| Version | Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3.0 | TBD | TBD |
| 2.2 | 2011-03-02 | This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements. Users of version 2.1 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.2, as this release includes some important bug fixes. See the detailed list of changes below for full description of all bug fixes and enhancements. This release contains some minor compatibility breaks with version 2.1 in some internal classes but none of them are in APIs likely to be accessed by user code: the MessagesResources_fr class has been removed (replaced by a properties file); the arguments of the EventState.reinitializeBegin method have changed; some protected fields which already had public accessors in AbstractStepInterpolator have been replaced. There is a behavior change that users of the multiple regression classes should be aware of. In version 2.1, there was no way to estimate models without intercept terms, and, while this was not clear from the documentation, design (X) matrices needed to include initial unitary columns. In 2.2, initial unitary columns are not necessary and whether or not models include intercept terms is configurable. See the change log and javadoc for the classes in org.apache.commons.math.stat.regression for details. The major new features are: a new FastMath class, both faster, more accurate and with a few additional functions than StrictMath and Math; a new package for floating point arbitrary precision computing, including high level functions like exponential, sine, square root ...; new linear and tricubic interpolators; a new Gaussian curve fitter; a new erfc function; characteristic support for distributions; a set of new Well Equidistributed Long-period Linear (WELL) random generators. |
| 2.1 | 2010-04-02 | This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements. Users of version 2.0 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.1, as this release includes some important bug fixes. See the detailed list of changes below for full description of all bug fixes and enhancements. This release contains some minor API compatibility breaks with version 2.0: the return type of RealVector.copy() has been changed to AbstractRealVector; the no-argument constructor of MatrixUtils() has been made private; the mapXxxToSelf methods of OpenMapRealVector have been removed and some method return types have been changed in this class; new methods have been added to the RealVector interface; several fields in AdaptiveStepSizeIntegrator have been made final; DummyStepInterpolator requires an additional argument for one of its constructors; some protected fields have been removed from AbstractLeastSquaresOptimizer, AbstractScalarDifferentiableOptimizer and AbstractLinearOptimizer; and the isOptimal(SimplexTableau) method has been removed from SimplexSolver. |
| 2.0 | 2009-08-03 | This is a major release. It combines bug fixes, new features and changes to existing features. Most notable among the new features are: decomposition algorithms in the linear algebra package (LU, QR, Cholesky, SVD, eigen decomposition) which are based on the popular JAMA API (but much faster); support for sparse matrices and vectors; support for any field-based matrix (Complex, Fraction ...); support for genetic algorithms; several new optimization algorithms (Dantzig's simplex for linear constrained problems, conjugate gradient, Brent); support for curve fitting with special cases for harmonic and polynomial functions; support for state derivative in ODE step handlers; new multistep integrators (Adams-Bashforth and Adams-Moulton) with variable stepsize; regression algorithms; rank transformations; Mersenne twister pseudo random number generator. This release is NOT source and binary compatible with earlier versions of Commons Math. Starting with version 2.0 of the library, the minimal version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math is Java 5. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, as in addition to new features, this release includes numerous bug fixes. Users of Commons Math 1.0-1.2 should recompile their code against the 2.0 jar. Most of the compilation errors users will encounter after the switch will be due to classes moved due to package reorganization. These errors are simply solved by adjusting the import statements in users code. |
