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 following tables summarize the types of special matrices that have been implemented in Julia, as well as whether hooks to various optimized methods for them in LAPACK are available.

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

 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.

LQQR factorization of transpose(A)

GeneralizedSVDGeneralized SVD
SchurSchur decomposition
GeneralizedSchurGeneralized 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> 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.

See also LinearAlgebra.ZeroPivotException.

LinearAlgebra.NoPivotType
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.RowNonZeroType
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.RowMaximumType
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.ColumnNormType
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!.

See also muladd, dot.

Julia 1.7

These optimisations require at least Julia 1.7.

Base.:\Method
\(A, B)

Matrix division using a polyalgorithm. For input matrices A and B, the result X is such that A*X == B when A is square. The solver that is used depends upon the structure of A. If A is upper or lower triangular (or diagonal), no factorization of A is required and the system is solved with either forward or backward substitution. For non-triangular square matrices, an LU factorization is used.

For rectangular A the result is the minimum-norm least squares solution computed by a pivoted QR factorization of A and a rank estimate of A based on the R factor.

When A is sparse, a similar polyalgorithm is used. For indefinite matrices, the LDLt factorization does not use pivoting during the numerical factorization and therefore the procedure can fail even for invertible matrices.

See also: factorize, pinv.

Examples

julia> A = [1 0; 1 -2]; B = [32; -4];

julia> X = A \ B
2-element Vector{Float64}:
 32.0
 18.0

julia> A * X == B

Base.:/Method
A / B

Matrix right-division: A / B is equivalent to (B' \ A')' where \ is the left-division operator. For square matrices, the result X is such that A == X*B.

See also: rdiv!.

Examples

julia> A = Float64[1 4 5; 3 9 2]; B = Float64[1 4 2; 3 4 2; 8 7 1];

julia> X = A / B

LinearAlgebra.SingularExceptionType
SingularException

Exception thrown when the input matrix has one or more zero-valued eigenvalues, and is not invertible. A linear solve involving such a matrix cannot be computed. The info field indicates the location of (one of) the singular value(s).

LinearAlgebra.PosDefExceptionType
PosDefException

Exception thrown when the input matrix was not positive definite. Some linear algebra functions and factorizations are only applicable to positive definite matrices. The info field indicates the location of (one of) the eigenvalue(s) which is (are) less than/equal to 0.

LinearAlgebra.ZeroPivotExceptionType
ZeroPivotException <: Exception

Exception thrown when a matrix factorization/solve encounters a zero in a pivot (diagonal) position and cannot proceed. This may not mean that the matrix is singular: it may be fruitful to switch to a different factorization such as pivoted LU that can re-order variables to eliminate spurious zero pivots. The info field indicates the location of (one of) the zero pivot(s).

LinearAlgebra.RankDeficientExceptionType
RankDeficientException

Exception thrown when the input matrix is rank deficient. Some linear algebra functions, such as the Cholesky decomposition, are only applicable to matrices that are not rank deficient. The info field indicates the computed rank of the matrix.

LinearAlgebra.LAPACKExceptionType
LAPACKException

Generic LAPACK exception thrown either during direct calls to the LAPACK functions or during calls to other functions that use the LAPACK functions internally but lack specialized error handling. The info field contains additional information on the underlying error and depends on the LAPACK function that was invoked.

LinearAlgebra.dotFunction
dot(x, y)
x ⋅ y

Compute the dot product between two vectors. For complex vectors, the first vector is conjugated.

dot also works on arbitrary iterable objects, including arrays of any dimension, as long as dot is defined on the elements.

dot is semantically equivalent to sum(dot(vx,vy) for (vx,vy) in zip(x, y)), with the added restriction that the arguments must have equal lengths.

x ⋅ y (where can be typed by tab-completing \cdot in the REPL) is a synonym for dot(x, y).

Examples

julia> dot([1; 1], [2; 3])
5

julia> dot([im; im], [1; 1])
0 - 2im

julia> dot(1:5, 2:6)
70

julia> x = fill(2., (5,5));

julia> y = fill(3., (5,5));

julia> dot(x, y)
150.0
LinearAlgebra.dotMethod
dot(x, A, y)

Compute the generalized dot product dot(x, A*y) between two vectors x and y, without storing the intermediate result of A*y. As for the two-argument dot(_,_), this acts recursively. Moreover, for complex vectors, the first vector is conjugated.

Julia 1.4

Three-argument dot requires at least Julia 1.4.

