Linear Algebra

In addition to (and as part of) its support for multi-dimensional arrays, Julia provides native implementations of many common and useful linear algebra operations which can be loaded with using LinearAlgebra. Basic operations, such as tr, det, and inv are all supported:

julia> A = [1 2 3; 4 1 6; 7 8 1]
3×3 Matrix{Int64}:
 1  2  3
 4  1  6
 7  8  1

julia> tr(A)
3

julia> det(A)
104.0

julia> inv(A)
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
 -0.451923   0.211538    0.0865385
  0.365385  -0.192308    0.0576923
  0.240385   0.0576923  -0.0673077

As well as other useful operations, such as finding eigenvalues or eigenvectors:

julia> A = [-4. -17.; 2. 2.]
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 -4.0  -17.0
  2.0    2.0

julia> eigvals(A)
2-element Vector{ComplexF64}:
 -1.0 - 5.0im
 -1.0 + 5.0im

julia> eigvecs(A)
2×2 Matrix{ComplexF64}:
  0.945905-0.0im        0.945905+0.0im
 -0.166924+0.278207im  -0.166924-0.278207im

In addition, Julia provides many factorizations which can be used to speed up problems such as linear solve or matrix exponentiation by pre-factorizing a matrix into a form more amenable (for performance or memory reasons) to the problem. See the documentation on factorize for more information. As an example:

julia> A = [1.5 2 -4; 3 -1 -6; -10 2.3 4]
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
   1.5   2.0  -4.0
   3.0  -1.0  -6.0
 -10.0   2.3   4.0

julia> factorize(A)
LU{Float64, Matrix{Float64}, Vector{Int64}}
L factor:
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
  1.0    0.0       0.0
 -0.15   1.0       0.0
 -0.3   -0.132196  1.0
U factor:
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
 -10.0  2.3     4.0
   0.0  2.345  -3.4
   0.0  0.0    -5.24947

Since A is not Hermitian, symmetric, triangular, tridiagonal, or bidiagonal, an LU factorization may be the best we can do. Compare with:

julia> B = [1.5 2 -4; 2 -1 -3; -4 -3 5]
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
  1.5   2.0  -4.0
  2.0  -1.0  -3.0
 -4.0  -3.0   5.0

julia> factorize(B)
BunchKaufman{Float64, Matrix{Float64}, Vector{Int64}}
D factor:
3×3 Tridiagonal{Float64, Vector{Float64}}:
 -1.64286   0.0   ⋅
  0.0      -2.8  0.0
   ⋅        0.0  5.0
U factor:
3×3 UnitUpperTriangular{Float64, Matrix{Float64}}:
 1.0  0.142857  -0.8
  ⋅   1.0       -0.6
  ⋅    ⋅         1.0
permutation:
3-element Vector{Int64}:
 1
 2
 3

Here, Julia was able to detect that B is in fact symmetric, and used a more appropriate factorization. Often it's possible to write more efficient code for a matrix that is known to have certain properties e.g. it is symmetric, or tridiagonal. Julia provides some special types so that you can "tag" matrices as having these properties. For instance:

julia> B = [1.5 2 -4; 2 -1 -3; -4 -3 5]
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
  1.5   2.0  -4.0
  2.0  -1.0  -3.0
 -4.0  -3.0   5.0

julia> sB = Symmetric(B)
3×3 Symmetric{Float64, Matrix{Float64}}:
  1.5   2.0  -4.0
  2.0  -1.0  -3.0
 -4.0  -3.0   5.0

sB has been tagged as a matrix that's (real) symmetric, so for later operations we might perform on it, such as eigenfactorization or computing matrix-vector products, efficiencies can be found by only referencing half of it. For example:

julia> B = [1.5 2 -4; 2 -1 -3; -4 -3 5]
3×3 Matrix{Float64}:
  1.5   2.0  -4.0
  2.0  -1.0  -3.0
 -4.0  -3.0   5.0

julia> sB = Symmetric(B)
3×3 Symmetric{Float64, Matrix{Float64}}:
  1.5   2.0  -4.0
  2.0  -1.0  -3.0
 -4.0  -3.0   5.0

julia> x = [1; 2; 3]
3-element Vector{Int64}:
 1
 2
 3

julia> sB\x
3-element Vector{Float64}:
 -1.7391304347826084
 -1.1086956521739126
 -1.4565217391304346

The \ operation here performs the linear solution. The left-division operator is pretty powerful and it's easy to write compact, readable code that is flexible enough to solve all sorts of systems of linear equations.

Special matrices

Matrices with special symmetries and structures arise often in linear algebra and are frequently associated with various matrix factorizations. Julia features a rich collection of special matrix types, which allow for fast computation with specialized routines that are specially developed for particular matrix types.

The uniform scaling operator

A UniformScaling operator represents a scalar times the identity operator, λ*I. The identity operator I is defined as a constant and is an instance of UniformScaling. The size of these operators are generic and match the other matrix in the binary operations +, -, * and \. For A+I and A-I this means that A must be square. Multiplication with the identity operator I is a noop (except for checking that the scaling factor is one) and therefore almost without overhead.

To see the UniformScaling operator in action:

julia> U = UniformScaling(2);

julia> a = [1 2; 3 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
 1  2
 3  4

julia> a + U
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:

 1  2  3
 4  5  6

julia> b - U
ERROR: DimensionMismatch: matrix is not square: dimensions are (2, 3)
Stacktrace:
[...]

If you need to solve many systems of the form (A+μI)x = b for the same A and different μ, it might be beneficial to first compute the Hessenberg factorization F of A via the hessenberg function. Given F, Julia employs an efficient algorithm for (F+μ*I) \ b (equivalent to (A+μ*I)x \ b) and related operations like determinants.

Matrix factorizations

Matrix factorizations (a.k.a. matrix decompositions) compute the factorization of a matrix into a product of matrices, and are one of the central concepts in (numerical) linear algebra.

The following table summarizes the types of matrix factorizations that have been implemented in Julia. Details of their associated methods can be found in the Standard functions section of the Linear Algebra documentation.

