Position in a vector of linear independent values

Description

Returns the position of the [i,j]th element of a symmetric n \times n matrix that this element has in a vector of the linear independent values of the matrix.

Usage

veclipos( i, j, n )

Arguments

i

row of the element in the matrix.

j

column of the element in the matrix.

n

dimension of the matrix.

Note

A symmetric n \times n matrix has n*(n+1)/2 independent values.
The function is: n*(n-1)/2-((n-min(i,j))*(n-min(i,j)+1)/2)+max(i,j)
