# Math::MatrixReal

NxN Real Matrices in Perl

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/leto/math--matrixreal.png)](http://travis-ci.org/leto/math--matrixreal)

Report bugs and submit patches at http://github.com/leto/math--matrixreal

Perl version 5.003 or higher capable of "overloading" (overload.pm).

## What does it do:

### Math::MatrixReal - Matrix of Reals

Implements the data type "matrix of reals" (and consequently also

"vector of reals") which can be used almost like any other basic

Perl type thanks to OPERATOR OVERLOADING, i.e.,

    $A       = $matrix1 * $matrix2;

    $B       = $A ** 2;

    $C       = $A + 2*B;

    $D       = $C - $B/2;

    $inverse = $C ** -1;

    $inverse = 1/$C;

does what you would like it to do.

Also features many important operations and methods: matrix norm,

matrix transposition, matrix inverse, determinant of a matrix, order

and numerical condition of a matrix, scalar product of vectors, vector

product of vectors, vector length, projection of row and column vectors,

a comfortable way for reading in a matrix from a file, the keyboard or

your code, and many more.

Allows to solve linear equation systems using an efficient algorithm

known as "L-R-decomposition" and several approximative (iterative) methods.

Features an implementation of Kleene's algorithm to compute the minimal

costs for all paths in a graph with weighted edges (the "weights" being

the costs associated with each edge).

Allows to solve the eigensystem of a real symmetric matrix, using

Householder transformation and QL decomposition.

## Installation Instructions

Since Math::MatrixReal 2.03, Module::Build is used for the build process, but

a Makefile.PL is still generated for older installations. If you do not have

Module::Build, please read the OLD_README file.

The build and install Math::MatrixReal run the commands

    perl Build.PL

    ./Build

    ./Build test

    ./Build install