| 1.2 | 2008-02-24 | This release combines bug fixes and new features. Most notable among the new features are the estimation, optimization, geometry and ode packages added from the Mantissa library. Implementations of fast Fourier transform, QR decomposition and several numerical integration algorithms have also been added, along with enhancements and extensions to packages included in Commons Math 1.1. This release is source and binary compatible with earlier versions of Commons Math. |
| 1.1 | 2005-12-17 | This is a maintenance release containing bug fixes and enhancements. All API changes are binary compatible with version 1.0. The enhancements include some new probability distributions, a Fraction class, new matrix and numerical utilities, and a PRNG pluggability framework making it possible to replace the JDK-supplied random number generator in Commons Math (and elsewhere) with alternative PRNG implementations. |

| Enabled reseeding of the random generators used by EmpiricalDistributionImpl and ValueServer. Modified ValueServer to pass its RandomData instance to the EmpiricalDistributionImpl that it creates when used in DIGEST_MODE, so reseeding ValueServer works as expected. Fixes MATH-654. | psteitz |
| Renamed "AbstractRealVector" to "RealVector". The interface was removed in favour of its unique (abstract) implementation. Also removed several methods with double[] arguments from AbstractRealVector. Fixes MATH-653. | erans |

| Added a few linearCombination utility methods in MathUtils to compute accurately linear combinations a1.b1 + a2.b2 + ... + an.bn taking great care to compensate for cancellation effects. This both improves and simplify several methods in euclidean geometry classes, including linear constructors, dot product and cross product. | luc |

| Added a few shortcut methods and predicates to Dfp (abs, isZero, negativeOrNull, strictlyNegative, positiveOrNull, strictlyPositive). | luc |
| "AbstractRealMatrix" inherits from "RealLinearOperator". Fixes MATH-633. Thanks to Sébastien Brisard. | erans |
| Linear combination of vectors: "RealVector" interface updated, implemented in "AbstractRealVector" and "ArrayRealVector". Fixes MATH-613. Thanks to Sébastien Brisard. | erans |
| Slightly more efficient implementation of basic operations in "ArrayRealVector". Fixes MATH-623. Thanks to Arne Plöse. | erans |

| Rewritten SVD decomposition based on JAMA code. Fixes MATH-327,MATH-383,MATH-465,MATH-583,MATH-611. Thanks to Christopher Nix. | luc |
| Complex add javadoc says that if either addend has NaN parts, the result should be Complex.NaN. Prior to the fix for this issue, NaNs were propagated only in real and imaginary parts individually. Fixes MATH-618. Thanks to Arne Plose. | psteitz |
| Framework for iterative linear solvers. Fixes MATH-581. Thanks to Sébastien Brisard. | erans |
| Improved efficiency in RandomDataImpl, LaguerreSolver, FastMath and OutlineExtractor by moving conditional code into blocks where it is needed. Fixes MATH-609. Thanks to Dave Brosius. | psteitz |
| Prevent step normalizer to output twice the last point in MULTIPLES mode. Fixes MATH-603. Thanks to Dennis Hendriks. | luc |
| Removed the requiresDenseOutput method from the StepHandler interface. Now integrators always consider dense output is required and set up the appropriate state interpolators, so step handlers can rely on them. Fixes MATH-596,MATH-604. | luc |
| Modified "SecantSolver" to comply with the original algorithm. Added several secant-based solvers. Added a way to select the side of the root with bracketing solvers. Fixes MATH-599. Thanks to Dennis Hendriks. | erans |

| Allow outer product of vectors of different sizes. Fixes MATH-574. | erans |
| A complete generic implementation of Binary Space Partitioning Trees (BSP trees) has been added. A few specializations of this implementation are also provided for 1D, 2D and 3D Euclidean geometry. This allows support for arbitrary intervals sets (1D), polygons sets (2D) and polyhedrons sets (3D) with all sets operations (union, intersection, symmetric difference, difference, complement), with predicates (point inside/outside/on boundary, emptiness, other region contained), with geometrical computation (barycenter, size, boundary size) and with conversions from and to boundary representation. Fixes MATH-576. | luc |
| Avoid some array copying in add and subtract ArrayFieldVector. Fixes MATH-573. | luc |
| Fixed an unused constructor parameter in ArrayFieldVector. Fixes MATH-572. | luc |
| Created an "ExceptionContext" class: It provides the customization feature of "MathRuntimeException" without imposing a singly rooted hierarchy of the Comons Math exceptions. Thus, those exceptions now inherit from their Java standard counterparts (e.g. "MathIllegalArgumentException" inherits from "IllegalArgumentException"). Fixes MATH-566. | erans |
