Container Concepts

Vector

Description

A Vector describes common aspects of dense, packed and sparse vectors.

Refinement of

DefaultConstructible, Vector Expression [1].

Associated types

In addition to the types defined by Vector Expression

Public base	vector_container<V>	V must be derived from this public base type.
Storage array	V::array_type	Dense Vector ONLY. The type of underlying storage array used to store the elements. The array_type must model the Storage concept.

Notation

`V`	A type that is a model of Vector
`v`	Objects of type `V`
`n, i`	Objects of a type convertible to `size_type`
`t`	Object of a type convertible to `value_type`
`p`	Object of a type convertible to `bool`

Definitions

Valid expressions

In addition to the expressions defined in DefaultConstructible, Vector Expression the following expressions must be valid.

Name	Expression	Type requirements	Return type
Sizing constructor	`V v (n)`		`V`
Insert	`v.insert_element (i, t)`	`v` is mutable.	`void`
Erase	`v.erase_element (i)`	`v` is mutable.	`void`
Clear	`v.clear ()`	`v` is mutable.	`void`
Resize	`v.resize (n)` `v.resize (n, p)`	`v` is mutable.	`void`
Storage	`v.data()`	`v` is mutable and Dense.	`array_type&` if a is mutable, `const array_type&` otherwise

Expression semantics

Semantics of an expression is defined only where it differs from, or is not defined in Vector Expression .

Name	Expression	Precondition	Semantics	Postcondition
Sizing constructor	`V v (n)`	`n >= 0`	Allocates a vector of`n` elements.	`v.size () == n`.
Element access [2]	`v[n]`	`0<n>v.size()`	returns the n-th element in v
Insert	`v.insert_element (i, t)`	`0 <= i < v.size ()`.	Inserts an element at `v (i)` with value `t`. The storage requirement of the Vector may be increased.	`v (i)` is equal to `t`.
Erase	`v.erase_element (i)`	`0 <= i < v.size ()`	Destroys the element as `v (i)` and replaces it with the default `value_type ()`. The storage requirement of the Vector may be decreased.	`v (i)` is equal to `value_type ()`.
Clear	`v.clear ()`		Equivalent to `for (i = 0; i < v.size (); ++ i)` `v.erase_element (i);`
Resize	`v.resize (n) v.resize (n, p)`		Reallocates the vector so that it can hold `n` elements. Erases or appends elements in order to bring the vector to the prescribed size. Appended elements copies of `value_type()`. When `p == false` then existing elements are not preserved and elements will not appended as normal. Instead the vector is in the same state as that after an equivalent sizing constructor.	`v.size () == n`.
Storage	`v.data()`		Returns a reference to the underlying dense storage.

Complexity guarantees

The run-time complexity of the sizing constructor is linear in the vector's size.

The run-time complexity of insert_element and erase_element is specific for the Vector model and it depends on increases/decreases in storage requirements.

The run-time complexity of resize is linear in the vector's size.

Invariants

Models

vector, bounded_vector, c_vector
unit_vector, zero_vector, scalar_vector
mapped_vector;, compressed_vector, coordinate_vector

Notes

[1] As a user you need not care about Vector being a refinement of the VectorExpression. Being a refinement of the VectorExpression is only important for the template-expression engine but not the user.

[2] The operator[] is added purely for convenience and compatibility with the std::vector. In uBLAS however, generally operator() is used for indexing because this can be used for both vectors and matrices.

Matrix

Description

A Matrix describes common aspects of dense, packed and sparse matrices.

Refinement of

DefaultConstructible, Matrix Expression [1] .

Associated types

In addition to the types defined by Matrix Expression

Public base	matrix_container<M>	M must be derived from this public base type.
Storage array	M::array_type	Dense Matrix ONLY. The type of underlying storage array used to store the elements. The array_type must model the Storage concept.

Notation

`M`	A type that is a model of Matrix
`m`	Objects of type `M`
`n1, n2, i, j`	Objects of a type convertible to `size_type`
`t`	Object of a type convertible to `value_type`
`p`	Object of a type convertible to `bool`

Definitions

Valid expressions

In addition to the expressions defined in Matrix Expression the following expressions must be valid.

Name	Expression	Type requirements	Return type
Sizing constructor	`M m (n1, n2)`		`M`
Insert	`m.insert_element (i, j, t)`	`m` is mutable.	`void`
Erase	`m.erase_element (i, j)`	`m` is mutable.	`void`
Clear	`m.clear ()`	`m` is mutable.	`void`
Resize	`m.resize (n1, n2)` `m.resize (n1, n2, p)`	`m` is mutable.	`void`
Storage	`m.data()`	`m` is mutable and Dense.	`array_type&` if a is mutable, `const array_type&` otherwise

Expression semantics

Semantics of an expression is defined only where it differs from, or is not defined in Matrix Expression .

Name	Expression	Precondition	Semantics	Postcondition
Sizing constructor	`M m (n1, n2)`	`n1 >= 0` and `n2 >= 0`	Allocates a matrix of `n1` rows and `n2` columns.	`m.size1 () == n1` and `m.size2 () == n2`.
Insert	`m.insert_element (i, j, t)`	`0 <= i < m.size1 ()`, `0 <= j < m.size2 ()`.	Inserts an element at `m (i, j)` with value `t`. The storage requirement of the Matrix may be increased.	`m (i, j)` is equal to `t`.
Erase	`m.erase_element (i, j)`	`0 <= i < m.size1 ()`and `0 <= j < m.size2`	Destroys the element as `m (i, j)` and replaces it with the default `value_type ()`. The storage requirement of the Matrix may be decreased.	`m (i, j)` is equal to `value_type ()`.
Clear	`m.clear ()`		Equivalent to `for (i = 0; i < m.size1 (); ++ i)` `for (j = 0; j < m.size2 (); ++ j)` `m.erase_element (i, j);`
Resize	`m.resize (n1, n2) m.resize (n1, n2, p)`		Reallocate the matrix so that it can hold `n1` rows and `n2` columns. Erases or appends elements in order to bring the matrix to the prescribed size. Appended elements are `value_type()` copies. When `p == false` then existing elements are not preserved and elements will not appended as normal. Instead the matrix is in the same state as that after an equivalent sizing constructor.	`m.size1 () == n1` and `m.size2 () == n2`.
Storage	`m.data()`		Returns a reference to the underlying dense storage.

Complexity guarantees

The run-time complexity of the sizing constructor is quadratic in the matrix's size.

The run-time complexity of insert_element and erase_element is specific for the Matrix model and it depends on increases/decreases in storage requirements.

The run-time complexity of resize is quadratic in the matrix's size.
