Linear algebra module including high-level functions to solve linear systems, factorisation, and etc.

The module includes a set of advanced linear algebra operations such as singular value decomposition, and etc.

Currently, Linalg module supports dense matrix of four different number types, including ``float32``, ``float64``, ``complex32``, and ``complex64``. The support for sparse matrices will be provided in future.

Type definition
type ('a, 'b) t = ('a, 'b) Owl_dense_matrix_generic.t

Matrix type, a special case of N-dimensional array.

Basic functions
val inv : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``inv x`` calculates the inverse of an invertible square matrix ``x`` such that ``x *@ x = I`` wherein ``I`` is an identity matrix. (If ``x`` is singular, ``inv`` will return a useless result.)

val pinv : ?tol:float -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``pinv x`` computes Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse of matrix ``x``. ``tol`` specifies the tolerance, the absolute value of the elements smaller than ``tol`` will be set to zeros.

val det : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a

``det x`` computes the determinant of a square matrix ``x``.

val logdet : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a

``logdet x`` computes the log of the determinant of a square matrix ``x``. It is equivalent to ``log (det x)`` but may provide more accuracy and efficiency.

val rank : ?tol:float -> ('a, 'b) t -> int

``rank x`` calculates the rank of a rectangular matrix ``x`` of shape ``m x n``. The function does so by counting the number of singular values of ``x`` which are beyond a pre-defined threshold ``tol``. By default, ``tol = max(m,n) * eps`` where ``eps = 1e-10``.

val norm : ?p:float -> ('a, 'b) t -> float

``norm ~p x`` computes the matrix p-norm of the passed in matrix ``x``.

Parameters: * ``p`` is the order of norm, the default value is 2. * ``x`` is the input matrix.

Returns: * If ``p = 1``, then returns the maximum absolute column sum of the matrix. * If ``p = 2``, then returns approximately ``max (svd x)``. * If ``p = infinity``, then returns the maximum absolute row sum of the matrix. * If ``p = -1``, then returns the minimum absolute column sum of the matrix. * If ``p = -2``, then returns approximately ``min (svd x)``. * If ``p = -infinity``, then returns the minimum absolute row sum of the matrix.

val vecnorm : ?p:float -> ('a, 'b) t -> float

``vecnorm ~p x`` calculates the generalised vector p-norm, defined as below. If ``x`` is a martrix, it will be flatten to a vector first. Different from the function of the same name in :doc:`owl_dense_ndarray_generic`, this function assumes the input is either 1d vector or 2d matrix.

.. math:: ||v||_p = \Big \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} |v_k|^p \Big^

/p

Parameters: * ``p`` is the order of norm, the default value is 2. * ``x`` is the input vector or matrix.

Returns: * If ``p = infinity``, then returns :math:`||v||_\infty = \max_i(|v(i)|)`. * If ``p = -infinity``, then returns :math:`||v||_

\infty

}

= \min_i(|v(i)|)`. * If ``p = 2`` and ``x`` is a matrix, then returns Frobenius norm of ``x``. * Otherwise returns generalised vector p-norm defined above.

val cond : ?p:float -> ('a, 'b) t -> float

``cond ~p x`` computes the p-norm condition number of matrix ``x``.

``cond ~p:1. x`` returns the 1-norm condition number;

``cond ~p:2. x`` or ``cond x`` returns the 2-norm condition number.

``cond ~p:infinity x`` returns the infinity norm condition number.

