isposdef!
isposdef!(A) -> Bool
Test whether a matrix is positive definite, overwriting A in the processes.
Examples
julia> A = [1 2; 2 5];
julia> isposdef!(A)
trueThis example checks if the matrix A is positive definite using the isposdef! function. The function overwrites A in the process and returns true if the matrix is positive definite.
julia> B = [1 2; 2 0];
julia> isposdef!(B)
falseIn this example, the function returns false because the matrix B is not positive definite.
Common mistake example:
julia> C = [1 2; 2 3];
julia> isposdef!(C)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching isposdef!(::Array{Int64,2})The isposdef! function can only be applied to matrices, not arrays. It's important to pass a matrix as an argument to the function.
