| Equivalent to a call to `normal_equation_factor(A)` followed by a call to `normal_equation_solver(B,X)` .

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ normal_equation_factor()

bool NormalEquationSparseLinearAlgebraTraits_d::normal_equation_factor | ( | const Matrix & | A | ) |

Factorize the sparse matrix `At * A`.

This factorization is used in `normal_equation_solver()` to solve the system for different right-hand side vectors.

Returns
  `true` if the factorization is successful and `false` otherwise.

## ◆ normal_equation_solver()

bool NormalEquationSparseLinearAlgebraTraits_d::normal_equation_solver | ( | const Vector & | B,
|  | Vector & | X
| ) |  |

Solve the sparse linear system `At * A * X = At * B`, with `A` being the matrix provided in `#normal_equation_factor()`, and `At` its transpose matrix.

Returns
  `true` if the solver is successful and `false` otherwise.
