Detailed Description

Parse a Matrix Market banner line.

Author

Mark Hoemmen The "Matrix Market" (NIST) defines a standard human-readable ASCII file format of the same name. Matrix Market files may store dense or sparse matrices, with entries of types real, complex, integer, or pattern (no values, just the graph).

The first line of a Matrix Market - format file, the "banner line," contains information for interpreting the rest of the file. This class parses the first line, canonicalizes the information therein, and stores it for later use.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Teuchos::MatrixMarket::Banner::Banner	(	const std::string &	line,
		const bool	tolerant = false
	)

Constructor

Parameters

line	[in] The banner line to parse
tolerant	[in] Whether to parse tolerantly. If false, we adhere strictly to the Matrix Market standard. If true, we allow all kinds of divergence therefrom (including an entirely empty banner line, for which we fill in some sensible defaults).

Member Function Documentation

const std::string& Teuchos::MatrixMarket::Banner::objectType ( ) const

inline

The object type.

The Matrix Market format specifies the "type of object" stored in the file. In the current version of the standard, the object type is always "matrix" (without the quotes). The standard leaves open the possibility of other types in future versions of the standard.

const std::string& Teuchos::MatrixMarket::Banner::matrixType ( ) const

inline

Storage type of the matrix.

"coordinate" means a sparse matrix, stored as (i,j,Aij) triples with one-based indices i and j. "array" means a dense matrix, stored in column-major order with one entry per line.

Definition at line 93 of file Teuchos_MatrixMarket_Banner.hpp.

const std::string& Teuchos::MatrixMarket::Banner::dataType ( ) const

inline

Data type of matrix entries.

Data type of the matrix entries: "real", "complex", "integer", or "pattern".

Definition at line 99 of file Teuchos_MatrixMarket_Banner.hpp.

const std::string& Teuchos::MatrixMarket::Banner::symmType ( ) const

inline

Symmetric storage type.

Describes whether and how symmetry is exploited when storing the matrix. "general" means nonsymmetric: all the matrix entries are stored. "symmetric", "skew-symmetric", and "hermitian" have their usual mathematical meaning, and also mean that only the upper or lower triangle (including the diagonal) of the matrix is stored. There's no way to tell from the banner whether the upper or lower triangle is stored; you have to examine the matrix entries.

Note

An error condition is possible for sparse matrices (matrixType() == "coordinate"): If only the upper or lower triangle is supposed to be there, and entries from both the upper and lower triangle are stored, the resulting matrix is undefined. Users of this class may choose to interpret this case as they wish. Besides simply reporting an error, one reasonable possibility is to treat every A(i,j) value as an indication to add that value (or its conjugate in the Hermitian case, or its negative in the skew-symmetric case) to the current value of A(j,i).
