform arithmetic operations on sparse matrices provided that the dimensions are adequate and that the matrices have the same storage order. Note that the evaluation can always be done in a matrix with a different storage order. In the following, \b sm denotes a sparse matrix, \b dm a dense matrix and \b dv a dense vector.
<table class="manual">
<tr><th> Operations </th> <th> Code </th> <th> Notes </th></tr>

<tr>
  <td> add subtract </td> 
  <td> \code
  sm3 = sm1 + sm2; 
  sm3 = sm1 - sm2;
  sm2 += sm1; 
  sm2 -= sm1; \endcode
  </td>
  <td> 
  sm1 and sm2 should have the same storage order
