.. _det_manip:
Manipulations of determinants
=============================
.. warning::
This library is stable, but documentation is currently being written
and needs a serious rereading and cleaning
The purpose of this little class is to regroup standard block manipulations on determinant, used in several algorithms.
Given a function :math:`F(x,y)`, and two sets of values :math:`x_i,y_i \ 0\leq i < N`,
we can define the :math:`N\times N` square matrix
.. math::
M_{i,j} = F(x_i,y_j)
When adding/removing a line and column (i.e. a value of x, y),
:math:`M^{-1}` and :math:`det M` can be fast updated using standard block matrix computations.
This class implements these general operations. It contains :
* Datas :
* :math:`M^{-1}` and :math:`det M`
* a vector containing :math:`x_i,y_i \ 0\leq i \leq N`
* Methods to quickly update :math:`M^{-1}` and :math:`\det M` when one :
* adds/removes a line and a column (i.e. adding or removing one x and one y)
* adds/removes two lines and two columns (i.e. adding or removing two x and two y)
* changes a line/colum, etc...
