// Base class for Schur complement based linear least squares
// solvers. It assumes that the input linear system Ax = b can be
// partitioned into
//
//  E y + F z = b
//
// Where x = [y;z] is a partition of the variables.  The partitioning
// of the variables is such that, E'E is a block diagonal
// matrix. Further, the rows of A are ordered so that for every
// variable block in y, all the rows containing that variable block
// occur as a vertically contiguous block. i.e the matrix A looks like
//
//              E                 F
//  A = [ y1   0   0   0 |  z1    0    0   0    z5]
//      [ y1   0   0   0 |  z1   z2    0   0     0]
//      [  0  y2   0   0 |   0    0   z3   0     0]
//      [  0   0  y3   0 |  z1   z2   z3  z4    z5]
//      [  0   0  y3   0 |  z1    0    0   0    z5]
//      [  0   0   0  y4 |   0    0    0   0    z5]
//      [  0   0   0  y4 |   0   z2    0   0     0]
//      [  0   0   0  y4 |   0    0    0   0     0]
//      [  0   0   0   0 |  z1    0    0   0     0]
//      [  0   0   0   0 |   0    0   z3  z4    z5]
//
// This structure should be reflected in the corresponding
// CompressedRowBlockStructure object associated with A. The linear
// system Ax = b should either be well posed or the array D below
// should be non-null and the diagonal matrix corresponding to it
// should be non-singular.
//
// SchurComplementSolver has two sub-classes.
//
// DenseSchurComplementSolver: For problems where the Schur complement
// matrix is small and dense, or if CHOLMOD/SuiteSparse is not
// installed. For structure from motion problems, this is solver can
// be used for problems with upto a few hundred cameras.
//
// SparseSchurComplementSolver: For problems where the Schur
// complement matrix is large and sparse. It requires that Ceres be
// build with at least one sparse linear algebra library, as it
// computes a sparse Cholesky factorization of the Schur complement.
//
// This solver can be used for solving structure from motion problems
// with tens of thousands of cameras, though depending on the exact
// sparsity structure, it maybe better to use an iterative solver.
//
// The two solvers can be instantiated by calling
// LinearSolver::CreateLinearSolver with LinearSolver::Options::type
// set to DENSE_SCHUR and SPARSE_SCHUR
// respectively. LinearSolver::Options::elimination_groups[0] should
// be at least 1.
