acb_mat.h – matrices over the complex numbers¶
An acb_mat_t represents a dense matrix over the complex numbers,
implemented as an array of entries of type acb_struct.
The dimension (number of rows and columns) of a matrix is fixed at
initialization, and the user must ensure that inputs and outputs to
an operation have compatible dimensions. The number of rows or columns
in a matrix can be zero.
Note
Methods prefixed with acb_mat_approx treat all input entries as floating-point numbers (ignoring the radii of the balls) and compute floating-point output (balls with zero radius) representing approximate solutions without error bounds. All other methods compute rigorous error bounds. The approx methods are typically useful for computing initial values or preconditioners for rigorous solvers. Some users may also find approx methods useful for doing ordinary numerical linear algebra in applications where error bounds are not needed.

\[A_{j,k} = \frac{\omega^{jk}}{\sqrt{n}}, \quad \omega = e^{-2\pi i/n}.\]The type parameter is currently ignored and should be set to 0. In the future, it might be used to select a different convention.
Transpose¶
-
void acb_mat_transpose(acb_mat_t dest, const acb_mat_t src)¶
Sets dest to the exact transpose src. The operands must have compatible dimensions. Aliasing is allowed.

-
void acb_mat_bound_inf_norm(mag_t b, const acb_mat_t A)¶

Arithmetic¶
-
void acb_mat_neg(acb_mat_t dest, const acb_mat_t src)¶
Sets dest to the exact negation of src. The operands must have the same dimensions.
-
void acb_mat_add(acb_mat_t res, const acb_mat_t mat1, const acb_mat_t mat2, slong prec)¶

Sets res to the matrix product of mat1 and mat2. The operands must have compatible dimensions for matrix multiplication.
The classical version performs matrix multiplication in the trivial way.
The threaded version performs classical multiplication but splits the computation over the number of threads returned by flint_get_num_threads().
The reorder version reorders the data and performs one to four real matrix multiplications via
arb_mat_mul().The default version chooses an algorithm automatically.
-
void acb_mat_mul_entrywise(acb_mat_t res, const acb_mat_t mat1, const acb_mat_t mat2, slong prec)¶
Sets res to the entrywise product of mat1 and mat2. The operands must have the same dimensions.

