Use the SymmetricMatrix class to represent dense matrices whose elements are symmetrical about the main diagonal. Symmetric matrices are always square.

The components of a SymmetricMatrix are stored in a one-dimensional array of Double values. Thanks to the symmetry, only the upper or lower-triangular portion needs to be stored.

Symmetric matrices can be constructed from scratch, or they can be derived or extracted from the upper or lower triangular portion of a GeneralMatrix using one of the Extract(GeneralMatrix, Int32, Int32, Int32, MatrixTriangleMode, Boolean) methods.

The SymmetricMatrix class implements algorithms using the symmetric matrix BLAS and LAPACK routines. Symmetric matrices are always stored in column-major order.