Type	Description
`BunchKaufman`	Bunch-Kaufman factorization
`Cholesky`	Cholesky factorization
`CholeskyPivoted`	Pivoted Cholesky factorization
`LDLt`	LDL(T) factorization
`LU`	LU factorization
`QR`	QR factorization
`QRCompactWY`	Compact WY form of the QR factorization
`QRPivoted`	Pivoted QR factorization
`LQ`	QR factorization of `transpose(A)`
`Hessenberg`	Hessenberg decomposition
`Eigen`	Spectral decomposition
`GeneralizedEigen`	Generalized spectral decomposition
`SVD`	Singular value decomposition
`GeneralizedSVD`	Generalized SVD
`Schur`	Schur decomposition
`GeneralizedSchur`	Generalized Schur decomposition

Adjoints and transposes of Factorization objects are lazily wrapped in AdjointFactorization and TransposeFactorization objects, respectively. Generically, transpose of real Factorizations are wrapped as AdjointFactorization.

Orthogonal matrices (`AbstractQ`)

Some matrix factorizations generate orthogonal/unitary "matrix" factors. These factorizations include QR-related factorizations obtained from calls to qr, i.e., QR, QRCompactWY and QRPivoted, the Hessenberg factorization obtained from calls to hessenberg, and the LQ factorization obtained from lq. While these orthogonal/unitary factors admit a matrix representation, their internal representation is, for performance and memory reasons, different. Hence, they should be rather viewed as matrix-backed, function-based linear operators. In particular, reading, for instance, a column of its matrix representation requires running "matrix"-vector multiplication code, rather than simply reading out data from memory (possibly filling parts of the vector with structural zeros). Another clear distinction from other, non-triangular matrix types is that the underlying multiplication code allows for in-place modification during multiplication. Furthermore, objects of specific AbstractQ subtypes as those created via qr, hessenberg and lq can behave like a square or a rectangular matrix depending on context:

julia> using LinearAlgebra

julia> Q = qr(rand(3,2)).Q
3×3 LinearAlgebra.QRCompactWYQ{Float64, Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}}

julia> ones(1,3) * Q'
1×3 Matrix{Float64}:
 0.160791  -1.67421  0.413724

Due to this distinction from dense or structured matrices, the abstract AbstractQ type does not subtype AbstractMatrix, but instead has its own type hierarchy. Custom types that subtype AbstractQ can rely on generic fallbacks if the following interface is satisfied. For example, for

struct MyQ{T} <: LinearAlgebra.AbstractQ{T}
    # required fields
end

provide overloads for

Base.size(Q::MyQ) # size of corresponding square matrix representation
Base.convert(::Type{AbstractQ{T}}, Q::MyQ) # eltype promotion [optional]
LinearAlgebra.lmul!(Q::MyQ, x::AbstractVecOrMat) # left-multiplication
LinearAlgebra.rmul!(A::AbstractMatrix, Q::MyQ) # right-multiplication

If eltype promotion is not of interest, the convert method is unnecessary, since by default convert(::Type{AbstractQ{T}}, Q::AbstractQ{T}) returns Q itself. Adjoints of AbstractQ-typed objects are lazily wrapped in an AdjointQ wrapper type, which requires its own LinearAlgebra.lmul! and LinearAlgebra.rmul! methods. Given this set of methods, any Q::MyQ can be used like a matrix, preferably in a multiplicative context: multiplication via * with scalars, vectors and matrices from left and right, obtaining a matrix representation of Q via Matrix(Q) (or Q*I) and indexing into the matrix representation all work. In contrast, addition and subtraction as well as more generally broadcasting over elements in the matrix representation fail because that would be highly inefficient. For such use cases, consider computing the matrix representation up front and cache it for future reuse.

Pivoting Strategies

Several of Julia's matrix factorizations support pivoting, which can be used to improve their numerical stability. In fact, some matrix factorizations, such as the LU factorization, may fail without pivoting.

In pivoting, first, a pivot element with good numerical properties is chosen based on a pivoting strategy. Next, the rows and columns of the original matrix are permuted to bring the chosen element in place for subsequent computation. Furthermore, the process is repeated for each stage of the factorization.

Consequently, besides the conventional matrix factors, the outputs of pivoted factorization schemes also include permutation matrices.

In the following, the pivoting strategies implemented in Julia are briefly described. Note that not all matrix factorizations may support them. Consult the documentation of the respective matrix factorization for details on the supported pivoting strategies.

LinearAlgebra.NoPivot — Type

NoPivot

Pivoting is not performed. Matrix factorizations such as the LU factorization may fail without pivoting, and may also be numerically unstable for floating-point matrices in the face of roundoff error. This pivot strategy is mainly useful for pedagogical purposes.

LinearAlgebra.RowNonZero — Type

RowNonZero

First non-zero element in the remaining rows is chosen as the pivot element.

Beware that for floating-point matrices, the resulting LU algorithm is numerically unstable — this strategy is mainly useful for comparison to hand calculations (which typically use this strategy) or for other algebraic types (e.g. rational numbers) not susceptible to roundoff errors. Otherwise, the default RowMaximum pivoting strategy should be generally preferred in Gaussian elimination.

Note that the element type of the matrix must admit an iszero method.

LinearAlgebra.RowMaximum — Type

RowMaximum

The maximum-magnitude element in the remaining rows is chosen as the pivot element. This is the default strategy for LU factorization of floating-point matrices, and is sometimes referred to as the "partial pivoting" algorithm.

Note that the element type of the matrix must admit an abs method, whose result type must admit a < method.

LinearAlgebra.ColumnNorm — Type

ColumnNorm

The column with the maximum norm is used for subsequent computation. This is used for pivoted QR factorization.

Note that the element type of the matrix must admit norm and abs methods, whose respective result types must admit a < method.

Standard functions

Linear algebra functions in Julia are largely implemented by calling functions from LAPACK. Sparse matrix factorizations call functions from SuiteSparse. Other sparse solvers are available as Julia packages.

Base.:* — Method

*(A::AbstractMatrix, B::AbstractMatrix)

Matrix multiplication.

