 TMatrixTSparse                                                       
                                                                      
 Template class of a general sparse matrix in the Harwell-Boeing      
 format                                                               
                                                                      
 Besides the usual shape/size decsriptors of a matrix like fNrows,    
 fRowLwb,fNcols and fColLwb, we also store a row index, fRowIndex and 
 column index, fColIndex only for those elements unequal zero:        
                                                                      
 fRowIndex[0,..,fNrows]:    Stores for each row the index range of    
                            the elements in the data and column array 
 fColIndex[0,..,fNelems-1]: Stores the column number for each data    
                            element != 0                              
                                                                      
 As an example how to access all sparse data elements:                
                                                                      
 for (Int_t irow = 0; irow < this->fNrows; irow++) {                  
   const Int_t sIndex = fRowIndex[irow];                              
   const Int_t eIndex = fRowIndex[irow+1];                            
   for (Int_t index = sIndex; index < eIndex; index++) {              
     const Int_t icol = fColIndex[index];                             
     const Element data = fElements[index];                           
     printf("data(%d,%d) = %.4e\n",irow+this->fRowLwb,icol+           
                                               this->fColLwb,data);   
   }                                                                  
 }                                                                    
                                                                      
 When checking whether sparse matrices are compatible (like in an     
 assigment !), not only the shape parameters are compared but also    
 the sparse structure through fRowIndex and fColIndex .               
                                                                      
 Several methods exist to fill a sparse matrix with data entries.     
 Most are the same like for dense matrices but some care has to be    
 taken with regard to performance. In the constructor, always the     
 shape of the matrix has to be specified in some form . Data can be   
 entered through the following methods :                              
 1. constructor                                                       
    TMatrixTSparse(Int_t row_lwb,Int_t row_upb,Int_t col_lwb,         
                   Int_t col_upb,Int_t nr_nonzeros,                   
                   Int_t *row, Int_t *col,Element *data);            
    It uses SetMatrixArray(..), see below                             
 2. copy constructors                                                 
 3. SetMatrixArray(Int_t nr,Int_t *irow,Int_t *icol,Element *data)   
    where it is expected that the irow,icol and data array contain    
    nr entries . Only the entries with non-zero data[i] value are     
    inserted !                                                        
 4. TMatrixTSparse a(n,m); for(....) { a(i,j) = ....                  
    This is a very flexible method but expensive :                    
    - if no entry for slot (i,j) is found in the sparse index table   
      it will be entered, which involves some memory management !     
    - before invoking this method in a loop it is smart to first      
      set the index table through a call to SetSparseIndex(..)        
 5. SetSub(Int_t row_lwb,Int_t col_lwb,const TMatrixTBase &source)    
    the matrix to be inserted at position (row_lwb,col_lwb) can be    
    both dense or sparse .
