isTriangular(M)
returns a logical
indicating
if M
is a triangular matrix. Analogously,
isDiagonal(M)
is true iff M
is a diagonal matrix.
Contrary to isSymmetric()
, these two functions are
generically from package Matrix, and hence also define methods
for traditional (class
"matrix"
) matrices.
By our definition, triangular, diagonal and symmetric matrices are all square, i.e. have the same number of rows and columns.