Examples

julia> [1 1; 0 1] * [1 0; 1 1]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
 2  1
 1  1

Base.:* — Method

*(A, B::AbstractMatrix, C)
A * B * C * D

Chained multiplication of 3 or 4 matrices is done in the most efficient sequence, based on the sizes of the arrays. That is, the number of scalar multiplications needed for (A * B) * C (with 3 dense matrices) is compared to that for A * (B * C) to choose which of these to execute.

If the last factor is a vector, or the first a transposed vector, then it is efficient to deal with these first. In particular x' * B * y means (x' * B) * y for an ordinary column-major B::Matrix. Unlike dot(x, B, y), this allocates an intermediate array.

If the first or last factor is a number, this will be fused with the matrix multiplication, using 5-arg mul!.

Note

LinearAlgebra.QR — Type

QR <: Factorization

A QR matrix factorization stored in a packed format, typically obtained from qr. If $A$ is an m×n matrix, then

\[A = Q R\]

where $Q$ is an orthogonal/unitary matrix and $R$ is upper triangular. The matrix $Q$ is stored as a sequence of Householder reflectors $v_i$ and coefficients $\tau_i$ where:

\[Q = \prod_{i=1}^{\min(m,n)} (I - \tau_i v_i v_i^T).\]

Iterating the decomposition produces the components Q and R.

The object has two fields:

factors is an m×n matrix.
- The upper triangular part contains the elements of $R$, that is R = triu(F.factors) for a QR object F.
- The subdiagonal part contains the reflectors $v_i$ stored in a packed format where $v_i$ is the $i$th column of the matrix V = I + tril(F.factors, -1).
τ is a vector of length min(m,n) containing the coefficients $au_i$.

LinearAlgebra.QRCompactWY — Type

QRCompactWY <: Factorization

A QR matrix factorization stored in a compact blocked format, typically obtained from qr. If $A$ is an m×n matrix, then

\[A = Q R\]

where $Q$ is an orthogonal/unitary matrix and $R$ is upper triangular. It is similar to the QR format except that the orthogonal/unitary matrix $Q$ is stored in Compact WY format ^{[Schreiber1989]}. For the block size $n_b$, it is stored as a m×n lower trapezoidal matrix $V$ and a matrix $T = (T_1 \; T_2 \; ... \; T_{b-1} \; T_b')$ composed of $b = \lceil \min(m,n) / n_b \rceil$ upper triangular matrices $T_j$ of size $n_b$×$n_b$ ($j = 1, ..., b-1$) and an upper trapezoidal $n_b$×$\min(m,n) - (b-1) n_b$ matrix $T_b'$ ($j=b$) whose upper square part denoted with $T_b$ satisfying

\[Q = \prod_{i=1}^{\min(m,n)} (I - \tau_i v_i v_i^T) = \prod_{j=1}^{b} (I - V_j T_j V_j^T)\]

such that $v_i$ is the $i$th column of $V$, $\tau_i$ is the $i$th element of [diag(T_1); diag(T_2); …; diag(T_b)], and $(V_1 \; V_2 \; ... \; V_b)$ is the left m×min(m, n) block of $V$. When constructed using qr, the block size is given by $n_b = \min(m, n, 36)$.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components Q and R.

The object has two fields:

factors, as in the QR type, is an m×n matrix.
- The upper triangular part contains the elements of $R$, that is R = triu(F.factors) for a QR object F.
- The subdiagonal part contains the reflectors $v_i$ stored in a packed format such that V = I + tril(F.factors, -1).
T is a $n_b$-by-$\min(m,n)$ matrix as described above. The subdiagonal elements for each triangular matrix $T_j$ are ignored.

Note

This format should not to be confused with the older WY representation ^{[Bischof1987]}.

LinearAlgebra.QRPivoted — Type

QRPivoted <: Factorization

A QR matrix factorization with column pivoting in a packed format, typically obtained from qr. If $A$ is an m×n matrix, then

\[A P = Q R\]

where $P$ is a permutation matrix, $Q$ is an orthogonal/unitary matrix and $R$ is upper triangular. The matrix $Q$ is stored as a sequence of Householder reflectors:

\[Q = \prod_{i=1}^{\min(m,n)} (I - \tau_i v_i v_i^T).\]

Iterating the decomposition produces the components Q, R, and p.

The object has three fields:

factors is an m×n matrix.
- The upper triangular part contains the elements of $R$, that is R = triu(F.factors) for a QR object F.
- The subdiagonal part contains the reflectors $v_i$ stored in a packed format where $v_i$ is the $i$th column of the matrix V = I + tril(F.factors, -1).
τ is a vector of length min(m,n) containing the coefficients $au_i$.
jpvt is an integer vector of length n corresponding to the permutation $P$.

LinearAlgebra.qr — Function

qr(A::SparseMatrixCSC; tol=_default_tol(A), ordering=ORDERING_DEFAULT) -> QRSparse

Compute the QR factorization of a sparse matrix A. Fill-reducing row and column permutations are used such that F.R = F.Q'*A[F.prow,F.pcol]. The main application of this type is to solve least squares or underdetermined problems with \. The function calls the C library SPQR^[ACM933].

Note

qr(A::SparseMatrixCSC) uses the SPQR library that is part of SuiteSparse. As this library only supports sparse matrices with Float64 or ComplexF64 elements, as of Julia v1.4 qr converts A into a copy that is of type SparseMatrixCSC{Float64} or SparseMatrixCSC{ComplexF64} as appropriate.

Examples

julia> A = sparse([1,2,3,4], [1,1,2,2], [1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0])

qr(A, pivot = NoPivot(); blocksize) -> F

Compute the QR factorization of the matrix A: an orthogonal (or unitary if A is complex-valued) matrix Q, and an upper triangular matrix R such that

\[A = Q R\]

The returned object F stores the factorization in a packed format:

if pivot == ColumnNorm() then F is a QRPivoted object,
otherwise if the element type of A is a BLAS type (Float32, Float64, ComplexF32 or ComplexF64), then F is a QRCompactWY object,
otherwise F is a QR object.