Examples

julia> dot([1; 1], [1 2; 3 4], [2; 3])
26

julia> dot(1:5, reshape(1:25, 5, 5), 2:6)

LinearAlgebra.axpy!Function

julia> x = [1; 2; 3];

julia> y = [4; 5; 6];

LinearAlgebra.axpby!Function

Overwrite x with c*x + s*y and y with -conj(s)*x + c*y. Returns x and y.

Julia 1.5

rotate! requires at least Julia 1.5.

LinearAlgebra.reflect!Function
reflect!(x, y, c, s)

Overwrite x with c*x + s*y and y with conj(s)*x - c*y. Returns x and y.

Julia 1.5

reflect! requires at least Julia 1.5.

LinearAlgebra.factorizeFunction
factorize(A)

Compute a convenient factorization of A, based upon the type of the input matrix. factorize checks A to see if it is symmetric/triangular/etc. if A is passed as a generic matrix. factorize checks every element of A to verify/rule out each property. It will short-circuit as soon as it can rule out symmetry/triangular structure. The return value can be reused for efficient solving of multiple systems. For example: A=factorize(A); x=A\b; y=A\C.

  ⋅    ⋅    ⋅    ⋅   1.0

This returns a 5×5 Bidiagonal{Float64}, which can now be passed to other linear algebra functions (e.g. eigensolvers) which will use specialized methods for Bidiagonal types.

LinearAlgebra.DiagonalType
Diagonal(V::AbstractVector)

Construct a lazy matrix with V as its diagonal.

See also UniformScaling for the lazy identity matrix I, diagm to make a dense matrix, and diag to extract diagonal elements.

A one-column matrix is not treated like a vector, but instead calls the method Diagonal(A::AbstractMatrix) which extracts 1-element diag(A):

julia> A = transpose([7.0 13.0])

Construct a symmetric tridiagonal matrix from the diagonal (dv) and first sub/super-diagonal (ev), respectively. The result is of type SymTridiagonal and provides efficient specialized eigensolvers, but may be converted into a regular matrix with convert(Array, _) (or Array(_) for short).

For SymTridiagonal block matrices, the elements of dv are symmetrized. The argument ev is interpreted as the superdiagonal. Blocks from the subdiagonal are (materialized) transpose of the corresponding superdiagonal blocks.

LinearAlgebra.TridiagonalType
Tridiagonal(dl::V, d::V, du::V) where V <: AbstractVector

Construct a tridiagonal matrix from the first subdiagonal, diagonal, and first superdiagonal, respectively. The result is of type Tridiagonal and provides efficient specialized linear solvers, but may be converted into a regular matrix with convert(Array, _) (or Array(_) for short). The lengths of dl and du must be one less than the length of d.

Note

The subdiagonal dl and the superdiagonal du must not be aliased to each other. If aliasing is detected, the constructor will use a copy of du as its argument.

LinearAlgebra.SymmetricType
Symmetric(A::AbstractMatrix, uplo::Symbol=:U)

Construct a Symmetric view of the upper (if uplo = :U) or lower (if uplo = :L) triangle of the matrix A.

Symmetric views are mainly useful for real-symmetric matrices, for which specialized algorithms (e.g. for eigenproblems) are enabled for Symmetric types. More generally, see also Hermitian(A) for Hermitian matrices A == A', which is effectively equivalent to Symmetric for real matrices but is also useful for complex matrices. (Whereas complex Symmetric matrices are supported but have few if any specialized algorithms.)

To compute the symmetric part of a real matrix, or more generally the Hermitian part (A + A') / 2 of a real or complex matrix A, use hermitianpart.

Examples

julia> A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]

Note that Supper will not be equal to Slower unless A is itself symmetric (e.g. if A == transpose(A)).

LinearAlgebra.HermitianType
Hermitian(A::AbstractMatrix, uplo::Symbol=:U)

Construct a Hermitian view of the upper (if uplo = :U) or lower (if uplo = :L) triangle of the matrix A.

Note that Hupper will not be equal to Hlower unless A is itself Hermitian (e.g. if A == adjoint(A)).

All non-real parts of the diagonal will be ignored.

LinearAlgebra.UpperHessenbergType
UpperHessenberg(A::AbstractMatrix)

Construct an UpperHessenberg view of the matrix A. Entries of A below the first subdiagonal are ignored.

Julia 1.3

This type was added in Julia 1.3.

Efficient algorithms are implemented for H \ b, det(H), and similar.

See also the hessenberg function to factor any matrix into a similar upper-Hessenberg matrix.

If F::Hessenberg is the factorization object, the unitary matrix can be accessed with F.Q and the Hessenberg matrix with F.H. When Q is extracted, the resulting type is the HessenbergQ object, and may be converted to a regular matrix with convert(Array, _) (or Array(_) for short).

Iterating the decomposition produces the factors F.Q and F.H.

