/// This macro shows several ways to invert a matrix . Each  method
/// is a trade-off between accuracy of the inversion and speed.
/// Which method to chose depends on "how well-behaved" the matrix is.
/// This is best checked through a call to Condition(), available in each
/// decomposition class. A second possibility (less preferred) would be to
/// check the determinant
///

   // ### 1. InvertFast(Double_t *det=0)
   // It is identical to Invert() for sizes > 6 x 6 but for smaller sizes, the
   // inversion is performed according to Cramer's rule by explicitly calculating
   // all Jacobi's sub-determinants . For instance for a 6 x 6 matrix this means:
   // \# of 5 x 5 determinant : 36
   // \# of 4 x 4 determinant : 75
   // \# of 3 x 3 determinant : 80
   // \# of 2 x 2 determinant : 45    (see TMatrixD/FCramerInv.cxx)
   //
   // The only "quality" control in this process is to check whether the 6 x 6
   // determinant is unequal 0 . But speed gains are significant compared to Invert() ,
   // up to an order of magnitude for sizes <= 4 x 4
   //
   // The inversion is done "in place", so the original matrix will be overwritten
   // If a pointer to a Double_t is supplied the determinant is calculated
   //

   // ### 2. Invert(Double_t *det=0)
   // Again the inversion is performed in place .
   // It consists out of a sequence of calls to the decomposition classes . For instance
   // for the general dense matrix TMatrixD the LU decomposition is invoked:
   // - The matrix is decomposed using a scheme according to Crout which involves
   //   "implicit partial pivoting", see for instance Num. Recip. (we have also available
   //    a decomposition scheme that does not the scaling and is therefore even slightly
   //    faster but less stable)
   //    With each decomposition, a tolerance has to be specified . If this tolerance
   //    requirement is not met, the matrix is regarded as being singular. The value
   //    passed to this decomposition, is the data member fTol of the matrix . Its
   //    default value is DBL_EPSILON, which is defined as the smallest number so that
   //    1+DBL_EPSILON > 1
   // - The last step is a standard forward/backward substitution .
   //
   // It is important to realize that both InvertFast() and Invert() are "one-shot" deals , speed
   // comes at a price . If something goes wrong because the matrix is (near) singular, you have
   // overwritten your original matrix and  no factorization is available anymore to get more
   // information like condition number or change the tolerance number .
   //
   // All other calls in the matrix classes involving inversion like the ones with the "smart"
   // constructors (kInverted,kInvMult...) use this inversion method .
   //

   // ### 3. Inversion through LU decomposition
   // The (default) algorithms used are similar to 2. (Not identical because in 2, the whole
   // calculation is done "in-place". Here the original matrix is copied (so more memory
   // management => slower) and several operations can be performed without having to repeat
   // the decomposition step .
   // Inverting a matrix is nothing else than solving a set of equations where the rhs is given
   // by the unit matrix, so the steps to take are identical to those solving a linear equation :
   //

   // One might want to proceed more cautiously by invoking first Decompose() and check its
   // return value before proceeding....