The individual components of the decomposition F can be retrieved via property accessors:

F.Q: the orthogonal/unitary matrix Q
F.R: the upper triangular matrix R
F.p: the permutation vector of the pivot (QRPivoted only)
F.P: the permutation matrix of the pivot (QRPivoted only)

Note

Each reference to the upper triangular factor via F.R allocates a new array. It is therefore advisable to cache that array, say, by R = F.R and continue working with R.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components Q, R, and if extant p.

The following functions are available for the QR objects: inv, size, and \. When A is rectangular, \ will return a least squares solution and if the solution is not unique, the one with smallest norm is returned. When A is not full rank, factorization with (column) pivoting is required to obtain a minimum norm solution.

Multiplication with respect to either full/square or non-full/square Q is allowed, i.e. both F.Q*F.R and F.Q*A are supported. A Q matrix can be converted into a regular matrix with Matrix. This operation returns the "thin" Q factor, i.e., if A is m×n with m>=n, then Matrix(F.Q) yields an m×n matrix with orthonormal columns. To retrieve the "full" Q factor, an m×m orthogonal matrix, use F.Q*I or collect(F.Q). If m<=n, then Matrix(F.Q) yields an m×m orthogonal matrix.

The block size for QR decomposition can be specified by keyword argument blocksize :: Integer when pivot == NoPivot() and A isa StridedMatrix{<:BlasFloat}. It is ignored when blocksize > minimum(size(A)). See QRCompactWY.

Julia 1.4

The blocksize keyword argument requires Julia 1.4 or later.

Examples

julia> A = [3.0 -6.0; 4.0 -8.0; 0.0 1.0]
3×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 3.0  -6.0
 4.0  -8.0
 0.0   1.0

julia> F = qr(A)
LinearAlgebra.QRCompactWY{Float64, Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}}
Q factor: 3×3 LinearAlgebra.QRCompactWYQ{Float64, Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}}
R factor:
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 -5.0  10.0
  0.0  -1.0

julia> F.Q * F.R == A
true

Note

qr returns multiple types because LAPACK uses several representations that minimize the memory storage requirements of products of Householder elementary reflectors, so that the Q and R matrices can be stored compactly rather as two separate dense matrices.

LinearAlgebra.qr! — Function

qr!(A, pivot = NoPivot(); blocksize)

qr! is the same as qr when A is a subtype of AbstractMatrix, but saves space by overwriting the input A, instead of creating a copy. An InexactError exception is thrown if the factorization produces a number not representable by the element type of A, e.g. for integer types.

LinearAlgebra.LQ — Type

LQ <: Factorization

Matrix factorization type of the LQ factorization of a matrix A. The LQ decomposition is the QR decomposition of transpose(A). This is the return type of lq, the corresponding matrix factorization function.

If S::LQ is the factorization object, the lower triangular component can be obtained via S.L, and the orthogonal/unitary component via S.Q, such that A ≈ S.L*S.Q.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components S.L and S.Q.

Examples

julia> A = [5. 7.; -2. -4.]
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
  5.0   7.0
 -2.0  -4.0

 -2.0  -4.0

julia> l, q = S; # destructuring via iteration

julia> l == S.L &&  q == S.Q
true

LinearAlgebra.lq — Function

lq(A) -> S::LQ

Compute the LQ decomposition of A. The decomposition's lower triangular component can be obtained from the LQ object S via S.L, and the orthogonal/unitary component via S.Q, such that A ≈ S.L*S.Q.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components S.L and S.Q.

The LQ decomposition is the QR decomposition of transpose(A), and it is useful in order to compute the minimum-norm solution lq(A) \ b to an underdetermined system of equations (A has more columns than rows, but has full row rank).

Examples

julia> A = [5. 7.; -2. -4.]
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
  5.0   7.0
 -2.0  -4.0

LinearAlgebra.lq! — Function

lq!(A) -> LQ

LinearAlgebra.BunchKaufman — Type

BunchKaufman <: Factorization

Matrix factorization type of the Bunch-Kaufman factorization of a symmetric or Hermitian matrix A as P'UDU'P or P'LDL'P, depending on whether the upper (the default) or the lower triangle is stored in A. If A is complex symmetric then U' and L' denote the unconjugated transposes, i.e. transpose(U) and transpose(L), respectively. This is the return type of bunchkaufman, the corresponding matrix factorization function.

If S::BunchKaufman is the factorization object, the components can be obtained via S.D, S.U or S.L as appropriate given S.uplo, and S.p.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components S.D, S.U or S.L as appropriate given S.uplo, and S.p.

Examples

julia> A = Float64.([1 2; 2 3])
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:

LinearAlgebra.bunchkaufman — Function

bunchkaufman(A, rook::Bool=false; check = true) -> S::BunchKaufman

Compute the Bunch-Kaufman ^[Bunch1977] factorization of a symmetric or Hermitian matrix A as P'*U*D*U'*P or P'*L*D*L'*P, depending on which triangle is stored in A, and return a BunchKaufman object. Note that if A is complex symmetric then U' and L' denote the unconjugated transposes, i.e. transpose(U) and transpose(L).

Iterating the decomposition produces the components S.D, S.U or S.L as appropriate given S.uplo, and S.p.

If rook is true, rook pivoting is used. If rook is false, rook pivoting is not used.

When check = true, an error is thrown if the decomposition fails. When check = false, responsibility for checking the decomposition's validity (via issuccess) lies with the user.

The following functions are available for BunchKaufman objects: size, \, inv, issymmetric, ishermitian, getindex.

LinearAlgebra.Eigen — Type

Eigen <: Factorization

Matrix factorization type of the eigenvalue/spectral decomposition of a square matrix A. This is the return type of eigen, the corresponding matrix factorization function.

If F::Eigen is the factorization object, the eigenvalues can be obtained via F.values and the eigenvectors as the columns of the matrix F.vectors. (The kth eigenvector can be obtained from the slice F.vectors[:, k].)

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.values and F.vectors.