| Fixed conversion problems to/from 0 in Decimal Floating Point (Dfp) class. Fixes MATH-567. Thanks to Michel. | luc |
| Fixed initialization of multistep ODE integrators. Relying on the interpolation model of the starter integrator inside only one step was wrong. The model may have a too low order to compute high degrees derivatives in the Nordsieck vector. Now we use several steps and use only grid points instead of interpolated points. | luc |
| Added solve methods using double[][] to linear algebra decomposition solvers. Fixes MATH-564. | luc |
| Added an interpolator adapter for data with known period. Fixes MATH-562. | erans |
| Added a "rectangular" Cholesky decomposition for positive semidefinite matrices. Fixes MATH-541. | luc |
| Added setters allowing to change the step size control parameters of adaptive step size ODE integrators. Fixes MATH-563. | luc |

| Fixed two errors in simplex solver when entries are close together or when variables are not restricted to non-negative. Fixes MATH-434. Thanks to Thomas Neidhart. | luc |
| Improved robustness of k-means++ algorithm, by tracking changes in points assignments to clusters. Fixes MATH-547. Thanks to Thomas Neidhart. | luc |
| Changed MathUtils.round(double,int,int) to propagate rather than wrap runtime exceptions. Instead of MathRuntimeException, this method now throws IllegalArgumentException or ArithmeticException under the conditions specified in the javadoc. Fixes MATH-555. | psteitz |
| Reduced cancellation errors in Vector3D.crossProduct Fixes MATH-554. | luc |
| Fixed bug in "MultidimensionalCounter". Fixes MATH-552. Thanks to James Bence. | erans |
| All unit tests have been converted to Junit 4. They need at least Junit 4.5 to run (the ant and maven build systems are currently set to use Junit 4.8.2) Fixes MATH-423. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski. | luc |
| Removed the ConvergingAlgorithm interface and ConvergingAlgorithmImpl class Fixes MATH-500. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski. | luc |

| Added two sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution using modified Marsaglia et al. (2003) implementation and quick decisions for certain parameter areas according to Simard et al. (2011). Fixes MATH-437. | mikl |
| Added "power" method in "RealMatrix" and "FieldMatrix<T>" interfaces and their default implementations in "AbstractRealMatrix" and "AbstractFieldMatrix". Fixes MATH-435. | mikl |
| Added "cosine" method in "RealVector" interface and default implementation in "AbstractRealVector". Fixes MATH-545. | erans |
| Fixed bug in "KMeansPlusPlusClusterer". Fixes MATH-546. Thanks to Nate Paymer. | erans |
| All exceptions defined in Commons Math provide a context and a compound message list. Fixes MATH-542. | erans |
| Refactored "PolynomialFitter" (in package "optimization.fitting"). Added parametric function in "PolynomialFunction" (in package "analysis.polynomials"). Fixes MATH-534. | erans |
| Removed "HarmonicFunction" (in package "optimization.fitting"); superseded by class "HarmonicOscillator" (in package "analysis.function"). Fixes MATH-518. | erans |
| Refactored "HarmonicFitter" (in package "optimization.fitting"). "HarmonicCoefficientsGuesser" removed. Fixes MATH-517. | erans |
| Removed "GaussianFunction" and "GaussianDerivativeFunction" (in package "optimization.fitting"); functionality moved to class "Gaussian" (in package "analysis.function"). Fixes MATH-516. | erans |
| Removed "ParametricGaussianFunction" (in package "optimization.fitting"); functionality moved to class "Gaussian" (in package "analysis.function"). Fixes MATH-514. | erans |
| Refactored "GaussianFitter" (in package "optimization.fitting"). The class now really fits a Gaussian function (whereas previously it was fitting the sum of a constant and a Gaussian). Fixes MATH-512. Thanks to Ole Ersoy. | erans |
| Implementation of the CMA-ES optimization algorithm. Fixes MATH-442. Thanks to Dietmar Wolz. | erans |
| The interface "ParametricRealFunction" (in package "optimization.fitting") has been renamed to "ParametricUnivariateRealFunction" and moved to package "analysis". Fixes MATH-513. | erans |
| TestUtils is thread-hostile. Remove getters and setters, and make static variables final. Fixes MATH-505. | sebb |
| Create FastMath copySign methods Fixes MATH-496. | sebb |
| FastMath atan2 does not agree with StrictMath for special cases Fixes MATH-494. | sebb |