LinearAlgebra.LUType

ComponentDescription
F.LL (unit lower triangular) part of LU
F.UU (upper triangular) part of LU
F.p(right) permutation Vector
F.P(right) permutation Matrix

LinearAlgebra.luFunction
lu(A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC; check = true, q = nothing, control = get_umfpack_control()) -> F::UmfpackLU

Compute the LU factorization of a sparse matrix A.

For sparse A with real or complex element type, the return type of F is UmfpackLU{Tv, Ti}, with Tv = Float64 or ComplexF64 respectively and Ti is an integer type (Int32 or Int64).

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 permutation q can either be a permutation vector or nothing. If no permutation vector is provided or q is nothing, UMFPACK's default is used. If the permutation is not zero-based, a zero-based copy is made.

The control vector defaults to the Julia SparseArrays package's default configuration for UMFPACK (NB: this is modified from the UMFPACK defaults to disable iterative refinement), but can be changed by passing a vector of length UMFPACK_CONTROL, see the UMFPACK manual for possible configurations. For example to reenable iterative refinement:

umfpack_control = SparseArrays.UMFPACK.get_umfpack_control(Float64, Int64) # read Julia default configuration for a Float64 sparse matrix
SparseArrays.UMFPACK.show_umf_ctrl(umfpack_control) # optional - display values
umfpack_control[SparseArrays.UMFPACK.JL_UMFPACK_IRSTEP] = 2.0 # reenable iterative refinement (2 is UMFPACK default max iterative refinement steps)

Alu = lu(A; control = umfpack_control)
x = Alu \ b   # solve Ax = b, including UMFPACK iterative refinement

The individual components of the factorization F can be accessed by indexing:

ComponentDescription
LL (lower triangular) part of LU
UU (upper triangular) part of LU
pright permutation Vector
qleft permutation Vector
RsVector of scaling factors
:(L,U,p,q,Rs) components

The relation between F and A is

F.L*F.U == (F.Rs .* A)[F.p, F.q]

F further supports the following functions:

See also lu!

Note

lu(A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC) uses the UMFPACK[ACM832] library that is part of SuiteSparse. As this library only supports sparse matrices with Float64 or ComplexF64 elements, lu converts A into a copy that is of type SparseMatrixCSC{Float64} or SparseMatrixCSC{ComplexF64} as appropriate.

lu(A, pivot = RowMaximum(); check = true, allowsingular = false) -> F::LU

Compute the LU factorization of A.

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.

By default, with check = true, an error is also thrown when the decomposition produces valid factors, but the upper-triangular factor U is rank-deficient. This may be changed by passing allowsingular = true.

In most cases, if A is a subtype S of AbstractMatrix{T} with an element type T supporting +, -, * and /, the return type is LU{T,S{T}}.

In general, LU factorization involves a permutation of the rows of the matrix (corresponding to the F.p output described below), known as "pivoting" (because it corresponds to choosing which row contains the "pivot", the diagonal entry of F.U). One of the following pivoting strategies can be selected via the optional pivot argument:

  • RowMaximum() (default): the standard pivoting strategy; the pivot corresponds to the element of maximum absolute value among the remaining, to be factorized rows. This pivoting strategy requires the element type to also support abs and <. (This is generally the only numerically stable option for floating-point matrices.)
  • RowNonZero(): the pivot corresponds to the first non-zero element among the remaining, to be factorized rows. (This corresponds to the typical choice in hand calculations, and is also useful for more general algebraic number types that support iszero but not abs or <.)
  • NoPivot(): pivoting turned off (will fail if a zero entry is encountered in a pivot position, even when allowsingular = true).

The individual components of the factorization F can be accessed via getproperty:

ComponentDescription
F.LL (lower triangular) part of LU
F.UU (upper triangular) part of LU
F.p(right) permutation Vector
F.P(right) permutation Matrix

Iterating the factorization produces the components F.L, F.U, and F.p.

The relationship between F and A is

F.L*F.U == A[F.p, :]

F further supports the following functions:

LinearAlgebra.lu!Function
lu!(F::UmfpackLU, A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC; check=true, reuse_symbolic=true, q=nothing) -> F::UmfpackLU

Compute the LU factorization of a sparse matrix A, reusing the symbolic factorization of an already existing LU factorization stored in F. Unless reuse_symbolic is set to false, the sparse matrix A must have an identical nonzero pattern as the matrix used to create the LU factorization F, otherwise an error is thrown. If the size of A and F differ, all vectors will be resized accordingly.

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 permutation q can either be a permutation vector or nothing. If no permutation vector is provided or q is nothing, UMFPACK's default is used. If the permutation is not zero based, a zero based copy is made.

