Phil Steitz updated MATH-581:
-----------------------------

    Affects Version/s:     (was: 3.0)
                           (was: Nightly Builds)
        Fix Version/s: 3.0

I think we should try to find a way to get a simple version of this in 3.0; but 
would be OK pushing out to 3.1.  Setting at 3.0 for now.

> Dear all,
> this issue has already been discussed on the forum. The idea is to implement 
> the most popular linear iterative solvers (CG, SYMMLQ, etc...) in 
> commons-math. The beauty of these solvers is that they do not need direct 
> access to the coefficients of the matrix, only matrix-vector products are 
> necessary. This is goof, as sometimes it is inetficient to store the 
> coefficients of the matrix.
> So basically, before implementing the iterative solvers, we need to define an 
> interface slightly more general than a matrix, namely LinearOperator, with 
> only one basic operation: matrix-vector product.
> Here are a few interfaces and abstract classes that do that. Nothing fancy 
> yet, I just wanted to have you advice on the implementation before I commit 
> some solvers.
> I thought these classes could go in a package 
> org.apache.commons.math.linearoperator, but really, I haven't got a clue...
> Best regards,
> Sebastien
