factorPerpendicularColumns Method

Factor this matrix as a product VD * U where VD has mutually perpendicular columns and U is orthogonal.

factorPerpendicularColumns(matrixVD: Matrix3d, matrixU: Matrix3d): boolean

Parameter Type Description
matrixVD Matrix3d a matrix that its columns will be filled by rotating columns of this to make them mutually
perpendicular (allocated by caller, computed and filled by this function).
matrixU Matrix3d a matrix that its columns will be filled by the right eigenvectors of thisTranspose * this
(allocated by caller, computed and filled by this function). Note that columns of matrixU will be mutually
perpendicular because thisTranspose * this matrix is symmetric.

Returns - boolean