| FastMath acos fails when input abs value is less than about 5.7851920321187236E-300 - returns NaN Fixes MATH-489. | sebb |
| FastMath toRadian and toDegree don't handle large double numbers well Fixes MATH-486. | sebb |
| FastMath does not handle all special cases correctly Fixes MATH-483. | sebb |
| Fix ulp(Infinity) to return Infinity rather than NaN Fixes MATH-480. | sebb |
| FastMath.signum(-0.0) does not agree with Math.signum(-0.0) Fixes MATH-479. | sebb |
| FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) Add signum(float), ulp(float) Fixes MATH-478. | sebb |
| FastMath.max(50.0f, -50.0f) => -50.0f; should be +50.0f Fixed FastMath.max(float, float) so it returns correct value. Fixes MATH-482. | sebb |
| MATH-491 MathUtils.equals(double, double) does not work properly for floats - add equivalent (float, float) methods and basic tests Fixes MATH-471. | sebb |
| Removed "MathException" from the "throws" clause of the "interpolate" method of the interpolators interfaces (package "analysis.interpolation"). Fixes MATH-458. | erans |
| In order to comply with the new runtime exceptions policy, the classes "RealVectorFormat", "ComplexFormat", "Vector3DFormat" and "CompositeFormat" do not inherit anymore from the Java standard "Format" class. Failed parsing will result in the throwing of a "MathParseException". "CompositeFormat" is now a utility class ("private" constructor). Fixes MATH-461. | erans |
| By policy, all Commons Math exceptions must inherit from class "MathRuntimeException". Fixes MATH-447. | erans |
| For optimizers (package "optimization"), the number of allowed function evaluations is passed as a parameter to the "optimize" method. Fixes MATH-454. | erans |
| For solvers (package "analysis.solvers"), the number of allowed function evaluations is passed as a parameter to the "solve" method. Fixes MATH-451. | erans |
| Created a "MathRuntimeException" to serve as a base class for exception types that need to wrap another (lower-level) exception. Fixes MATH-447. | erans |
| Replaced "ComposableFunction" and "BinaryFunction" (in package "analysis") by a set of utilities in the new class "FunctionUtils" together with independent function objects in the new "analysis.function" package. Removed redundant "mapXxx" and "mapXxxToSelf" methods in "RealVector" and "AbstractRealVector" (in package "linear"). Fixes MATH-430. | erans |
| Refactoring of the "analysis.solvers" package. Fixes MATH-439. | erans |
| Removed the ode.jacobians package. Fixes MATH-380. | luc |
| Removed classes "FunctionEvaluationException", "MatrixVisitorException" and "DerivativeException" (superseded by the new "MathUserException"). Fixes MATH-440. | erans |
| Created a generic "Pair" class to replace the "AbstractMap.SimpleEntry" that is only available in Java 6 and later. Fixes MATH-432. | erans |
| Class "DirectSearchOptimizer" (and subclasses "NelderMead" and "MultiDirectional") was refactored into new classes: "SimplexOptimizer" and "AbstractSimplex" (and subclasses "NelderMeadSimplex" and "MultiDirectionalSimplex"). The old classes were deprecated and removed. Fixes MATH-428. | erans |
| Created "MatrixDimensionMismatchException" to replace "InvalidMatrixException" (when the latter is used to signal that matrices are not compatible for some operation). Replaced "MatrixIndexException" with "OutOfRangeException" (when the former is used to signal a row or column dimension mismatch). Fixes MATH-425. | erans |
| Made "sample" methods part of the "IntegerDistribution" and "ContinuousDistribution" interfaces. Fixes MATH-310. | erans |
| All distribution classes (in package "distribution") are immutable. Fixes MATH-349. | erans |
| Created an unchecked "FunctionEvaluationException". Modified the "UnivariateRealFunction" interface: Removed the checked "FunctionEvaluationException" from the signature of the "value" method. Fixes MATH-195. | erans |
| Modified semantics: "equals" methods now consider that NaNs are not equal (compliant with IEEE754). Also, two adjacent floating point numbers are considered equal (this is consistent with the fact that all real numbers between them can be represented by either of the two). One consequence of that is that "equals" is not transitive. Fixes MATH-370. | erans |
| Removed methods referring to the concept of "iteration". Removed interface methods to access the number of evaluations of the gradient and Jacobian. Added new "Incrementor" utility to be used as a bounded counter for objective function evaluations. Removed all references to "OptimizationException" (replaced by "ConvergenceException"). Fixes MATH-397. | erans |
