Gilles updated MATH-821:
------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.0
I guess that this will be automatically fixed when the sparse vector
implementation is deleted. :)
> SparseRealVectorTest.testMap and testMapToSelf fail because zero entries lose
> their sign
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-821
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-821
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Sébastien Brisard
> Labels: linear, sparse
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> Mapping {{Inverse}} to an {{OpenMapRealVector}} can lead to wrong answers,
> because {{1.0 / 0.0}} should return {{+/-Infinity}} depending on the sign of
> the zero entry. Since the sign is lost in {{OpenMapRealVector}}, the answer
> must be wrong if the entry is truly {{-0.0}}.
> This is a difficult bug, because it potentially affects any function passed
> to {{OpenMapRealVector.map()}} or {{mapToSelf()}}. I would recommend we relax
> the requirements in the unit tests of this class, and make people aware of
> the issue in the class documentation.