LinearAlgebra.eigvals! — Function

eigvals!(A; permute::Bool=true, scale::Bool=true, sortby) -> values

Same as eigvals, but saves space by overwriting the input A, instead of creating a copy. The permute, scale, and sortby keywords are the same as for eigen.

Note

The input matrix A will not contain its eigenvalues after eigvals! is called on it - A is used as a workspace.

eigvals!(A::Union{SymTridiagonal, Hermitian, Symmetric}, irange::UnitRange) -> values

Same as eigvals, but saves space by overwriting the input A, instead of creating a copy. irange is a range of eigenvalue indices to search for - for instance, the 2nd to 8th eigenvalues.

eigvals!(A::Union{SymTridiagonal, Hermitian, Symmetric}, vl::Real, vu::Real) -> values

Same as eigvals, but saves space by overwriting the input A, instead of creating a copy. vl is the lower bound of the interval to search for eigenvalues, and vu is the upper bound.

LinearAlgebra.eigmax — Function

eigmax(A; permute::Bool=true, scale::Bool=true)

Return the largest eigenvalue of A. The option permute=true permutes the matrix to become closer to upper triangular, and scale=true scales the matrix by its diagonal elements to make rows and columns more equal in norm. Note that if the eigenvalues of A are complex, this method will fail, since complex numbers cannot be sorted.

LinearAlgebra.eigmin — Function

eigmin(A; permute::Bool=true, scale::Bool=true)

eigvecs(A; permute::Bool=true, scale::Bool=true, `sortby`) -> Matrix

Return a matrix M whose columns are the eigenvectors of A. (The kth eigenvector can be obtained from the slice M[:, k].) The permute, scale, and sortby keywords are the same as for eigen.

LinearAlgebra.eigen — Function

eigen(A; permute::Bool=true, scale::Bool=true, sortby) -> Eigen

Compute the eigenvalue decomposition of A, returning an Eigen factorization object F which contains the eigenvalues in F.values and the eigenvectors in the columns of the matrix F.vectors. This corresponds to solving an eigenvalue problem of the form Ax = λx, where A is a matrix, x is an eigenvector, and λ is an eigenvalue. (The kth eigenvector can be obtained from the slice F.vectors[:, k].)

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.values and F.vectors.

The following functions are available for Eigen objects: inv, det, and isposdef.

For general nonsymmetric matrices it is possible to specify how the matrix is balanced before the eigenvector calculation. The option permute=true permutes the matrix to become closer to upper triangular, and scale=true scales the matrix by its diagonal elements to make rows and columns more equal in norm. The default is true for both options.

By default, the eigenvalues and vectors are sorted lexicographically by (real(λ),imag(λ)). A different comparison function by(λ) can be passed to sortby, or you can pass sortby=nothing to leave the eigenvalues in an arbitrary order. Some special matrix types (e.g. Diagonal or SymTridiagonal) may implement their own sorting convention and not accept a sortby keyword.

Examples

julia> F = eigen([1.0 0.0 0.0; 0.0 3.0 0.0; 0.0 0.0 18.0])

eigen(A::Union{SymTridiagonal, Hermitian, Symmetric}, irange::UnitRange) -> Eigen

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.values and F.vectors.

The following functions are available for Eigen objects: inv, det, and isposdef.

The UnitRange irange specifies indices of the sorted eigenvalues to search for.

Note

If irange is not 1:n, where n is the dimension of A, then the returned factorization will be a truncated factorization.

eigen(A::Union{SymTridiagonal, Hermitian, Symmetric}, vl::Real, vu::Real) -> Eigen

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.values and F.vectors.

The following functions are available for Eigen objects: inv, det, and isposdef.

vl is the lower bound of the window of eigenvalues to search for, and vu is the upper bound.

Note

If [vl, vu] does not contain all eigenvalues of A, then the returned factorization will be a truncated factorization.

LinearAlgebra.eigen! — Function

eigen!(A; permute, scale, sortby)
eigen!(A, B; sortby)

Same as eigen, but saves space by overwriting the input A (and B), instead of creating a copy.

LinearAlgebra.Hessenberg — Type

Hessenberg <: Factorization

A Hessenberg object represents the Hessenberg factorization QHQ' of a square matrix, or a shift Q(H+μI)Q' thereof, which is produced by the hessenberg function.

LinearAlgebra.hessenberg — Function

hessenberg(A) -> Hessenberg

Compute the Hessenberg decomposition of A and return a Hessenberg object. If F is the factorization object, the unitary matrix can be accessed with F.Q (of type LinearAlgebra.HessenbergQ) and the Hessenberg matrix with F.H (of type UpperHessenberg), either of which may be converted to a regular matrix with Matrix(F.H) or Matrix(F.Q).

If A is Hermitian or real-Symmetric, then the Hessenberg decomposition produces a real-symmetric tridiagonal matrix and F.H is of type SymTridiagonal.

Note that the shifted factorization A+μI = Q (H+μI) Q' can be constructed efficiently by F + μ*I using the UniformScaling object I, which creates a new Hessenberg object with shared storage and a modified shift. The shift of a given F is obtained by F.μ. This is useful because multiple shifted solves (F + μ*I) \ b (for different μ and/or b) can be performed efficiently once F is created.

Iterating the decomposition produces the factors F.Q, F.H, F.μ.

LinearAlgebra.hessenberg! — Function

LinearAlgebra.Schur — Type

Schur <: Factorization

If F::Schur is the factorization object, the (quasi) triangular Schur factor can be obtained via either F.Schur or F.T and the orthogonal/unitary Schur vectors via F.vectors or F.Z such that A = F.vectors * F.Schur * F.vectors'. The eigenvalues of A can be obtained with F.values.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.T, F.Z, and F.values.

LinearAlgebra.GeneralizedSchur — Type

GeneralizedSchur <: Factorization

Matrix factorization type of the generalized Schur factorization of two matrices A and B. This is the return type of schur(_, _), the corresponding matrix factorization function.