| Modified "AbstractUnivariateRealOptimizer" to make it more similar to "BaseAbstractScalarOptimizer". Added utility methods in "ConvergingAlgorithmImpl". Fixes MATH-397. | erans |
| Refactoring of some classes in package "optimization.general" to remove code duplication and to allow the implementation of optimization algorithms that do not use derivatives. Created interface "BaseMultivariateRealOptimizer". Created classes "BaseAbstractScalarOptimizer" and "AbstractScalarOptimizer". "MultivariateRealOptimizer" and "DifferentiableMultivariateRealOptimizer" both extend "BaseMultivariateRealOptimizer". "AbstractScalarOptimizer" extends "BaseAbstractScalarOptimizer" and "AbstractScalarDifferentiableOptimizer" inherits from "AbstractScalarOptimizer". Fixes MATH-389. | erans |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) added scalb(double, int), scalb(float, int) Fixes MATH-498. | luc |
| FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) added hypot(double, double), nextAfter(double, double) and nextAfter(float,double) (beware of the strange double second argument) so that they handle special values in the way as StrictMath Fixes MATH-478. | luc |
| FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) added getExponent(double) and getExponent(float) Fixes MATH-497. | luc |
| FastMath is not an exact replacement for StrictMath (partially fixed) Add copySign(double), copySign(float) Fixes MATH-496. | sebb |
| separate discrete event detection from adaptive step size handling in ODE solvers, thus improving robustness, maintainability and speed Fixes MATH-484. | luc |
| Fixed an awkward statement that triggered a false positive warning. Fixes MATH-467. | luc |
| Added complementary error function, erfc. Fixes MATH-364. Thanks to Christian Winter. | psteitz |
| Modified erf (and erfc) to return extreme values for x with abs(x) > 40. For these arguments, the true value is indistinguishable from an extrema as a double. Fixes MATH-456. | psteitz |
| Added characteristic support to distributions, including methods to return numerical estimates of the mean and variance and upper and lower bounds of support. In version 2.2, methods returning distribution characteristics have been added only to the implementation classes. In version 3, supporting methods have been added to the abstract base classes and distribution interfaces. Fixes MATH-385. | mikkel |
| Added a constructor and addValues(double[]) methods allowing DescriptiveStatistics to be initialized with values from a double[] array. Similarly enhanced ResizeableDoubleArray. Fixes MATH-384. | mikkel |
| Added a getUniqueCount() method to Frequency to return the number of unique values included in the frequency table. Fixes MATH-448. Thanks to Patrick Meyer. | psteitz |
| Modified NormalDistributionImpl.cumulativeProbability to return 0 or 1, respectively for values more than 40 standard deviations from the mean. For these values, the actual probability is indistinguishable from 0 or 1 as a double. Top coding improves performance for extreme values and prevents convergence exceptions. Fixes MATH-414. | psteitz |
| Added toString() override to StatisticalSummaryValues. Fixes MATH-420. | psteitz |
| Deprecated the whole ode.jacobians package. It is clumsy and difficult to use. It will be replaced by a completely rewritten implementation in 3.0, which will be more tightly bound to the top level ode package Fixes MATH-380. | luc |
| Added a normalization feature to transform samples so they have zero mean and unit standard deviation Fixes MATH-426. Thanks to Erik van Ingen. | luc |
| Created "MathUserException" class to convey cause of failure between layers of user code separated by a layer of Commons Math code. Deprecated classes "FunctionEvaluationException", "MatrixVisitorException" and "DerivativeException". Fixes MATH-440. | erans |
| Fixed k-means++ to add several strategies to deal with empty clusters that may appear during iterations. Fixes MATH-429. | luc |
| Improved Percentile performance by using a selection algorithm instead of a complete sort, and by allowing caching data array and pivots when several different percentiles are desired. Fixes MATH-417. | luc |
| Fixed an error preventing zero length vectors to be built by some constructors. Fixes MATH-391. | luc |
| Fixed an error preventing ODE solvers to be restarted after they have been stopped by a discrete event. Fixes MATH-421. | luc |
