26  * Important Notice: September 20, 2010
27  *
28  * In this head file, we deal with the case that the features might not be well ordered.
29  *
30  * If the features in the tree strucutre are well ordered, i.e., the indices of the left nodes is always less
31  * than the right nodes, please refer to "altra.h".
32  *
33  * The advantage of "altra.h" is that, we donot need to use an explicit
34  * variable for recording the indices.

44  * general_altra solves the following problem
45  *
46  * 1/2 \|x-v\|^2 + \sum \lambda_i \|x_{G_i}\|,
47  *
48  * where x and v are of dimension n,
49  * \lambda_i >=0, and G_i's follow the tree structure
50  *
51  * It is implemented in Matlab as follows:
52  *
53  * x=general_altra(v, n, G, ind, nodes);
54  *
55  * G contains the indices of the groups.
56  * It is a row vector. Its length equals to \sum_i \|G_i\|.
57  * If all the entries are penalized with L1 norm,
58  * its length is \sum_i \|G_i\| - n.
59  *
60  * ind is a 3 x nodes matrix.
61  * Each column corresponds to a node.
62  *
63  * The first element of each column is the starting index,
64  * the second element of each column is the ending index
65  * the third element of each column corrreponds to \lambbda_i.
66  *
67  *
68  *
69  * The following example shows how G and ind works:
70  *
71  * G={ {1, 2}, {4, 5}, {3, 6}, {7, 8},
72  * {1, 2, 3, 6}, {4, 5, 7, 8},
73  * {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} }.
74  *
75  * ind={ [1, 2, 100]', [3, 4, 100]', [5, 6, 100]', [7, 8, 100]',
76  * [9, 12, 100]', [13, 16, 100]', [17, 24, 100]' }
77  *
78  * where "100" denotes the weight for the nodes.
79  *
80  *
81  *
82  * -------------------------------------------------------------------
83  * Notices:
84  * -------------------------------------------------------------------
85  *
86  * 1. The features in the tree might not be well ordered. Otherwise, you are
87  * suggested to use "altra.h".
88  *
89  * 2. When each elements of x are penalized via the same L1
90  * (equivalent to the L2 norm) parameter, one can simplify the input
91  * by specifying
92  * the "first" column of ind as (-1, -1, lambda)
93  *
94  * In this case, we treat it as a single "super" node. Thus in the value
95  * nodes, we only count it once.
96  *
97  * 3. The values in "ind" are in [1,length(G)].
98  *
99  * 4. The third element of each column should be positive. The program does
100  * not check the validity of the parameter.
101  *
102  * 5. The values in G should be within [1, n].
103  *
104  * It is still valid to use the zero regularization parameter.
105  * In this case, the program does not change the values of
106  * correponding indices.