If F::GeneralizedSchur is the factorization object, the (quasi) triangular Schur factors can be obtained via F.S and F.T, the left unitary/orthogonal Schur vectors via F.left or F.Q, and the right unitary/orthogonal Schur vectors can be obtained with F.right or F.Z such that A=F.left*F.S*F.right' and B=F.left*F.T*F.right'. The generalized eigenvalues of A and B can be obtained with F.α./F.β.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.S, F.T, F.Q, F.Z, F.α, and F.β.

LinearAlgebra.schur — Function

schur(A) -> F::Schur

Computes the Schur factorization of the matrix A. The (quasi) triangular Schur factor can be obtained from the Schur object F with either F.Schur or F.T and the orthogonal/unitary Schur vectors can be obtained with F.vectors or F.Z such that A = F.vectors * F.Schur * F.vectors'. The eigenvalues of A can be obtained with F.values.

For real A, the Schur factorization is "quasitriangular", which means that it is upper-triangular except with 2×2 diagonal blocks for any conjugate pair of complex eigenvalues; this allows the factorization to be purely real even when there are complex eigenvalues. To obtain the (complex) purely upper-triangular Schur factorization from a real quasitriangular factorization, you can use Schur{Complex}(schur(A)).

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.T, F.Z, and F.values.

schur(A, B) -> F::GeneralizedSchur

Computes the Generalized Schur (or QZ) factorization of the matrices A and B. The (quasi) triangular Schur factors can be obtained from the Schur object F with F.S and F.T, the left unitary/orthogonal Schur vectors can be obtained with F.left or F.Q and the right unitary/orthogonal Schur vectors can be obtained with F.right or F.Z such that A=F.left*F.S*F.right' and B=F.left*F.T*F.right'. The generalized eigenvalues of A and B can be obtained with F.α./F.β.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components F.S, F.T, F.Q, F.Z, F.α, and F.β.

ordschur(F::Schur, select::Union{Vector{Bool},BitVector}) -> F::Schur

Reorders the Schur factorization F of a matrix A = Z*T*Z' according to the logical array select returning the reordered factorization F object. The selected eigenvalues appear in the leading diagonal of F.Schur and the corresponding leading columns of F.vectors form an orthogonal/unitary basis of the corresponding right invariant subspace. In the real case, a complex conjugate pair of eigenvalues must be either both included or both excluded via select.

ordschur(F::GeneralizedSchur, select::Union{Vector{Bool},BitVector}) -> F::GeneralizedSchur

Reorders the Generalized Schur factorization F of a matrix pair (A, B) = (Q*S*Z', Q*T*Z') according to the logical array select and returns a GeneralizedSchur object F. The selected eigenvalues appear in the leading diagonal of both F.S and F.T, and the left and right orthogonal/unitary Schur vectors are also reordered such that (A, B) = F.Q*(F.S, F.T)*F.Z' still holds and the generalized eigenvalues of A and B can still be obtained with F.α./F.β.

LinearAlgebra.ordschur! — Function

LinearAlgebra.SVD — Type

Matrix factorization type of the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix A. This is the return type of svd(_), the corresponding matrix factorization function.

If F::SVD is the factorization object, U, S, V and Vt can be obtained via F.U, F.S, F.V and F.Vt, such that A = U * Diagonal(S) * Vt. The singular values in S are sorted in descending order.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components U, S, and V.

LinearAlgebra.GeneralizedSVD — Type

GeneralizedSVD <: Factorization

Matrix factorization type of the generalized singular value decomposition (SVD) of two matrices A and B, such that A = F.U*F.D1*F.R0*F.Q' and B = F.V*F.D2*F.R0*F.Q'. This is the return type of svd(_, _), the corresponding matrix factorization function.

For an M-by-N matrix A and P-by-N matrix B,

U is a M-by-M orthogonal matrix,
V is a P-by-P orthogonal matrix,
Q is a N-by-N orthogonal matrix,
D1 is a M-by-(K+L) diagonal matrix with 1s in the first K entries,

R0 is a (K+L)-by-N matrix whose rightmost (K+L)-by-(K+L) block is nonsingular upper block triangular,

K+L is the effective numerical rank of the matrix [A; B].

Iterating the decomposition produces the components U, V, Q, D1, D2, and R0.

The entries of F.D1 and F.D2 are related, as explained in the LAPACK documentation for the generalized SVD and the xGGSVD3 routine which is called underneath (in LAPACK 3.6.0 and newer).

LinearAlgebra.svd — Function

svd(A; full::Bool = false, alg::Algorithm = default_svd_alg(A)) -> SVD

Compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of A and return an SVD object.

U, S, V and Vt can be obtained from the factorization F with F.U, F.S, F.V and F.Vt, such that A = U * Diagonal(S) * Vt. The algorithm produces Vt and hence Vt is more efficient to extract than V. The singular values in S are sorted in descending order.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components U, S, and V.

If full = false (default), a "thin" SVD is returned. For an $M \times N$ matrix A, in the full factorization U is $M \times M$ and V is $N \times N$, while in the thin factorization U is $M \times K$ and V is $N \times K$, where $K = \min(M,N)$ is the number of singular values.

If alg = DivideAndConquer() a divide-and-conquer algorithm is used to calculate the SVD. Another (typically slower but more accurate) option is alg = QRIteration().

Julia 1.3

The alg keyword argument requires Julia 1.3 or later.

Examples

julia> A = rand(4,3);

julia> F = svd(A); # Store the Factorization Object

julia> A ≈ F.U * Diagonal(F.S) * F.Vt
true

julia> U, S, V = F; # destructuring via iteration

julia> A ≈ U * Diagonal(S) * V'
true

julia> Uonly, = svd(A); # Store U only

julia> Uonly == U
true

svd(A, B) -> GeneralizedSVD

Compute the generalized SVD of A and B, returning a GeneralizedSVD factorization object F such that [A;B] = [F.U * F.D1; F.V * F.D2] * F.R0 * F.Q'

U is a M-by-M orthogonal matrix,
V is a P-by-P orthogonal matrix,
Q is a N-by-N orthogonal matrix,
D1 is a M-by-(K+L) diagonal matrix with 1s in the first K entries,
D2 is a P-by-(K+L) matrix whose top right L-by-L block is diagonal,
R0 is a (K+L)-by-N matrix whose rightmost (K+L)-by-(K+L) block is nonsingular upper block triangular,

K+L is the effective numerical rank of the matrix [A; B].

