Detailed Description

Many standard arithmetic operations only depend upon a linear operator providing the mapping between vectors, e.g. iterativ solvers. Instead of requiring a full matrix and hence the need for an implementation of the full matrix algebra, an object of type TLinearOperator is fully sufficient in such cases.

◆ apply()

virtual void apply	(	const TVector *	x,
		TVector *	y,
		const matop_t	op = `apply_normal`
	)		const

pure virtual

mapping function of linear operator \(A\), e.g. \( y := A(x)\). Depending on op, either \(A\), \(A^T\) or \(A^H\) is applied.

Implemented in TMatrix, TGaussSeidel, TFacInvMatrix, TSOR, TJacobi, TPermMatrix, TMatrixSum< N, T_value >, TMatrixProduct< N, T_value >, and TNearfieldMulVec.

◆ apply_add()

virtual void apply_add	(	const real	alpha,
		const TVector *	x,
		TVector *	y,
		const matop_t	op = `apply_normal`
	)		const
