sparse_matrix_variable_block_create_float(_:_:_:_:)

Declaration

func sparse_matrix_variable_block_create_float(_ Mb: sparse_dimension, _ Nb: sparse_dimension, _ K: UnsafePointer<sparse_dimension>!, _ L: UnsafePointer<sparse_dimension>!) -> sparse_matrix_float!

Parameters

• Mb:

  The number of rows in terms of blocks of the matrix. Must be greater than 0.

• Nb:

  The number of columns in terms of blocks of the matrix. Must be greater than 0.

• K:

  Array containing row dimensions of the blocks. The i’th row in terms of blocks will have a dimension K[i]. K is expected to hold Mb elements. All values of K are expected to be greater than 0.

• L:

  Array containing column dimensions of the blocks. The j’th column in terms of blocks will have a dimension L[j]. L is expected to hold Nb elements. All values of L are expected to be greater than 0.

Return Value

A matrix object that is ready for receiving entries. If an error occurs, nil is returned.

Discussion

Create a sparse matrix object that is stored in block-entry format and is ready to receive values from the various block insert routines. Blocks are are of variable dimension where the i,j’th block index has a dimension K[i] * L[j]. Block-entry format means blocks of dense regions will be stored at block indices i,j. For point wise format use non block version of create. See the various insert routines for details on inserting values into this matrix object.
