                                                           F element)

Returns a sparse vector having a single element at the specified index.

Parameters:

dimension - this vector dimension.

zero - the element representing zero.

i - the index value of this vector single element.

element - the element at the specified index.

Returns:

the corresponding vector.

public static <F extends Field<F>> SparseVector<F> valueOf(int dimension,
                                                           F zero,
                                                           java.util.Map<javolution.util.Index,F> elements)

Returns a sparse vector from the specified index to element mapping.

Parameters:

dimension - this vector dimension.

zero - the element representing zero.

elements - the index to element mapping.

Returns:

the corresponding vector.

valueOf

public static <F extends Field<F>> SparseVector<F> valueOf(Vector<F> that,
                                                           F zero)

Returns a sparse vector equivalent to the specified vector but with the zero elements removed removed using a default object equality comparator.

Parameters:

that - the vector to convert.

zero - the zero element for the sparse vector to return.

Returns:

SparseVector.valueOf(that, zero, FastComparator.DEFAULT)

valueOf

public static <F extends Field<F>> SparseVector<F> valueOf(Vector<F> that,
                                                           F zero,
