Bug 1538

Summary: BDCSVD missing from sections of docs

Component: SVDAssignee: Nobody <eigen.nobody>

Description Mark Gates 2018-04-07 13:26:14 UTC
These dox sections (and possibly others) discuss using the Jacobi SVD, but do not mention using the BDC SVD, making it possible for people to be unaware of the Eigen implementation of BDC SVD.

http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__TutorialLinearAlgebra.html
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__TopicLinearAlgebraDecompositions.html
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__LeastSquares.html

The benchmark and SVD module do list both.

Comment 1 Gael Guennebaud 2018-04-11 09:34:33 UTC
Thank you for pointing those shortcomings. Fixed:

https://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/commits/7c1f43154983/   (default)
https://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/commits/fc300140fa66/   (3.3)

The documentation now recommends the use of BDCSVD.