Iterating the decomposition produces the components U, V, Q, D1, D2, and R0.

The generalized SVD is used in applications such as when one wants to compare how much belongs to A vs. how much belongs to B, as in human vs yeast genome, or signal vs noise, or between clusters vs within clusters. (See Edelman and Wang for discussion: https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.00485)

It decomposes [A; B] into [UC; VS]H, where [UC; VS] is a natural orthogonal basis for the column space of [A; B], and H = RQ' is a natural non-orthogonal basis for the rowspace of [A;B], where the top rows are most closely attributed to the A matrix, and the bottom to the B matrix. The multi-cosine/sine matrices C and S provide a multi-measure of how much A vs how much B, and U and V provide directions in which these are measured.

Examples

julia> A = randn(3,2); B=randn(4,2);

julia> F = svd(A, B);

julia> U,V,Q,C,S,R = F;

julia> H = R*Q';

julia> [A; B] ≈ [U*C; V*S]*H
true

julia> [A; B] ≈ [F.U*F.D1; F.V*F.D2]*F.R0*F.Q'
true

julia> Uonly, = svd(A,B);

julia> U == Uonly
true

LinearAlgebra.svd! — Function

LinearAlgebra.Givens — Type

LinearAlgebra.Givens(i1,i2,c,s) -> G

A Givens rotation linear operator. The fields c and s represent the cosine and sine of the rotation angle, respectively. The Givens type supports left multiplication G*A and conjugated transpose right multiplication A*G'. The type doesn't have a size and can therefore be multiplied with matrices of arbitrary size as long as i2<=size(A,2) for G*A or i2<=size(A,1) for A*G'.

`tM`	Destination	Source
`'N'`	`B[ir_dest, jr_dest]`	`transpose(M)[jr_src, ir_src]`
`'T'`	`B[ir_dest, jr_dest]`	`M[jr_src, ir_src]`
`'C'`	`B[ir_dest, jr_dest]`	`conj(M)[jr_src, ir_src]`

Low-level matrix operations

In many cases there are in-place versions of matrix operations that allow you to supply a pre-allocated output vector or matrix. This is useful when optimizing critical code in order to avoid the overhead of repeated allocations. These in-place operations are suffixed with ! below (e.g. mul!) according to the usual Julia convention.

LinearAlgebra.mul! — Function

mul!(Y, A, B) -> Y

Calculates the matrix-matrix or matrix-vector product $A B$ and stores the result in Y, overwriting the existing value of Y. Note that Y must not be aliased with either A or B.

Examples

julia> A = [1.0 2.0; 3.0 4.0]; B = [1.0 1.0; 1.0 1.0]; Y = similar(B);

julia> mul!(Y, A, B) === Y
true

julia> Y
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 3.0  3.0
 7.0  7.0

julia> Y == A * B
true

Implementation

For custom matrix and vector types, it is recommended to implement 5-argument mul! rather than implementing 3-argument mul! directly if possible.

mul!(C, A, B, α, β) -> C

Combined inplace matrix-matrix or matrix-vector multiply-add $A B α + C β$. The result is stored in C by overwriting it. Note that C must not be aliased with either A or B.

Julia 1.3

Five-argument mul! requires at least Julia 1.3.

Examples

julia> A = [1.0 2.0; 3.0 4.0]; B = [1.0 1.0; 1.0 1.0]; C = [1.0 2.0; 3.0 4.0];

julia> α, β = 100.0, 10.0;

julia> mul!(C, A, B, α, β) === C

 730.0  740.0

julia> C_original = [1.0 2.0; 3.0 4.0]; # A copy of the original value of C

LinearAlgebra.lmul! — Function

lmul!(a::Number, B::AbstractArray)

lmul!(A, B)

LinearAlgebra.ldiv! — Function

ldiv!(Y, A, B) -> Y

Compute A \ B in-place and store the result in Y, returning the result.

The argument A should not be a matrix. Rather, instead of matrices it should be a factorization object (e.g. produced by factorize or cholesky). The reason for this is that factorization itself is both expensive and typically allocates memory (although it can also be done in-place via, e.g., lu!), and performance-critical situations requiring ldiv! usually also require fine-grained control over the factorization of A.

Note

Certain structured matrix types, such as Diagonal and UpperTriangular, are permitted, as these are already in a factorized form

Examples

julia> A = [1 2.2 4; 3.1 0.2 3; 4 1 2];

julia> X = [1; 2.5; 3];

julia> Y = zero(X);

julia> ldiv!(Y, qr(A), X);

julia> Y ≈ A\X
true

ldiv!(A, B)

Note

Certain structured matrix types, such as Diagonal and UpperTriangular, are permitted, as these are already in a factorized form

julia> X = [1; 2.5; 3];

julia> Y = copy(X);

julia> ldiv!(qr(A), X);

julia> X ≈ A\Y
true

ldiv!(a::Number, B::AbstractArray)

2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 1.0  2.0
 3.0  4.0

julia> ldiv!(2.0, B)

LinearAlgebra.rdiv! — Function

rdiv!(A, B)

Compute A / B in-place and overwriting A to store the result.

The argument B should not be a matrix. Rather, instead of matrices it should be a factorization object (e.g. produced by factorize or cholesky). The reason for this is that factorization itself is both expensive and typically allocates memory (although it can also be done in-place via, e.g., lu!), and performance-critical situations requiring rdiv! usually also require fine-grained control over the factorization of B.

Note

Certain structured matrix types, such as Diagonal and UpperTriangular, are permitted, as these are already in a factorized form

rdiv!(A::AbstractArray, b::Number)

BLAS functions

In Julia (as in much of scientific computation), dense linear-algebra operations are based on the LAPACK library, which in turn is built on top of basic linear-algebra building-blocks known as the BLAS. There are highly optimized implementations of BLAS available for every computer architecture, and sometimes in high-performance linear algebra routines it is useful to call the BLAS functions directly.