See also lu

Note

lu!(F::UmfpackLU, A::AbstractSparseMatrixCSC) uses the UMFPACK library that is part of SuiteSparse. As this library only supports sparse matrices with Float64 or ComplexF64 elements, lu! will automatically convert the types to those set by the LU factorization or SparseMatrixCSC{ComplexF64} as appropriate.

Julia 1.5

lu! for UmfpackLU requires at least Julia 1.5.

Examples

julia> A = sparse(Float64[1.0 2.0; 0.0 3.0]);

LinearAlgebra.CholeskyType
Cholesky <: Factorization

LinearAlgebra.CholeskyPivotedType
CholeskyPivoted

Matrix factorization type of the pivoted Cholesky factorization of a dense symmetric/Hermitian positive semi-definite matrix A. This is the return type of cholesky(_, ::RowMaximum), the corresponding matrix factorization function.

The triangular Cholesky factor can be obtained from the factorization F::CholeskyPivoted via F.L and F.U, and the permutation via F.p, where A[F.p, F.p] ≈ Ur' * Ur ≈ Lr * Lr' with Ur = F.U[1:F.rank, :] and Lr = F.L[:, 1:F.rank], or alternatively A ≈ Up' * Up ≈ Lp * Lp' with Up = F.U[1:F.rank, invperm(F.p)] and Lp = F.L[invperm(F.p), 1:F.rank].

The following functions are available for CholeskyPivoted objects: size, \, inv, det, and rank.

Iterating the decomposition produces the components L and U.

LinearAlgebra.choleskyFunction
cholesky(A, NoPivot(); check = true) -> Cholesky

Compute the Cholesky factorization of a dense symmetric positive definite matrix A and return a Cholesky factorization. The matrix A can either be a Symmetric or Hermitian AbstractMatrix or a perfectly symmetric or Hermitian AbstractMatrix.

The triangular Cholesky factor can be obtained from the factorization F via F.L and F.U, where A ≈ F.U' * F.U ≈ F.L * F.L'.

The following functions are available for Cholesky objects: size, \, inv, det, logdet and isposdef.

If you have a matrix A that is slightly non-Hermitian due to roundoff errors in its construction, wrap it in Hermitian(A) before passing it to cholesky in order to treat it as perfectly Hermitian.

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.

Compute the pivoted Cholesky factorization of a dense symmetric positive semi-definite matrix A and return a CholeskyPivoted factorization. The matrix A can either be a Symmetric or Hermitian AbstractMatrix or a perfectly symmetric or Hermitian AbstractMatrix.

The triangular Cholesky factor can be obtained from the factorization F via F.L and F.U, and the permutation via F.p, where A[F.p, F.p] ≈ Ur' * Ur ≈ Lr * Lr' with Ur = F.U[1:F.rank, :] and Lr = F.L[:, 1:F.rank], or alternatively A ≈ Up' * Up ≈ Lp * Lp' with Up = F.U[1:F.rank, invperm(F.p)] and Lp = F.L[invperm(F.p), 1:F.rank].

The following functions are available for CholeskyPivoted objects: size, \, inv, det, and rank.

The argument tol determines the tolerance for determining the rank. For negative values, the tolerance is the machine precision.

If you have a matrix A that is slightly non-Hermitian due to roundoff errors in its construction, wrap it in Hermitian(A) before passing it to cholesky in order to treat it as perfectly Hermitian.

cholesky(A::SparseMatrixCSC; shift = 0.0, check = true, perm = nothing) -> CHOLMOD.Factor

Compute the Cholesky factorization of a sparse positive definite matrix A. A must be a SparseMatrixCSC or a Symmetric/Hermitian view of a SparseMatrixCSC. Note that even if A doesn't have the type tag, it must still be symmetric or Hermitian. If perm is not given, a fill-reducing permutation is used. F = cholesky(A) is most frequently used to solve systems of equations with F\b, but also the methods diag, det, and logdet are defined for F. You can also extract individual factors from F, using F.L. However, since pivoting is on by default, the factorization is internally represented as A == P'*L*L'*P with a permutation matrix P; using just L without accounting for P will give incorrect answers. To include the effects of permutation, it's typically preferable to extract "combined" factors like PtL = F.PtL (the equivalent of P'*L) and LtP = F.UP (the equivalent of L'*P).

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.

Setting the optional shift keyword argument computes the factorization of A+shift*I instead of A. If the perm argument is provided, it should be a permutation of 1:size(A,1) giving the ordering to use (instead of CHOLMOD's default AMD ordering).

