## 68.1 Introduction to linearalgebra

`linearalgebra` is a collection of functions for linear algebra.

Example:

    (%i1) M : matrix ([1, 2], [1, 2]);
                                [ 1  2 ]

## 68.2 Functions and Variables for linearalgebra

Function: addmatrices (f, M_1, …, M_n)

  Using the function f as the addition function, return the sum of the matrices M_1, …, M_n. The function f must accept any number of arguments (a Maxima nary function).

  Examples:

      (%i1) m1 : matrix([1,2],[3,4])$
      (%i2) m2 : matrix([7,8],[9,10])$
      (%i3) addmatrices('max,m1,m2);
      (%o3) matrix([7,8],[9,10])
      (%i4) addmatrices('max,m1,m2,5*m1);
      (%o4) matrix([7,10],[15,20])

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: blockmatrixp (M)

  Return true if and only if M is a matrix and every entry of M is a matrix.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra · Predicate functions

Function: columnop (M, i, j, theta)

  If M is a matrix, return the matrix that results from doing the column operation `C_i <- C_i - theta * C_j`. If M doesn't have a row i or j, signal an error.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: columnswap (M, i, j)

  If M is a matrix, swap columns i and j. If M doesn't have a column i or j, signal an error.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: columnspace (M)

  If M is a matrix, return `span (v_1, ..., v_n)`, where the set `{v_1, ..., v_n}` is a basis for the column space of M. The span of the empty set is `{0}`. Thus, when the column space has only one member, return `span ()`.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: cholesky
`cholesky` (M)
`cholesky` (M, field)

  Return the Cholesky factorization of the matrix selfadjoint (or hermitian) matrix M. The second argument defaults to 'generalring.' For a description of the possible values for field, see `lu_factor`.

  Categories: Matrix decompositions · Package linearalgebra

Function: ctranspose (M)

  Return the complex conjugate transpose of the matrix M. The function `ctranspose` uses `matrix_element_transpose` to transpose each matrix element.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: diag_matrix (d_1, d_2, …, d_n)

  Return a diagonal matrix with diagonal entries d_1, d_2, …, d_n. When the diagonal entries are matrices, the zero entries of the returned matrix are zero matrices of the appropriate size; for example:

      (%i1) diag_matrix(diag_matrix(1,2),diag_matrix(3,4));

                                  [ [ 1  0 ]  [ 0  0 ] ]
                                  [ [      ]  [      ] ]
                                  [ [ 0  2 ]  [ 0  0 ] ]

                                  [ [      ]  [      ] ]
                                  [ [ 0  0 ]  [ 0  4 ] ]
      (%i2) diag_matrix(p,q);

                                         [ p  0 ]
      (%o2)                              [      ]
                                         [ 0  q ]

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: dotproduct (u, v)

  Return the dotproduct of vectors u and v. This is the same as `conjugate (transpose (u)) . v`. The arguments u and v must be column vectors.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: eigens_by_jacobi
`eigens_by_jacobi` (A)
`eigens_by_jacobi` (A, field_type)

  Computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A by the method of Jacobi rotations. A must be a symmetric matrix (but it need not be positive definite nor positive semidefinite). field_type indicates the computational field, either `floatfield` or `bigfloatfield`. If field_type is not specified, it defaults to `floatfield`.

  The elements of A must be numbers or expressions which evaluate to numbers via `float` or `bfloat` (depending on field_type).

  Examples:

      (%i1) S: matrix([1/sqrt(2), 1/sqrt(2)],[-1/sqrt(2), 1/sqrt(2)]);
                           [     1         1    ]

  Return an identity matrix that has the same shape as the matrix M. The diagonal entries of the identity matrix are the multiplicative identity of the field fld; the default for fld is generalring.

  The first argument M should be a square matrix or a non-matrix. When M is a matrix, each entry of M can be a square matrix - thus M can be a blocked Maxima matrix. The matrix can be blocked to any (finite) depth.

Function: locate_matrix_entry (M, r_1, c_1, r_2, c_2, f, rel)

  The first argument must be a matrix; the arguments r_1 through c_2 determine a sub-matrix of M that consists of rows r_1 through r_2 and columns c_1 through c_2.

  Find a entry in the sub-matrix M that satisfies some property. Three cases:

  (1) `rel = 'bool` and f a predicate:

  Scan the sub-matrix from left to right then top to bottom, and return the index of the first entry that satisfies the predicate f. If no matrix entry satisfies f, return `false`.

  (2) `rel = 'max` and f real-valued:

  Scan the sub-matrix looking for an entry that maximizes f. Return the index of a maximizing entry.

  (3) `rel = 'min` and f real-valued:

  Scan the sub-matrix looking for an entry that minimizes f. Return the index of a minimizing entry.

Function: lu_backsub (M, b)

  When `M = lu_factor (A, field)`, then `lu_backsub (M, b)` solves the linear system `A x = b`.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: lu_factor (M, field)

  Return a list of the form `[LU, perm, fld]`, or `[LU, perm, fld, lower-cnd upper-cnd]`, where

  (1) The matrix LU contains the factorization of M in a packed form. Packed form means three things: First, the rows of LU are permuted according to the list perm. If, for example, perm is the list `[3,2,1]`, the actual first row of the LU factorization is the third row of the matrix LU. Second, the lower triangular factor of m is the lower triangular part of LU with the diagonal entries replaced by all ones. Third, the upper triangular factor of M is the upper triangular part of LU.