| Added new random number generators from the Well Equidistributed Long-period Linear (WELL). Fixes MATH-419. | luc |
| Made intercept / no intercept configurable in multiple regression classes. By default, regression models are estimated with an intercept term. When the "noIntercept" property is set to true, regression models are estimated without intercepts. Fixes MATH-409. | psteitz |
| Fixed lost cause in MathRuntimeException.createInternalError. Note that the message is still the default message for internal errors asking to report a bug to Commons Math JIRA tracker. In order to retrieve the message from the root cause, one has to get the cause itself by getCause(). Fixes MATH-415. | luc |
| Modified multiple regression newSample methods to ensure that by default in all cases, regression models are estimated with intercept terms. Prior to the fix for this issue, newXSampleData(double[][]), newSampleData(double[], double[][]) and newSampleData(double[], double[][], double[][]) all required columns of "1's" to be inserted into the x[][] arrays to create a model with an intercept term; while newSampleData(double[], int, int) created a model including an intercept term without requiring the unitary column. All methods have been changed to eliminate the need for users to add unitary columns to specify regression models. Users of OLSMultipleLinearRegression or GLSMultipleLinearRegression versions 2.0 or 2.1 should either verify that their code either does not use the first set of data loading methods above or set the noIntercept property on estimated models to get the previous behavior. Fixes MATH-411. | psteitz |
| Added the dfp library providing arbitrary precision floating point computation in the spirit of IEEE 854-1987 (not exactly as it uses base 1000 instead of base 10). In addition to finite numbers, infinities and NaNs are available (but there are no subnormals). All IEEE 854-1987 rounding modes and signaling flags are supported. The available operations are +, -, *, / and the available functions are sqrt, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, exp, log. Fixes MATH-412. Thanks to Bill Rossi. | luc |
| Added faster and more accurate version of traditional mathematical functions in a FastMath class intended to be a drop-in replacement for java.util.Math at source-level. Some functions still directly delegates to Math but this will improve with time. Some functions like exp may be twice as fast (even 3 times faster on some processors). Sine, cosine or power functions show typical speedups of 1.5 times faster or more. Fixes MATH-375. Thanks to Bill Rossi. | luc |

These methods previously returned estimates of the variance in the model error term. New "calulateErrorVariance" methods have been added to compute what was previously returned by calculateYVariance.

This allows wrapping ODE solvers into optimization or root finding algorithms, which in turn can be used to solve Boundary Value Problems (BVP). There are no implementations (yet) of BVP solvers in the library. | luc |

| Added JAMA-like interfaces for eigen/singular problems. The implementation are based on the very quick dqd/dqds algorithms and some parts of the MRRR algorithm. This leads to very fast and accurate solutions. Fixes MATH-220. | luc |
| Added JAMA-like interfaces for decomposition algorithms. These interfaces decompose a matrix as a product of several other matrices with predefined properties and shapes depending on the algorithm. These algorithms allow to solve the equation A * X = B, either for an exact linear solution (LU-decomposition, Cholesky decomposition) or an exact or least-squares solution (QR-decomposition). Fixes MATH-220. | luc |
| Added removeData methods for the SimpleRegression class. This allows to support regression calculations across a sliding window of (time-based) observations without having to recalculate for the entire window every time. Fixes MATH-219. Thanks to Andrew Berry. | luc |

| Changed OLS regression implementation added in MATH-203 to use QR decomposition to solve the normal equations. Fixes MATH-217. | psteitz |
| New ODE integrators have been added: the explicit Adams-Bashforth and implicit Adams-Moulton multistep methods. As the implementations of these methods are based on Nordsieck vector rather than a traditional array of previous steps, they both have been improved to handle adaptive stepsize. These methods provide the same rich features has the existing ones: continuous output, step handlers, discrete events, G-stop ... | luc |
