023/**
024 * Exception to be thrown when a symmetric, definite positive
025 * {@link RealLinearOperator} is expected.
026 * Since the coefficients of the matrix are not accessible, the most
027 * general definition is used to check that {@code A} is not positive
028 * definite, i.e.  there exists {@code x} such that {@code x' A x <= 0}.
029 * In the terminology of this exception, {@code A} is the "offending"
030 * linear operator and {@code x} the "offending" vector.
