tb_mat_cond — 2D typed op

Data kinds: matrixfeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_mat_cond", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

Usage

Spectral (2-norm) condition number `s_max / s_min` — the numerical canary of the whole linalg family.

`cond == 1` for an orthogonal/orthonormal matrix (the best possible);

`inf` (returned, not raised — the question "how conditioned is it?" has

that honest answer) for an exactly singular one. A solve against *A* loses

roughly `log10(cond(A))` significant digits (Golub & Van Loan §2.6):

• `cond ~ 1e3` — comfortable, ~13 digits survive.

• `cond ~ 1e8` — half the digits are gone; residuals may still look

small while parameters are off.

• `cond > 1e12 — **do not trust** :func:mat_solve` here: at best ~3

digits remain. Rescale/centre the problem, or switch to

:func:mat_lstsq / :func:mat_pinv with an honest `rcond`.

Defined for any rectangular `(m, n)` matrix (via its singular values).

HALCON: no direct operator (combine `norm_matrix` of *A* and of its

inverse).

Typed bridge of the math op `mat_cond into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b` are unused.