Examples

In the following example, the fill-reducing permutation used is [3, 2, 1]. If perm is set to 1:3 to enforce no permutation, the number of nonzero elements in the factor is 6.

ldlt(A::SparseMatrixCSC; shift = 0.0, check = true, perm=nothing) -> CHOLMOD.Factor

Compute the $LDL'$ factorization of a sparse matrix A. A must be a SparseMatrixCSC or a Symmetric/Hermitian view of a SparseMatrixCSC. Note that even if A doesn't have the type tag, it must still be symmetric or Hermitian. A fill-reducing permutation is used. F = ldlt(A) is most frequently used to solve systems of equations A*x = b with F\b. The returned factorization object F also supports the methods diag, det, logdet, and inv. You can extract individual factors from F using F.L. However, since pivoting is on by default, the factorization is internally represented as A == P'*L*D*L'*P with a permutation matrix P; using just L without accounting for P will give incorrect answers. To include the effects of permutation, it is typically preferable to extract "combined" factors like PtL = F.PtL (the equivalent of P'*L) and LtP = F.UP (the equivalent of L'*P). The complete list of supported factors is :L, :PtL, :D, :UP, :U, :LD, :DU, :PtLD, :DUP.

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.

Setting the optional shift keyword argument computes the factorization of A+shift*I instead of A. If the perm argument is provided, it should be a permutation of 1:size(A,1) giving the ordering to use (instead of CHOLMOD's default AMD ordering).

LinearAlgebra.QRType
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.QRCompactWYType
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.QRPivotedType
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.qrFunction
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.

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

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.LQType
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

LinearAlgebra.lqFunction
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).

LinearAlgebra.BunchKaufmanType
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.

LinearAlgebra.bunchkaufmanFunction
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.EigenType
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.

If F::GeneralizedEigen 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].)

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

Return the eigenvalues of A.

For general non-symmetric matrices it is possible to specify how the matrix is balanced before the eigenvalue calculation. The permute, scale, and sortby keywords are the same as for eigen.

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}, 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.eigmaxFunction
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.eigenFunction
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.

This corresponds to solving a generalized eigenvalue problem of the form Ax = λBx, where A, B are matrices, x is an eigenvector, and λ is an eigenvalue. (The kth generalized eigenvector can be obtained from the slice F.vectors[:, k].)

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

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

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. (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.

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.HessenbergType
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.hessenbergFunction
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.SchurType
Schur <: Factorization

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

LinearAlgebra.GeneralizedSchurType
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.schurFunction
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.

The generalized eigenvalues of A and B can be obtained with F.α./F.β.

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.GeneralizedSVDType

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,

  • 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.svdFunction
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

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

julia> Uonly == U

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';

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.

diagind(M::AbstractMatrix, indstyle::IndexStyle = IndexLinear())

An AbstractRange giving the indices of the kth diagonal of the matrix M. Optionally, an index style may be specified which determines the type of the range returned.

LinearAlgebra.diagmFunction
diagm(kv::Pair{<:Integer,<:AbstractVector}...)
diagm(m::Integer, n::Integer, kv::Pair{<:Integer,<:AbstractVector}...)

Construct a matrix from Pairs of diagonals and vectors. Vector kv.second will be placed on the kv.first diagonal. By default the matrix is square and its size is inferred from kv, but a non-square size m×n (padded with zeros as needed) can be specified by passing m,n as the first arguments. For repeated diagonal indices kv.first the values in the corresponding vectors kv.second will be added.

diagm constructs a full matrix; if you want storage-efficient versions with fast arithmetic, see Diagonal, Bidiagonal Tridiagonal and SymTridiagonal.

LinearAlgebra.rankFunction
rank(::QRSparse{Tv,Ti}) -> Ti

Return the rank of the QR factorization

rank(S::SparseMatrixCSC{Tv,Ti}; [tol::Real]) -> Ti

Calculate rank of S by calculating its QR factorization. Values smaller than tol are considered as zero. See SPQR's manual.

rank(A::AbstractMatrix; atol::Real=0, rtol::Real=atol>0 ? 0 : n*ϵ)
rank(A::AbstractMatrix, rtol::Real)

Compute the numerical rank of a matrix by counting how many outputs of svdvals(A) are greater than max(atol, rtol*σ₁) where σ₁ is A's largest calculated singular value. atol and rtol are the absolute and relative tolerances, respectively. The default relative tolerance is n*ϵ, where n is the size of the smallest dimension of A, and ϵ is the eps of the element type of A.

Note

Numerical rank can be a sensitive and imprecise characterization of ill-conditioned matrices with singular values that are close to the threshold tolerance max(atol, rtol*σ₁). In such cases, slight perturbations to the singular-value computation or to the matrix can change the result of rank by pushing one or more singular values across the threshold. These variations can even occur due to changes in floating-point errors between different Julia versions, architectures, compilers, or operating systems.

