/**
 * Implementation of {@link BigMatrix} using a BigDecimal[][] array to store entries
 * and <a href="http://www.math.gatech.edu/~bourbaki/math2601/Web-notes/2num.pdf">
 * LU decompostion</a> to support linear system
 * solution and inverse.
 * <p>
 * The LU decompostion is performed as needed, to support the following operations: <ul>
 * <li>solve</li>
 * <li>isSingular</li>
 * <li>getDeterminant</li>
 * <li>inverse</li> </ul></p>
 * <p>
* <strong>Usage notes</strong>:<br>
 * <ul><li>
 * The LU decomposition is stored and reused on subsequent calls.  If matrix
 * data are modified using any of the public setXxx methods, the saved
 * decomposition is discarded.  If data are modified via references to the
 * underlying array obtained using <code>getDataRef()</code>, then the stored
 * LU decomposition will not be discarded.  In this case, you need to
 * explicitly invoke <code>LUDecompose()</code> to recompute the decomposition
 * before using any of the methods above.</li>
 * <li>
 * As specified in the {@link BigMatrix} interface, matrix element indexing
 * is 0-based -- e.g., <code>getEntry(0, 0)</code>
 * returns the element in the first row, first column of the matrix.</li></ul></p>
 *
 * @deprecated as of 2.0, replaced by {@link Array2DRowFieldMatrix} with a {@link
 * agents.org.apache.commons.math.util.BigReal} parameter
 * @version $Revision: 1042376 $ $Date: 2010-12-05 16:54:55 +0100 (dim. 05 déc. 2010) $
