+/**
+ * Exception to be thrown when a symmetric, definite positive {@link RealLinearOperator} is
+ * expected. Since the coefficients of the matrix are not accessible, the most general definition is
+ * used to check that {@code A} is not positive definite, i.e. there exists {@code x} such that
+ * {@code x' A x <= 0}. In the terminology of this exception, {@code A} is the "offending" linear
+ * operator and {@code x} the "offending" vector.