| Replaced size adjustment of all steps of fixed steps Runge-Kutta integrators by a truncation of the last step only. Fixes MATH-214. | luc |
| The ODE integrators now support several step handlers at once, instead of just one. This is more consistent with event handlers management. The setStepHandler method has therefore been replaced by addStephandler, the getStepHandler method has been replaced by getStepHandlers which returns a Collection and a clearStepHandlers method has been added. | luc |
| All ODE integrators now support setting a maximal number of evaluations of differential equations function. If this number is exceeded, an exception will be thrown during integration. This can be used to prevent infinite loops if for example error control or discrete events create a really large number of extremely small steps. | luc |
| All step interpolators for ODE integrators now provide interpolation for both the state and its time derivatives. The interpolated derivatives are the exact derivatives of the interpolated state, thus preserving consistency. The general step handlers hence do not need to call the derivation function anymore. The fixed step handlers also get the time derivative of the state as an additional argument along with the state when they are called. | luc |
| Changed return type for FirstOrderIntegrator.integrate() to double in order to retrieve exact stop time. This allows to handle properly integration interruption due to an EventHandler instance asking to stop the integration when its associated event is triggered. The state was already set to the current state at interruption time, but it was difficult to get the corresponding time (it involved setting a step handler monitoring the last step specially). Fixes MATH-213. | luc |
| Events handlers in the ODE package now also provide the switching function variation (increasing/decreasing) when an event occurs | luc |
| Clarified the ODE package by breaking in into several sub-packages and renaming classes (SwitchingFunctions/EventHandler, SwitchingFunctionsHandler/CombinedEventsManager) | luc |
| Changed return type for FirstOrderIntegrator.getSwitchingFunctions() to a collection of SwitchingFunction instances. This better suits the intended use of the method and fixes a visibility error since the previous return type referenced the package private SwitchState class. Fixes MATH-210. | luc |
| Fixed dimension error on output vector for the operate method in RealMatrixImpl and BigMatrixImpl classes. Fixes MATH-209. Thanks to Thomas Chust. | luc |
| The FirstOrderDifferentialEquations, FirstOrderIntegrator and FixedStepHandler interfaces now extends Serializable, allowing integrators, problems and handlers to be embedded into users Serializable classes. | luc |
| Added several convenience methods and constants for Vector3D and Rotation. | luc |
| Replaced public no argument constructors with IDENTITY or ZERO static instances for immutable classes Vector3D and Rotation. | luc |
| Fixed inconsistencies in the naming scheme for static fields in Vector3D and Rotation with respect to the overall library. | luc |
| Greatly improved RealMatrixImpl and BigMatrixImpl performances, both in terms of speed and in terms of temporary memory footprint. | luc |
| Added Mauro's patch to support multiple regression. Fixes MATH-203. Thanks to Mauro Talevi. | luc |
| Starting with version 2.0 of the library, the minimal version of the Java platform required to compile and use Commons Math is Java 5. This version is widely deployed now on many systems. It brings new important features for specific mathematical developments, for example new functions (log10, cbrt, ulp, signum, cosh, sinh, tanh, hypot, expm1, log1p), autoboxing, MathContext or RoundingMode. It also brings important features for general development, for example enums, generics or annotations. | luc |
| Switching functions can now throw dedicated SwitchException from all their method. At upper call level, the various ODE integrators handle these new exceptions and wrap them into IntegratorException instances, hence the integrators methods signature did not change. | luc |
| Added the getSwitchingFunctions and clearSwitchingFunctions to the FirstOrderIntegrator interface and all its implementations Fixes MATH-202. | luc |
| Removed deprecated features. This includes the following changes. Factory-based instantiation replaced by setter injection in 1.2 in several classes have been removed. Protected fields in matrices implementations have been declared final and private. Identity factory methods moved to MatrixUtils class have been removed.