The default value of ``p`` is ``2.``

val rcond : ('a, 'b) t -> float

``rcond x`` returns an estimate for the reciprocal condition of ``x`` in 1-norm. If ``x`` is well conditioned, the returned result is near ``1.0``. If ``x`` is badly conditioned, the result is near ``0.``

Check matrix types
val is_square : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

``is_square x`` returns ``true`` if ``x`` is a square matrix otherwise ``false``.

val is_triu : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

``is_triu x`` returns ``true`` if ``x`` is upper triangular otherwise ``false``.

val is_tril : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

``is_tril x`` returns ``true`` if ``x`` is lower triangular otherwise ``false``.

val is_symmetric : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

``is_symmetric x`` returns ``true`` if ``x`` is symmetric otherwise ``false``.

val is_hermitian : (Stdlib.Complex.t, 'a) t -> bool

``is_hermitian x`` returns ``true`` if ``x`` is hermitian otherwise ``false``.

val is_diag : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

``is_diag x`` returns ``true`` if ``x`` is diagonal otherwise ``false``.

val is_posdef : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

``is_posdef x`` checks whether ``x`` is a positive semi-definite matrix.

Factorisation
val lu : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * (int32, Stdlib.Bigarray.int32_elt) t

``lu x -> (l, u, ipiv)`` calculates LU decomposition of ``x``. The pivoting is used by default.

val lq : ?thin:bool -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t

``lq x -> (l, q)`` calculates the LQ decomposition of ``x``. By default, the reduced LQ decomposition is performed. But you can get full ``Q`` by setting parameter ``thin = false``.

val qr : ?thin:bool -> ?pivot:bool -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * (int32, Stdlib.Bigarray.int32_elt) t

``qr x`` calculates QR decomposition for an ``m`` by ``n`` matrix ``x`` as ``x = Q R``. ``Q`` is an ``m`` by ``n`` matrix (where ``Q^T Q = I``) and ``R`` is an ``n`` by ``n`` upper-triangular matrix.

The function returns a 3-tuple, the first two are ``q`` and ``r``, and the thrid is the permutation vector of columns. The default value of ``pivot`` is ``false``, setting ``pivot = true`` lets ``qr`` performs pivoted factorisation. Note that the returned indices are not adjusted to 0-based C layout.

By default, ``qr`` performs a reduced QR factorisation, full factorisation can be enabled by setting ``thin`` parameter to ``false``.

val chol : ?upper:bool -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``chol x -> u`` calculates the Cholesky factorisation of a positive definite matrix ``x`` such that ``x = u' *@ u``. By default, the upper triangular matrix is returned. The lower triangular part can be obtained by setting the parameter ``upper = false``.

val svd : ?thin:bool -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t

``svd x -> (u, s, vt)`` calculates the singular value decomposition of ``x``, and returns a 3-tuple ``(u,s,vt)``. By default, a reduced svd is performed: E.g., for a ``m x n`` matrix ``x`` wherein ``m <= n``, ``u`` is returned as an ``m`` by ``m`` orthogonal matrix, ``s`` an ``1`` by ``m`` row vector of singular values, and ``vt`` is the transpose of an ``n`` by ``m`` orthogonal rectangular matrix.

The full svd can be performed by setting ``thin = false``. Note that for complex numbers, the type of returned singular values are also complex, the imaginary part is zero.

val svdvals : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``svdvals x -> s`` performs the singular value decomposition of ``x`` like ``svd x``, but the function only returns the singular values without ``u`` and ``vt``. Note that for complex numbers, the return is also complex type.

val gsvd : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t

``gsvd x y -> (u, v, q, d1, d2, r)`` computes the generalised singular value decomposition of a pair of general rectangular matrices ``x`` and ``y``. ``d1`` and ``d2`` contain the generalised singular value pairs of ``x`` and ``y``. The shape of ``x`` is ``m x n`` and the shape of ``y`` is ``p x n``.

.. code-block:: ocaml

let x = Mat.uniform 5 5;; let y = Mat.uniform 2 5;; let u, v, q, d1, d2, r = Linalg.gsvd x y;; Mat.(u *@ d1 *@ r *@ transpose q =~ x);; Mat.(v *@ d2 *@ r *@ transpose q =~ y);;

Please refer to: `Intel MKL Reference <https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl-developer-reference-c-ggsvd3>`_

val gsvdvals : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``gsvdvals x y`` is similar to ``gsvd x y`` but only returns the singular values of the generalised singular value decomposition of ``x`` and ``y``.

val schur : otyp:('c, 'd) Stdlib.Bigarray.kind -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('c, 'd) t

``schur x -> (t, z, w)`` calculates Schur factorisation of ``x`` in the following form.

