Quick Start

Basic Sparse Matrix Operations

use openalgebra::{
    sparse::{COOMatrix, SparseMatrix},
    solvers::{ConjugateGradient, IterativeSolver},
};

fn main() -> openalgebra::Result<()> {
    // Initialize the library
    openalgebra::init()?;
    
    // Create a sparse matrix in COO format
    let mut matrix = COOMatrix::<f64>::new(1000, 1000);
    
    // Build a tridiagonal matrix
    for i in 0..1000 {
        matrix.insert(i, i, 2.0)?;
        if i > 0 {
            matrix.insert(i, i-1, -1.0)?;
        }
        if i < 999 {
            matrix.insert(i, i+1, -1.0)?;
        }
    }
    
    // Convert to CSR format for efficient operations
    let csr_matrix = matrix.to_csr();
    
    // Solve linear system Ax = b
    let b = vec![1.0; 1000];
    let mut x = vec![0.0; 1000];
    
    let solver = ConjugateGradient::new();
    let info = solver.solve(&csr_matrix, &b, &mut x)?;
    
    println!("Converged in {} iterations with residual {:.2e}", 
             info.iterations, info.residual_norm);
    
    Ok(())
}

Tensor Operations

use openalgebra::tensor::{SparseTensor, DenseTensor, Tensor};

fn tensor_example() -> openalgebra::Result<()> {
    // Create a 3D sparse tensor
    let mut tensor = SparseTensor::<f64>::new(vec![100, 100, 100]);
    
    // Insert sparse values
    for i in 0..100 {
        tensor.insert(vec![i, i, i], i as f64)?;
    }
    
    // Access tensor elements
    let value = tensor.get(&[50, 50, 50])?;
    println!("Value at [50,50,50]: {:?}", value);
    
    // Create dense tensor from data
    let data = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0];
    let dense = DenseTensor::from_vec(vec![2, 2, 2], data)?;
    
    println!("Dense tensor shape: {:?}", dense.shape());
    
    Ok(())
}

AI-Guided Solver Selection

use openalgebra::{
    agents::{MathAgent, MathProblem, ProblemType},
    solvers::AdaptiveSolver,
};

async fn ai_solver_example() -> openalgebra::Result<()> {
    // Define the mathematical problem
    let problem = MathProblem {
        problem_type: ProblemType::LinearSystem,
        description: "Large sparse symmetric positive definite system".to_string(),
        matrix_size: Some((10000, 10000)),
        sparsity_pattern: Some("Tridiagonal".to_string()),
        constraints: vec!["Symmetric".to_string(), "Positive Definite".to_string()],
        objectives: vec!["Fast convergence".to_string(), "Memory efficient".to_string()],
    };
    
    // Create AI agent for analysis
    let agent = MathAgent::new("your-openai-api-key".to_string()).await?;
    
    // Get AI recommendations
    let analysis = agent.analyze_problem(&problem).await?;
    println!("AI Analysis: {}", analysis.analysis);
    
    // Use adaptive solver with AI guidance
    let mut adaptive_solver = AdaptiveSolver::new(agent);
    
    // The solver will automatically select the best algorithm
    // based on problem characteristics and AI recommendations
    
    Ok(())
}

Performance Benchmarks

OpenAlgebra is designed for high performance across various problem sizes:

Matrix Operations

• Small matrices (< 1K): Sub-millisecond operations
• Medium matrices (1K-100K): Optimized for memory bandwidth
• Large matrices (> 100K): Parallel and distributed processing

Solver Performance

• Conjugate Gradient: 2-5x faster than reference implementations
• GMRES: Optimized restart strategies and memory management
• BiCGSTAB: Improved numerical stability and convergence

Memory Usage

• Sparse storage: 50-90% memory reduction vs. dense formats
• Streaming operations: Constant memory usage for large problems