Julia 1.1

The atol and rtol keyword arguments requires at least Julia 1.1. In Julia 1.0 rtol is available as a positional argument, but this will be deprecated in Julia 2.0.

LinearAlgebra.normFunction
norm(A, p::Real=2)

For any iterable container A (including arrays of any dimension) of numbers (or any element type for which norm is defined), compute the p-norm (defaulting to p=2) as if A were a vector of the corresponding length.

The p-norm is defined as

\[\|A\|_p = \left( \sum_{i=1}^n | a_i | ^p \right)^{1/p}\]

with $a_i$ the entries of $A$, $| a_i |$ the norm of $a_i$, and $n$ the length of $A$. Since the p-norm is computed using the norms of the entries of A, the p-norm of a vector of vectors is not compatible with the interpretation of it as a block vector in general if p != 2.

p can assume any numeric value (even though not all values produce a mathematically valid vector norm). In particular, norm(A, Inf) returns the largest value in abs.(A), whereas norm(A, -Inf) returns the smallest. If A is a matrix and p=2, then this is equivalent to the Frobenius norm.

The second argument p is not necessarily a part of the interface for norm, i.e. a custom type may only implement norm(A) without second argument.

Use opnorm to compute the operator norm of a matrix.

julia> v = [3, -2, 6]
3-element Vector{Int64}:
  3

julia> norm(hcat(v,v), Inf) == norm(vcat(v,v), Inf) != norm([v,v], Inf)

norm(x::Number, p::Real=2)

LinearAlgebra.opnormFunction
opnorm(A::AbstractMatrix, p::Real=2)

Compute the operator norm (or matrix norm) induced by the vector p-norm, where valid values of p are 1, 2, or Inf. (Note that for sparse matrices, p=2 is currently not implemented.) Use norm to compute the Frobenius norm.

When p=1, the operator norm is the maximum absolute column sum of A:

\[\|A\|_1 = \max_{1 ≤ j ≤ n} \sum_{i=1}^m | a_{ij} |\]

with $a_{ij}$ the entries of $A$, and $m$ and $n$ its dimensions.

When p=2, the operator norm is the spectral norm, equal to the largest singular value of A.

When p=Inf, the operator norm is the maximum absolute row sum of A:

\[\|A\|_\infty = \max_{1 ≤ i ≤ m} \sum _{j=1}^n | a_{ij} |\]

Examples

julia> A = [1 -2 -3; 2 3 -1]
2×3 Matrix{Int64}:
 1  -2  -3
 2   3  -1

julia> opnorm(A, Inf)
6.0

julia> opnorm(A, 1)
5.0
opnorm(x::Number, p::Real=2)

For numbers, return $\left( |x|^p \right)^{1/p}$. This is equivalent to norm.

opnorm(A::Adjoint{<:Any,<:AbstractVector}, q::Real=2)
opnorm(A::Transpose{<:Any,<:AbstractVector}, q::Real=2)

For Adjoint/Transpose-wrapped vectors, return the operator $q$-norm of A, which is equivalent to the p-norm with value p = q/(q-1). They coincide at p = q = 2. Use norm to compute the p norm of A as a vector.

The difference in norm between a vector space and its dual arises to preserve the relationship between duality and the dot product, and the result is consistent with the operator p-norm of a 1 × n matrix.

julia> v = [1; im];

julia> vc = v';

LinearAlgebra.condskeelFunction
condskeel(M, [x, p::Real=Inf])

\[\kappa_S(M, p) = \left\Vert \left\vert M \right\vert \left\vert M^{-1} \right\vert \right\Vert_p \\ \kappa_S(M, x, p) = \frac{\left\Vert \left\vert M \right\vert \left\vert M^{-1} \right\vert \left\vert x \right\vert \right\Vert_p}{\left \Vert x \right \Vert_p}\]

Skeel condition number $\kappa_S$ of the matrix M, optionally with respect to the vector x, as computed using the operator p-norm. $\left\vert M \right\vert$ denotes the matrix of (entry wise) absolute values of $M$; $\left\vert M \right\vert_{ij} = \left\vert M_{ij} \right\vert$. Valid values for p are 1, 2 and Inf (default).

This quantity is also known in the literature as the Bauer condition number, relative condition number, or componentwise relative condition number.

LinearAlgebra.pinvFunction
pinv(M; atol::Real=0, rtol::Real=atol>0 ? 0 : n*ϵ)
pinv(M, rtol::Real) = pinv(M; rtol=rtol) # to be deprecated in Julia 2.0

Computes the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse.