.. math:: X = Z T Z^H

Parameters: * ``otyp``: the complex type of eigen values. * ``x``: the ``n x n`` square matrix.

Returns: * ``t`` is (quasi) triangular Schur factor. * ``z`` is orthogonal/unitary Schur vectors. The eigen values are not sorted, they have the same order as that they appear on the diagonal of the output of Schur form ``t``. * ``w`` contains the eigen values of ``x``. ``otyp`` is used to specify the type of ``w``. It needs to be consistent with input type. E.g., if the input ``x`` is ``float32`` then ``otyp`` must be ``complex32``. However, if you use S, D, C, Z module, then you do not need to worry about ``otyp``.

val schur_tz : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t

``schur_tz x`` is similar to ``schur`` but only returns ``(t, z)``.

val ordschur : otyp:('c, 'd) Stdlib.Bigarray.kind -> select:(int32, Stdlib.Bigarray.int32_elt) t -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t * ('c, 'd) t

val hess : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t

``hess x -> (h, q)`` calculates the Hessenberg form of a given matrix ``x``. Both Hessenberg matrix ``h`` and unitary matrix ``q`` is returned, such that ``x = q *@ h *@ (transpose q)``.

.. math:: X = Q H Q^T

Eigenvalues & eigenvectors
val eig : ?permute:bool -> ?scale:bool -> otyp:('a, 'b) Stdlib.Bigarray.kind -> ('c, 'd) t -> ('a, 'b) t * ('a, 'b) t

``eig x -> v, w`` computes the right eigenvectors ``v`` and eigenvalues ``w`` of an arbitrary square matrix ``x``. The eigenvectors are column vectors in ``v``, their corresponding eigenvalues have the same order in ``w`` as that in ``v``.

Note that ``otyp`` specifies the complex type of the output, but you do not need worry about this parameter if you use S, D, C, Z modules in Linalg.

Linear system of equations
val null : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``null a -> x`` computes an orthonormal basis ``x`` for the null space of ``a`` obtained from the singular value decomposition. Namely, ``a *@ x`` has negligible elements, ``M.col_num x`` is the nullity of ``a``, and ``transpose x *@ x = I``. Namely,

.. math:: X^T X = I

val linsolve : ?trans:bool -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) t

``linsolve a b -> x`` solves a linear system of equations ``a * x = b`` in the following form. The function uses LU factorisation with partial pivoting when ``a`` is square and QR factorisation with column pivoting otherwise. The number of rows of ``a`` must equal the number of rows of ``b``.

.. math:: AX = B

By default, ``trans = false`` indicates no transpose. If ``trans = true``, then function will solve ``A^T * x = b`` for real matrices; ``A^H * x = b`` for complex matrices.

.. math:: A^H X = B

The associated operator is ``/@``, so you can simply use ``a /@ b`` to solve the linear equation system to get ``x``. Please refer to :doc:`owl_operator`.

The ``upper`` indicates whether the upper or lower triangular part of ``x`` is stored and how ``x`` is factored. If ``upper = true`` then upper triangular part is stored: ``x = u*d*u'`` else ``x = l*d*l'``.

For ``ipiv``, it indicates the details of the interchanges and the block structure of ``d``. Please refer to the function ``sytrf``, ``hetrf`` in MKL documentation for more details.

Matrix functions
val mpow : ('a, 'b) t -> float -> ('a, 'b) t

``mpow x r`` returns the dot product of square matrix ``x`` with itself ``r`` times, and more generally raises the matrix to the ``r``th power. ``r`` is a float that must be equal to an integer; it can be be negative, zero, or positive. Non-integer exponents are not yet implemented. (If ``r`` is negative, ``mpow`` calls ``inv``, and warnings in documentation for ``inv`` apply.)
