Method Detail

solve

public static double[] solve(double[][] a,
             double[] b)

Solves a system of equations using Gaussian Elimination. In order to avoid overhead the algorithm runs in-place on A - if A should not be modified the client must supply a copy.

Parameters:

a - an nxn matrix in row/column order )modified by this method)

b - a vector of length n

Returns:

a vector containing the solution (if any) or null if the system has no or no unique solution

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the matrix is the wrong size