For matrices M with floating point elements, it is convenient to compute the pseudoinverse by inverting only singular values greater than max(atol, rtol*σ₁) where σ₁ is the largest singular value of M.

The optimal choice of absolute (atol) and relative tolerance (rtol) varies both with the value of M and the intended application of the pseudoinverse. The default relative tolerance is n*ϵ, where n is the size of the smallest dimension of M, and ϵ is the eps of the element type of M.

For inverting dense ill-conditioned matrices in a least-squares sense, rtol = sqrt(eps(real(float(oneunit(eltype(M)))))) is recommended.

For more information, see [issue8859], [B96], [S84], [KY88].

Computes a basis for the nullspace of M by including the singular vectors of M whose singular values have magnitudes smaller than max(atol, rtol*σ₁), where σ₁ is M's largest singular value.

By default, the relative tolerance rtol is n*ϵ, where n is the size of the smallest dimension of M, and ϵ is the eps of the element type of M.

Base.kronFunction
kron(A, B)

Computes the Kronecker product of two vectors, matrices or numbers.

For real vectors v and w, the Kronecker product is related to the outer product by kron(v,w) == vec(w * transpose(v)) or w * transpose(v) == reshape(kron(v,w), (length(w), length(v))). Note how the ordering of v and w differs on the left and right of these expressions (due to column-major storage). For complex vectors, the outer product w * v' also differs by conjugation of v.

Base.expMethod
exp(A::AbstractMatrix)

Compute the matrix exponential of A, defined by

\[e^A = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{A^n}{n!}.\]

For symmetric or Hermitian A, an eigendecomposition (eigen) is used, otherwise the scaling and squaring algorithm (see [H05]) is chosen.

Base.logMethod
log(A::AbstractMatrix)

If A has no negative real eigenvalue, compute the principal matrix logarithm of A, i.e. the unique matrix $X$ such that $e^X = A$ and $-\pi < Im(\lambda) < \pi$ for all the eigenvalues $\lambda$ of $X$. If A has nonpositive eigenvalues, a nonprincipal matrix function is returned whenever possible.

If A is symmetric or Hermitian, its eigendecomposition (eigen) is used, if A is triangular an improved version of the inverse scaling and squaring method is employed (see [AH12] and [AHR13]). If A is real with no negative eigenvalues, then the real Schur form is computed. Otherwise, the complex Schur form is computed. Then the upper (quasi-)triangular algorithm in [AHR13] is used on the upper (quasi-)triangular factor.

sqrt(A::AbstractMatrix)

If A has no negative real eigenvalues, compute the principal matrix square root of A, that is the unique matrix $X$ with eigenvalues having positive real part such that $X^2 = A$. Otherwise, a nonprincipal square root is returned.

If A is real-symmetric or Hermitian, its eigendecomposition (eigen) is used to compute the square root. For such matrices, eigenvalues λ that appear to be slightly negative due to roundoff errors are treated as if they were zero. More precisely, matrices with all eigenvalues ≥ -rtol*(max |λ|) are treated as semidefinite (yielding a Hermitian square root), with negative eigenvalues taken to be zero. rtol is a keyword argument to sqrt (in the Hermitian/real-symmetric case only) that defaults to machine precision scaled by size(A,1).

Otherwise, the square root is determined by means of the Björck-Hammarling method [BH83], which computes the complex Schur form (schur) and then the complex square root of the triangular factor. If a real square root exists, then an extension of this method [H87] that computes the real Schur form and then the real square root of the quasi-triangular factor is instead used.

julia> A = [4 0; 0 4]
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:

Base.Math.cbrtMethod
cbrt(A::AbstractMatrix{<:Real})

Computes the real-valued cube root of a real-valued matrix A. If T = cbrt(A), then we have T*T*T ≈ A, see example given below.

If A is symmetric, i.e., of type HermOrSym{<:Real}, then (eigen) is used to find the cube root. Otherwise, a specialized version of the p-th root algorithm [S03] is utilized, which exploits the real-valued Schur decomposition (schur) to compute the cube root.

LinearAlgebra.checksquare(A)

Check that a matrix is square, then return its common dimension. For multiple arguments, return a vector.

Examples

LinearAlgebra.peakflopsFunction
LinearAlgebra.peakflops(n::Integer=4096; eltype::DataType=Float64, ntrials::Integer=3, parallel::Bool=false)

peakflops computes the peak flop rate of the computer by using double precision gemm!. By default, if no arguments are specified, it multiplies two Float64 matrices of size n x n, where n = 4096. If the underlying BLAS is using multiple threads, higher flop rates are realized. The number of BLAS threads can be set with BLAS.set_num_threads(n).

