Method Detail

solveEquation

public short[] solveEquation(short[][] B,
                             short[] b)

This function finds a solution of the equation Bx = b. Exception is thrown if the linear equation system has no solution

Parameters:

B - this matrix is the left part of the equation (B in the equation above)

b - the right part of the equation (b in the equation above)

Returns:

x the solution of the equation if it is solvable null otherwise

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - if LES is not solvable

inverse

public short[][] inverse(short[][] coef)

This function computes the inverse of a given matrix using the Gauss- Elimination method.

An exception is thrown if the matrix has no inverse

Parameters:

coef - the matrix which inverse matrix is needed

Returns:

inverse matrix of the input matrix. If the matrix is singular, null is returned.

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - if the given matrix is not invertible

multiplyMatrix

public short[][] multiplyMatrix(short[][] M1,
                                short[][] M2)
                         throws java.lang.RuntimeException

This function multiplies two given matrices. If the given matrices cannot be multiplied due to different sizes, an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

M1 - -the 1st matrix

M2 - -the 2nd matrix

Returns:

A = M1*M2

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - in case the given matrices cannot be multiplied due to different dimensions.

multiplyMatrix

public short[] multiplyMatrix(short[][] M1,
                              short[] m)
                       throws java.lang.RuntimeException

This function multiplies a given matrix with a one-dimensional array.

An exception is thrown, if the number of columns in the matrix and the number of rows in the one-dim. array differ.

Parameters:

M1 - the matrix to be multiplied

m - the one-dimensional array to be multiplied

Returns:

M1*m

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - in case of dimension inconsistency

addVect

public short[] addVect(short[] vector1,
                       short[] vector2)
