Hi,
exactly, I want to reuse an existing DenseMatrix to avoid having to allocate
memory. The use case is that I want to check for convergence within a loop:
DenseMatrix newMatrix = new DenseMatrix(initialMatrix);
while(!converged)
{
// do computation on newMatrix
converged = checkConvergence(initialMatrix, newMatrix);
// now copy newMatrix to initialMatrix
initialMatrix.assign(newMatrix);
}
I could do this using clone, but this would result in memory allocation for
each time the loop is invoked, simply overwriting the matrix would probably
be faster.
I hope this clears things up :)