If the keyword argument eltype is provided, peakflops will construct matrices with elements of type eltype for calculating the peak flop rate.

By default, peakflops will use the best timing from 3 trials. If the ntrials keyword argument is provided, peakflops will use those many trials for picking the best timing.

If the keyword argument parallel is set to true, peakflops is run in parallel on all the worker processors. The flop rate of the entire parallel computer is returned. When running in parallel, only 1 BLAS thread is used. The argument n still refers to the size of the problem that is solved on each processor.

Julia 1.1

This function requires at least Julia 1.1. In Julia 1.0 it is available from the standard library InteractiveUtils.

LinearAlgebra.hermitianpartFunction
hermitianpart(A::AbstractMatrix, uplo::Symbol=:U) -> Hermitian

Return the Hermitian part of the square matrix A, defined as (A + A') / 2, as a Hermitian matrix. For real matrices A, this is also known as the symmetric part of A; it is also sometimes called the "operator real part".

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.

 310.0  320.0
 730.0  740.0

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

julia> C == A * B * α + C_original * β
true
LinearAlgebra.lmul!Function
lmul!(a::Number, B::AbstractArray)

Scale an array B by a scalar a overwriting B in-place. Use rmul! to multiply scalar from right. The scaling operation respects the semantics of the multiplication * between a and an element of B. In particular, this also applies to multiplication involving non-finite numbers such as NaN and ±Inf.

Julia 1.1

Prior to Julia 1.1, NaN and ±Inf entries in B were treated inconsistently.

Examples

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

julia> lmul!(2, B)
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:

julia> lmul!(0.0, [Inf])
1-element Vector{Float64}:

julia> A = UpperTriangular([1 2; 0 3]);

julia> lmul!(A, B);

julia> B
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
 2  1

2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 3.0  4.0
 1.0  2.0
LinearAlgebra.rmul!Function
rmul!(A::AbstractArray, b::Number)

Scale an array A by a scalar b overwriting A in-place. Use lmul! to multiply scalar from left. The scaling operation respects the semantics of the multiplication * between an element of A and b. In particular, this also applies to multiplication involving non-finite numbers such as NaN and ±Inf.

 2.0  1.0
 4.0  3.0
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)

Compute A \ B in-place and overwriting B to store 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).

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

 1.5  2.0
ldiv!(A::Tridiagonal, B::AbstractVecOrMat) -> B

Compute A \ B in-place by Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting and store the result in B, returning the result. In the process, the diagonals of A are overwritten as well.

Julia 1.11

ldiv! for Tridiagonal left-hand sides requires at least Julia 1.11.

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.

 1.0  2.0
 3.0  4.0

julia> rdiv!(A, 2.0)
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 0.5  1.0
 1.5  2.0

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

sideMeaning
'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/ulMeaning
'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/tXMeaning
'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/dXMeaning
'N'The diagonal values of the matrix X will be read.
'U'The diagonal of the matrix X is assumed to be all ones.
LinearAlgebra.BLAS.set_num_threadsFunction
set_num_threads(n::Integer)
set_num_threads(::Nothing)

Set the number of threads the BLAS library should use equal to n::Integer.

Also accepts nothing, in which case julia tries to guess the default number of threads. Passing nothing is discouraged and mainly exists for historical reasons.

BLAS functions can be divided into three groups, also called three levels, depending on when they were first proposed, the type of input parameters, and the complexity of the operation.

Level 1 BLAS functions

The level 1 BLAS functions were first proposed in [(Lawson, 1979)][Lawson-1979] and define operations between scalars and vectors.

[Lawson-1979]: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/355841.355847

10.0
LinearAlgebra.BLAS.dotuFunction
dotu(n, X, incx, Y, incy)

1.0
LinearAlgebra.BLAS.asumFunction
asum(n, X, incx)

Sum of the magnitudes of the first n elements of array X with stride incx.

For a real array, the magnitude is the absolute value. For a complex array, the magnitude is the sum of the absolute value of the real part and the absolute value of the imaginary part.

Examples

julia> BLAS.asum(5, fill(1.0im, 10), 2)
5.0

julia> BLAS.asum(2, fill(1.0im, 10), 5)
2.0
LinearAlgebra.BLAS.iamaxFunction
iamax(n, dx, incx)

LAPACK functions

LinearAlgebra.LAPACK provides wrappers for some of the LAPACK functions for linear algebra. Those functions that overwrite one of the input arrays have names ending in '!'.

Usually a function has 4 methods defined, one each for Float64, Float32, ComplexF64 and ComplexF32 arrays.
