TMtx::DetectMtxType Method

Determines type of the matrix.

Tests the calling matrix and returns the TMtxType of the calling of matrix. The following types are supported:

• TMtxType::mtSymmPosDef = symmetric positive definite matrix
• TMtxType::mtSymmetric = symmetric matrix
• TMtxType::mtHermPosDef = Hermitian positve definite matrix
• TMtxType::mtHermitian = Hermitian matrix
• TMtxType::mtTriangle = triangular matrix, with unit or non unit main diagonal
• TMtxType::mtGeneral = general matrix (none of the above)

Checking for positive definite matrix can be very expensive (O(n) = 1/3*n^3). Therefore the ChekPosDef parameter is False by default, unless the user specifies otherwise. The method will not detect banded matrix storage.
