<div class="block">This class implements an ordering operation for T-uples.
<p>Ordering is done by encoding all components of the T-uple into a
single scalar value and using this value as the sorting
key. Encoding is performed using the method invented by Georg
Cantor in 1877 when he proved it was possible to establish a
bijection between a line and a plane. The binary representations of
the components of the T-uple are mixed together to form a single
scalar. This means that the 2<sup>k</sup> bit of component 0 is
followed by the 2<sup>k</sup> bit of component 1, then by the
2<sup>k</sup> bit of component 2 up to the 2<sup>k</sup> bit of
component <code>t</code>, which is followed by the 2<sup>k-1</sup>
bit of component 0, followed by the 2<sup>k-1</sup> bit of
component 1 ... The binary representations are extended as needed
to handle numbers with different scales and a suitable
2<sup>p</sup> offset is added to the components in order to avoid
negative numbers (this offset is adjusted as needed during the
comparison operations).</p>
<p>The more interesting property of the encoding method for our
purpose is that it allows to select all the points that are in a
given range. This is depicted in dimension 2 by the following
picture:</p>
<img src="doc-files/OrderedTuple.png" />
<p>This picture shows a set of 100000 random 2-D pairs having their
first component between -50 and +150 and their second component
between -350 and +50. We wanted to extract all pairs having their
first component between +30 and +70 and their second component
between -120 and -30. We built the lower left point at coordinates
(30, -120) and the upper right point at coordinates (70, -30). All
points smaller than the lower left point are drawn in red and all
points larger than the upper right point are drawn in blue. The
green points are between the two limits. This picture shows that
all the desired points are selected, along with spurious points. In
this case, we get 15790 points, 4420 of which really belonging to
the desired rectangle. It is possible to extract very small
subsets. As an example extracting from the same 100000 points set
the points having their first component between +30 and +31 and
their second component between -91 and -90, we get a subset of 11
points, 2 of which really belonging to the desired rectangle.</p>
<p>the previous selection technique can be applied in all
dimensions, still using two points to define the interval. The
first point will have all its components set to their lower bounds
while the second point will have all its components set to their
upper bounds.</p>
<p>T-uples with negative infinite or positive infinite components
are sorted logically.</p>
<p>Since the specification of the <code>Comparator</code> interface
allows only <code>ClassCastException</code> errors, some arbitrary
choices have been made to handle specific cases. The rationale for
these choices is to keep <em>regular</em> and consistent T-uples
together.</p>
<ul>
<li>instances with different dimensions are sorted according to
their dimension regardless of their components values</li>
<li>instances with <code>Double.NaN</code> components are sorted
after all other ones (even after instances with positive infinite
components</li>
<li>instances with both positive and negative infinite components
are considered as if they had <code>Double.NaN</code>
components</li>
