//  Declarations/template-bodies for sparse matrix class SpMat
//
//  SpMat.h
//
//  Implements bare-bones sparse matrix class. 
//  Main considerations has been efficiency when constructing
//  from Compressed Column format, when multiplying with vector,
//  transposing and multiplying with a vector and when concatenating.
//  Other operations which have not been prioritised such as 
//  for example inserting elements in a random order may be
//  a bit slow.

// Class SpMat:
// Interface includes:
// Multiplication with scalar:  A*=s, B=s*A, B=A*s, A and B SpMat
// Multiplication with vector:  b=A*x, A SpMat, b and x ColumnVector
// Transpose and mul with vector: b=A.trans_mult(x), A SpMat, b and x ColumnVector
// Multiplication with sparse matrix: C=A*B, A, B and C SpMat
// Addition with sparse matrix: A+=B, C=A+B, A, B and C SpMat
// Horisontal concatenation: A|=B, C=A|B, A, B and C SpMat
// Vertical concatenation: A&=B, C=A&B, A, B and C SpMat
//
// Multiplications and addition with NEWMAT matrices are
// accomplished through type-conversions. For example
// A = B*SpMat(C), A and B SpMat, C NEWMAT
// A = B.AsNewmat()*C, B SpMat, A and C NEWMAT
//
// Important implementation detail:
// _nz or .NZ() isn't strictly speaking the # of non-zero elements,
// but rather the number of elements that has an explicit 
// representation, where that representation may in principle
// be 0. This is in contrast to e.g. Matlab which chooses
// not to represent an element when its value is zero. I have
// chosen this variant because of my main use of the class where 
// it is very convenient if e.g. my Hessian and the Gibbs form
// of membrane energy has the same sparsity pattern.
// For most users this is of no consequence and they will 
// never explicitly represent a zero.

// Class Preconditioner:
//
// I haven't used conditioner for close to 20 years now, so writing
// this class was a special treat for me. A preconditioner is used
// to render the coefficient-matrix corresponding to some set of
// linear equations better conditioned. A concrete example would be
// when some set of columns/rows have a different scale than the 
// others, resulting in poor convergence of for example a conjugate
// gradient search. The simplest form of preconditioner might then 
// be inv(diag(A)), where A is the original matrix. It simply scales
// the columns of A with the inverse of the diagonal elements. This
// simple conditioning works fine when A is diagonal domninant, which
// i typically the case with e.g. Hessians in spatial normalisation.
// If not, a more sophisticated version like incomplete Cholesky
// decomposition might be needed.
// As of yet only diagonal preconditioners have been implemented.