  (2) When the field is either `floatfield` or `complexfield`, the numbers lower-cnd and upper-cnd are lower and upper bounds for the infinity norm condition number of M. For all fields, the condition number might not be estimated; for such fields, `lu_factor` returns a two item list. Both the lower and upper bounds can differ from their true values by arbitrarily large factors. (See also `mat_cond`.)

  The argument M must be a square matrix.

  The optional argument fld must be a symbol that determines a ring or field. The pre-defined fields and rings are:

  (a) `generalring` - the ring of Maxima expressions,

  (b) `floatfield` - the field of floating point numbers of the type double,

  (c) `complexfield` - the field of complex floating point numbers of the type double,

  (d) `crering` - the ring of Maxima CRE expressions,

  (e) `rationalfield` - the field of rational numbers,

  (f) `runningerror` - track the all floating point rounding errors,

  (g) `noncommutingring` - the ring of Maxima expressions where multiplication is the non-commutative dot operator.

  When the field is `floatfield`, `complexfield`, or `runningerror`, the algorithm uses partial pivoting; for all other fields, rows are switched only when needed to avoid a zero pivot.

  Floating point addition arithmetic isn't associative, so the meaning of 'field' differs from the mathematical definition.

  A member of the field `runningerror` is a two member Maxima list of the form `[x,n]`,where x is a floating point number and `n` is an integer. The relative difference between the 'true' value of `x` and `x` is approximately bounded by the machine epsilon times `n`. The running error bound drops some terms that of the order the square of the machine epsilon.

  There is no user-interface for defining a new field. A user that is familiar with Common Lisp should be able to define a new field. To do this, a user must define functions for the arithmetic operations and functions for converting from the field representation to Maxima and back. Additionally, for ordered fields (where partial pivoting will be used), a user must define functions for the magnitude and for comparing field members. After that all that remains is to define a Common Lisp structure `mring`. The file `mring` has many examples.

  To compute the factorization, the first task is to convert each matrix entry to a member of the indicated field. When conversion isn't possible, the factorization halts with an error message. Members of the field needn't be Maxima expressions. Members of the `complexfield`, for example, are Common Lisp complex numbers. Thus after computing the factorization, the matrix entries must be converted to Maxima expressions.

  See also `get_lu_factors`.

Function: mat_cond
`mat_cond` (M, 1)
`mat_cond` (M, inf)

  Return the p-norm matrix condition number of the matrix m. The allowed values for p are 1 and inf. This function uses the LU factorization to invert the matrix m. Thus the running time for `mat_cond` is proportional to the cube of the matrix size; `lu_factor` determines lower and upper bounds for the infinity norm condition number in time proportional to the square of the matrix size.

  Return the matrix p-norm of the matrix M. The allowed values for p are 1, `inf`, and `frobenius` (the Frobenius matrix norm). The matrix M should be an unblocked matrix.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: matrixp

Function: mat_trace (M)

  Return the trace of the matrix M. If M isn't a matrix, return a noun form. When M is a block matrix, `mat_trace(M)` returns the same value as does `mat_trace(mat_unblocker(m))`.

  Categories: Package linearalgebra

Function: mat_unblocker (M)

  If M is a block matrix, unblock M one level. If M is a matrix, `mat_unblocker (M)` returns M; otherwise, signal an error.

  Thus if each entry of M is matrix, `mat_unblocker (M)` returns an unblocked matrix, but if each entry of M is a block matrix, `mat_unblocker (M)` returns a block matrix with one less level of blocking.

  If you use block matrices, most likely you'll want to set `matrix_element_mult` to `"."` and `matrix_element_transpose` to `'transpose`. See also `mat_fullunblocker`.

  Example:

      (%i1) A : matrix ([1, 2], [3, 4]);

Function: polynomialp
`polynomialp` (p, L, coeffp, exponp)
`polynomialp` (p, L, coeffp)
`polynomialp` (p, L)

  Return `true` if p is a polynomial in the variables in the list L. The predicate coeffp must evaluate to `true` for each coefficient, and the predicate exponp must evaluate to `true` for all exponents of the variables in L. If you want to use a non-default value for exponp, you must supply coeffp with a value even if you want to use the default for coeffp.

  The command `polynomialp (p, L, coeffp)` is equivalent to `polynomialp (p, L, coeffp, 'nonnegintegerp)` and the command `polynomialp (p, L)` is equivalent to `polynomialp (p, L, 'constantp, 'nonnegintegerp)`.

  The polynomial needn't be expanded:

      (%o1)                         true
      (%i2) polynomialp ((x + 1)*(x + 2)^a, [x]);
      (%o2)                         false

  An example using non-default values for coeffp and exponp:

      (%i1) polynomialp ((x + 1)*(x + 2)^(3/2), [x], numberp, numberp);
      (%o1)                         true
      (%i2) polynomialp ((x^(1/2) + 1)*(x + 2)^(3/2), [x], numberp,
                                                              numberp);
      (%o2)                         true
