 vector spaces. No direct access to the coefficients of the underlying matrix
 is provided.
 The motivation for such an interface is well stated by
 Barrett et al. (1994):
 We restrict ourselves to iterative methods, which work by repeatedly improving an approximate solution until it is accurate enough. These methods access the coefficient matrix A of the linear system only via the matrix-vector product y = A · x (and perhaps z = AT · x). Thus the user need only supply a subroutine for computing y (and perhaps z) given x, which permits full exploitation of the sparsity or other special structure of A.

 throws an UnsupportedOperationException. Users overriding this
 method must also override isTransposable().x - the vector to operate onthis instance with

true if this operator supports
 operateTranspose(RealVector). If true is returned,
 operateTranspose(RealVector) should not throw
 UnsupportedOperationException. The default implementation returns
