Identify the matrix type or mark a matrix as a particular type.
 
This allows more rapid solutions of linear equations involving @var{A} to be
performed.
 
Called with a single argument, @code{matrix_type} returns the type of the
matrix and caches it for future use.
 
Called with more than one argument, @code{matrix_type} allows the type of
the matrix to be defined.
 
If the option @qcode{"nocompute"} is given, the function will not attempt
to guess the type if it is still unknown.  This is useful for debugging
purposes.
 
The possible matrix types depend on whether the matrix is full or sparse,
and can be one of the following
 
@table @asis
@item @qcode{"unknown"}
Remove any previously cached matrix type, and mark type as unknown.
 
@item @qcode{"full"}
Mark the matrix as full.
 
@item @qcode{"positive definite"}
Probable full positive definite matrix.
 
@item @qcode{"diagonal"}
Diagonal matrix.  (Sparse matrices only)
 
@item @qcode{"permuted diagonal"}
Permuted Diagonal matrix.  The permutation does not need to be specifically
indicated, as the structure of the matrix explicitly gives this.  (Sparse
matrices only)
 
@item @qcode{"upper"}
Upper triangular.  If the optional third argument @var{perm} is given, the
matrix is assumed to be a permuted upper triangular with the permutations
defined by the vector @var{perm}.
 
@item @qcode{"lower"}
Lower triangular.  If the optional third argument @var{perm} is given, the
matrix is assumed to be a permuted lower triangular with the permutations
defined by the vector @var{perm}.
 
@item  @qcode{"banded"}
@itemx @qcode{"banded positive definite"}
Banded matrix with the band size of @var{nl} below the diagonal and @var{nu}
above it.  If @var{nl} and @var{nu} are 1, then the matrix is tridiagonal
and treated with specialized code.  In addition the matrix can be marked as
probably a positive definite.  (Sparse matrices only)
 
@item @qcode{"singular"}
The matrix is assumed to be singular and will be treated with a minimum norm
solution.
 
@end table
 
Note that the matrix type will be discovered automatically on the first
attempt to solve a linear equation involving @var{A}.  Therefore
@code{matrix_type} is only useful to give Octave hints of the matrix type.
Incorrectly defining the matrix type will result in incorrect results from
solutions of linear equations; it is entirely @strong{the responsibility of
the user} to correctly identify the matrix type.
 
Also, the test for positive definiteness is a low-cost test for a Hermitian
matrix with a real positive diagonal.  This does not guarantee that the
matrix is positive definite, but only that it is a probable candidate.  When
such a matrix is factorized, a Cholesky@tie{}factorization is first
attempted, and if that fails the matrix is then treated with an
LU@tie{}factorization.  Once the matrix has been factorized,
@code{matrix_type} will return the correct classification of the matrix.