LinearAlgebra.BLAS provides wrappers for some of the BLAS functions. Those BLAS functions that overwrite one of the input arrays have names ending in '!'. Usually, a BLAS function has four methods defined, for Float32, Float64, ComplexF32, and ComplexF64 arrays.

BLAS character arguments

Many BLAS functions accept arguments that determine whether to transpose an argument (trans), which triangle of a matrix to reference (uplo or ul), whether the diagonal of a triangular matrix can be assumed to be all ones (dA) or which side of a matrix multiplication the input argument belongs on (side). The possibilities are:

Multiplication order

`side`	Meaning
`'L'`	The argument goes on the left side of a matrix-matrix operation.
`'R'`	The argument goes on the right side of a matrix-matrix operation.

Triangle referencing

`uplo`/`ul`	Meaning
`'U'`	Only the upper triangle of the matrix will be used.
`'L'`	Only the lower triangle of the matrix will be used.

Transposition operation

`trans`/`tX`	Meaning
`'N'`	The input matrix `X` is not transposed or conjugated.
`'T'`	The input matrix `X` will be transposed.
`'C'`	The input matrix `X` will be conjugated and transposed.

Unit diagonal

`diag`/`dX`	Meaning
`'N'`	The diagonal values of the matrix `X` will be read.
`'U'`	The diagonal of the matrix `X` is assumed to be all ones.

If uplo = L, e_ is the subdiagonal. If compq = N, only the singular values are found. If compq = I, the singular values and vectors are found. If compq = P, the singular values and vectors are found in compact form. Only works for real types.

Returns the singular values in d, and if compq = P, the compact singular vectors in iq.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.gecon! — Function

gecon!(normtype, A, anorm)

Finds the reciprocal condition number of matrix A. If normtype = I, the condition number is found in the infinity norm. If normtype = O or 1, the condition number is found in the one norm. A must be the result of getrf! and anorm is the norm of A in the relevant norm.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.gehrd! — Function

gehrd!(ilo, ihi, A) -> (A, tau)

Converts a matrix A to Hessenberg form. If A is balanced with gebal! then ilo and ihi are the outputs of gebal!. Otherwise they should be ilo = 1 and ihi = size(A,2). tau contains the elementary reflectors of the factorization.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.orghr! — Function

orghr!(ilo, ihi, A, tau)

Explicitly finds Q, the orthogonal/unitary matrix from gehrd!. ilo, ihi, A, and tau must correspond to the input/output to gehrd!.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.gees! — Function

gees!(jobvs, A) -> (A, vs, w)

Computes the eigenvalues (jobvs = N) or the eigenvalues and Schur vectors (jobvs = V) of matrix A. A is overwritten by its Schur form.

Returns A, vs containing the Schur vectors, and w, containing the eigenvalues.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.gges! — Function

gges!(jobvsl, jobvsr, A, B) -> (A, B, alpha, beta, vsl, vsr)

Computes the generalized eigenvalues, generalized Schur form, left Schur vectors (jobsvl = V), or right Schur vectors (jobvsr = V) of A and B.

The generalized eigenvalues are returned in alpha and beta. The left Schur vectors are returned in vsl and the right Schur vectors are returned in vsr.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.gges3! — Function

gges3!(jobvsl, jobvsr, A, B) -> (A, B, alpha, beta, vsl, vsr)

Computes the generalized eigenvalues, generalized Schur form, left Schur vectors (jobsvl = V), or right Schur vectors (jobvsr = V) of A and B using a blocked algorithm. This function requires LAPACK 3.6.0.

The generalized eigenvalues are returned in alpha and beta. The left Schur vectors are returned in vsl and the right Schur vectors are returned in vsr.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.trexc! — Function

trexc!(compq, ifst, ilst, T, Q) -> (T, Q)
trexc!(ifst, ilst, T, Q) -> (T, Q)

Reorder the Schur factorization T of a matrix, such that the diagonal block of T with row index ifst is moved to row index ilst. If compq = V, the Schur vectors Q are reordered. If compq = N they are not modified. The 4-arg method calls the 5-arg method with compq = V.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.trsen! — Function

trsen!(job, compq, select, T, Q) -> (T, Q, w, s, sep)
trsen!(select, T, Q) -> (T, Q, w, s, sep)

Reorder the Schur factorization of a matrix and optionally finds reciprocal condition numbers. If job = N, no condition numbers are found. If job = E, only the condition number for this cluster of eigenvalues is found. If job = V, only the condition number for the invariant subspace is found. If job = B then the condition numbers for the cluster and subspace are found. If compq = V the Schur vectors Q are updated. If compq = N the Schur vectors are not modified. select determines which eigenvalues are in the cluster. The 3-arg method calls the 5-arg method with job = N and compq = V.

Returns T, Q, reordered eigenvalues in w, the condition number of the cluster of eigenvalues s, and the condition number of the invariant subspace sep.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.tgsen! — Function

tgsen!(select, S, T, Q, Z) -> (S, T, alpha, beta, Q, Z)

Reorders the vectors of a generalized Schur decomposition. select specifies the eigenvalues in each cluster.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.trsyl! — Function

trsyl!(transa, transb, A, B, C, isgn=1) -> (C, scale)

Solves the Sylvester matrix equation A * X +/- X * B = scale*C where A and B are both quasi-upper triangular. If transa = N, A is not modified. If transa = T, A is transposed. If transa = C, A is conjugate transposed. Similarly for transb and B. If isgn = 1, the equation A * X + X * B = scale * C is solved. If isgn = -1, the equation A * X - X * B = scale * C is solved.

Returns X (overwriting C) and scale.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK.hseqr! — Function

hseqr!(job, compz, ilo, ihi, H, Z) -> (H, Z, w)

Computes all eigenvalues and (optionally) the Schur factorization of a matrix reduced to Hessenberg form. If H is balanced with gebal! then ilo and ihi are the outputs of gebal!. Otherwise they should be ilo = 1 and ihi = size(H,2). tau contains the elementary reflectors of the factorization.
