// This macro shows several ways to invert a matrix . Each  method
// is a trade-off between accuracy of the inversion and speed.
// Which method to chose depends on "how well-behaved" the matrix is.
// This is best checked through a call to Condition(), available in each
// decomposition class. A second possibilty (less preferred) would be to
// check the determinant
//

//  1. InvertFast(Double_t *det=0)
//   It is identical to Invert() for sizes > 6 x 6 but for smaller sizes, the
//   inversion is performed according to Cramer's rule by explicitly calculating
//   all Jacobi's sub-determinants . For instance for a 6 x 6 matrix this means:
//    # of 5 x 5 determinant : 36 
//    # of 4 x 4 determinant : 75 
//    # of 3 x 3 determinant : 80 
//    # of 2 x 2 determinant : 45    (see TMatrixD/FCramerInv.cxx)
//
//    The only "quality" control in this process is to check whether the 6 x 6
//    determinant is unequal 0 . But speed gains are significant compared to Invert() ,
//    upto an order of magnitude for sizes <= 4 x 4
//
//    The inversion is done "in place", so the original matrix will be overwritten
//    If a pointer to a Double_t is supplied the determinant is calculated
//

// 2. Invert(Double_t *det=0)
//   Again the inversion is performed in place .
//   It consists out of a sequence of calls to the decomposition classes . For instance
//   for the general dense matrix TMatrixD the LU decomposition is invoked:
//    - The matrix is decomposed using a scheme according to Crout which involves
//      "implicit partial pivoting", see for instance Num. Recip. (we have also available
//      a decomposition scheme that does not the scaling and is therefore even slightly
//      faster but less stable)
//      With each decomposition, a tolerance has to be specified . If this tolerance
//      requirement is not met, the matrix is regarded as being singular. The value
//      passed to this decomposition, is the data member fTol of the matrix . Its
//      default value is DBL_EPSILON, which is defined as the smallest nuber so that
//      1+DBL_EPSILON > 1
//    - The last step is a standard forward/backward substitution .
//
//   It is important to realize that both InvertFast() and Invert() are "one-shot" deals , speed
//   comes at a price . If something goes wrong because the matrix is (near) singular, you have
//   overwritten your original matrix and  no factorization is available anymore to get more
//   information like condition number or change the tolerance number .
//
//   All other calls in the matrix classes involving inversion like the ones with the "smart"
//   constructors (kInverted,kInvMult...) use this inversion method .
//

// 3. Inversion through LU decomposition
//   The (default) algorithms used are similar to 2. (Not identical because in 2, the whole
//   calculation is done "in-place". Here the orginal matrix is copied (so more memory
//   management => slower) and several operations can be performed without having to repeat
//   the decomposition step .
//   Inverting a matrix is nothing else than solving a set of equations where the rhs is given
//   by the unit matrix, so the steps to take are identical to those solving a linear equation :
//

  cout << "3. Use TDecompLU" <<endl;

  // Any operation that requires a decomposition will trigger it . The class keeps
  // an internal state so that following operations will not perform the decomposition again
  // unless the matrix is changed through SetMatrix(..)
  // One might want to proceed more cautiously by invoking first Decompose() and check its
  // return value before proceeding....

  cout << "  Maximum off-diagonal = " << U3_max_offdiag << endl;
  cout << "  Determinant          = " << det3 <<endl;

// 4. Inversion through SVD decomposition
//   For SVD and QRH, the (n x m) matrix does only have to fulfill n >=m . In case n > m
//   a pseudo-inverse is calculated
