qr-solve v0.1.0

qr-solveWIP

This module solves sparse linear systems, by finding the QR-decomposition, and then using it to solve the system. It is basically a Javascript port of Quern.

Install

npm install qr-solve

Example

var qrSolve = require('qr-solve')

/*
Below we specify the sparse matrix:

API

require("qr-solve").prepare(A, m, n)

Decomposes A into its QR-decomposition. A function is returned that can be used to solve the equation Ax = b, for some given value of b.

• A a list of the matrix coefficients of the sparse matrix A. These MUST be given in the order of increasing rows and columns numbers.
• m the number of rows in the matrix A
• n the number of columns in the matrix A

Returns A function that takes a first argument b, and a second argument x. The function put the solution to the equation Ax = b in the array x.

NOTE the module does no sanity checking on the input arguments. It is assumed that the user knows what he/she is doing!
