AlgebraicStructureTraits

Definition

A model of AlgebraicStructureTraits reflects the algebraic structure of an associated type Type.

Depending on the concepts that Type fulfills, it contains various functors and descriptive tags. Moreover it gives access to the several possible algebraic operations within that structure.

Types

A model of AlgebraicStructureTraits is supposed to provide:

AlgebraicStructureTraits::Type
The associated type.


AlgebraicStructureTraits::Algebraic_category
Tag indicating the algebraic structure of the associated type.


Tag is: Type is model of:

CGAL::Null_tag no algebraic concept
CGAL::Integral_domain_without_division_tag IntegralDomainWithoutDivision
CGAL::Integral_domain_tag IntegralDomain
CGAL::Unique_factorization_domain_tag UniqueFactorizationDomain
CGAL::Euclidean_ring_tag EuclideanRing
CGAL::Field_tag Field
CGAL::Field_with_sqrt_tag FieldWithSqrt
CGAL::Field_with_kth_root_tag FieldWithKthRoot
CGAL::Field_with_root_of_tag FieldWithRootOf


AlgebraicStructureTraits::Is_exact
Tag indicating whether Type is exact.
This is either CGAL::Tag_true or CGAL::Tag_false.
An algebraic structure is considered exact, if all operations required by its concept are computed such that a comparison of two algebraic expressions is always correct. The exactness covers only those operations that are required by the algebraic structure concept.
e.g. an exact Field may have a Sqrt functor that is not exact.


AlgebraicStructureTraits::Is_numerical_sensitive
Tag indicating whether Type is numerical sensitive.
This is either CGAL::Tag_true or CGAL::Tag_false.
An algebraic structure is considered as numerically sensitive, if the performance of the type is sensitive to the condition number of an algorithm.


AlgebraicStructureTraits::Boolean
This type specifies the return type of the predicates provided by this traits. The type must be convertible to bool and typically the type indeed maps to bool. However, there are also cases such as interval arithmetic, in which it is Uncertain<bool> or some similar type.

Functors

In case a functor is not provided, it is set to CGAL::Null_functor.

AlgebraicStructureTraits::Is_zero
