Does the element have a component in this collection?
A map from a function and parent value to the associated subproblem.
Intermediate variables defined during the construction of factors.
Intermediate variables defined during the construction of factors. These are not associated with any element or component and are to be eliminated wherever they appear.
Indicates whether to create chain factors by decomposing the chain into several factors or a single factor This defaults to false since all the existing code a decomposition
Maps a variable to the parents needed for creating blocks using Gibbs sampling.
Maps a variable to the parents needed for creating blocks using Gibbs sampling. TODO: test if this variable causes memory leaks.
Returns the problem component associated with a particular variable.
Returns the problem component associated with a particular variable. Not valid for intermediate variables.
A collection of problem components. This data structure manages all the components being used in the solution of a top-level problem and its nested subproblems.