-
void acb_mat_approx_mul(acb_mat_t res, const acb_mat_t mat1, const acb_mat_t mat2, slong prec)¶
Approximate matrix multiplication. The input radii are ignored and the output matrix is set to an approximate floating-point result. For performance reasons, the radii in the output matrix will not necessarily be written (zeroed), but will remain zero if they are already zeroed in res before calling this function.
Scalar arithmetic¶
-
void acb_mat_scalar_mul_2exp_si(acb_mat_t B, const acb_mat_t A, slong c)¶
Sets B to A multiplied by \(2^c\).
-
void acb_mat_scalar_addmul_acb(acb_mat_t B, const acb_mat_t A, const acb_t c, slong prec)¶
Sets B to \(B + A \times c\).
Gaussian elimination and solving¶
-
int acb_mat_lu(slong *perm, acb_mat_t LU, const acb_mat_t A, slong prec)¶
Given an \(n \times n\) matrix \(A\), computes an LU decomposition \(PLU = A\) using Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting. The input and output matrices can be the same, performing the decomposition in-place.
Entry \(i\) in the permutation vector perm is set to the row index in the input matrix corresponding to row \(i\) in the output matrix.
The algorithm succeeds and returns nonzero if it can find \(n\) invertible (i.e. not containing zero) pivot entries. This guarantees that the matrix is invertible.
The algorithm fails and returns zero, leaving the entries in \(P\) and \(LU\) undefined, if it cannot find \(n\) invertible pivot elements. In this case, either the matrix is singular, the input matrix was computed to insufficient precision, or the LU decomposition was attempted at insufficient precision.
The classical version uses Gaussian elimination directly while the recursive version performs the computation in a block recursive way to benefit from fast matrix multiplication. The default version chooses an algorithm automatically.
-
void acb_mat_solve_tril_classical(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t L, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_solve_tril_recursive(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t L, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_solve_triu_classical(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t U, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_solve_triu_recursive(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t U, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_solve_triu(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t U, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
Solves the lower triangular system \(LX = B\) or the upper triangular system \(UX = B\), respectively. If unit is set, the main diagonal of L or U is taken to consist of all ones, and in that case the actual entries on the diagonal are not read at all and can contain other data.
The classical versions perform the computations iteratively while the recursive versions perform the computations in a block recursive way to benefit from fast matrix multiplication. The default versions choose an algorithm automatically.
-
void acb_mat_solve_lu_precomp(acb_mat_t X, const slong *perm, const acb_mat_t LU, const acb_mat_t B, slong prec)¶
Solves \(AX = B\) given the precomputed nonsingular LU decomposition \(A = PLU\). The matrices \(X\) and \(B\) are allowed to be aliased with each other, but \(X\) is not allowed to be aliased with \(LU\).
-
int acb_mat_solve_precond(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t A, const acb_mat_t B, slong prec)¶
Solves \(AX = B\) where \(A\) is a nonsingular \(n \times n\) matrix and \(X\) and \(B\) are \(n \times m\) matrices.
If \(m > 0\) and \(A\) cannot be inverted numerically (indicating either that \(A\) is singular or that the precision is insufficient), the values in the output matrix are left undefined and zero is returned. A nonzero return value guarantees that \(A\) is invertible and that the exact solution matrix is contained in the output.
Three algorithms are provided:
The lu version performs LU decomposition directly in ball arithmetic. This is fast, but the bounds typically blow up exponentially with n, even if the system is well-conditioned. This algorithm is usually the best choice at very high precision.
The precond version computes an approximate inverse to precondition the system. This is usually several times slower than direct LU decomposition, but the bounds do not blow up with n if the system is well-conditioned. This algorithm is usually the best choice for large systems at low to moderate precision.
The default version selects between lu and precomp automatically.
The automatic choice should be reasonable most of the time, but users may benefit from trying either lu or precond in specific applications. For example, the lu solver often performs better for ill-conditioned systems where use of very high precision is unavoidable.
-
int acb_mat_inv(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t A, slong prec)¶
Sets \(X = A^{-1}\) where \(A\) is a square matrix, computed by solving the system \(AX = I\).
If \(A\) cannot be inverted numerically (indicating either that \(A\) is singular or that the precision is insufficient), the values in the output matrix are left undefined and zero is returned. A nonzero return value guarantees that the matrix is invertible and that the exact inverse is contained in the output.
-
void acb_mat_det(acb_t det, const acb_mat_t A, slong prec)¶
Sets det to the determinant of the matrix A.
The lu version uses Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting. If at some point an invertible pivot element cannot be found, the elimination is stopped and the magnitude of the determinant of the remaining submatrix is bounded using Hadamard’s inequality.
The precond version computes an approximate LU factorization of A and multiplies by the inverse L and U martices as preconditioners to obtain a matrix close to the identity matrix [Rum2010]. An enclosure for this determinant is computed using Gershgorin circles. This is about four times slower than direct Gaussian elimination, but much more numerically stable.
The default version automatically selects between the lu and precond versions and additionally handles small or triangular matrices by direct formulas.
-
void acb_mat_approx_solve_triu(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t U, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_approx_solve_tril(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t L, const acb_mat_t B, int unit, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_approx_solve_lu_precomp(acb_mat_t X, const slong *perm, const acb_mat_t A, const acb_mat_t B, slong prec)¶
-
int acb_mat_approx_inv(acb_mat_t X, const acb_mat_t A, slong prec)¶
These methods perform approximate solving without any error control. The radii in the input matrices are ignored, the computations are done numerically with floating-point arithmetic (using ordinary Gaussian elimination and triangular solving, accelerated through the use of block recursive strategies for large matrices), and the output matrices are set to the approximate floating-point results with zeroed error bounds.
Characteristic polynomial and companion matrix¶
-
void acb_mat_charpoly(acb_poly_t poly, const acb_mat_t mat, slong prec)¶
Sets poly to the characteristic polynomial of mat which must be a square matrix. If the matrix has n rows, the underscore method requires space for \(n + 1\) output coefficients. Employs a division-free algorithm using \(O(n^4)\) operations.
-
void _acb_mat_companion(acb_mat_t mat, acb_srcptr poly, slong prec)¶
-
void acb_mat_companion(acb_mat_t mat, const acb_poly_t poly, slong prec)¶
Sets the n by n matrix mat to the companion matrix of the polynomial poly which must have degree n. The underscore method reads \(n + 1\) input coefficients.
Special functions¶
-
void acb_mat_exp_taylor_sum(acb_mat_t S, const acb_mat_t A, slong N, slong prec)¶
Sets S to the truncated exponential Taylor series \(S = \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} A^k / k!\). See
arb_mat_exp_taylor_sum()for implementation notes.
-
void acb_mat_exp(acb_mat_t B, const acb_mat_t A, slong prec)¶
Sets B to the exponential of the matrix A, defined by the Taylor series
\[\exp(A) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{A^k}{k!}.\]The function is evaluated as \(\exp(A/2^r)^{2^r}\), where \(r\) is chosen to give rapid convergence of the Taylor series. Error bounds are computed as for
arb_mat_exp().
Component and error operations¶
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors¶
The functions in this section are experimental. There are classes of matrices where the algorithms fail to converge even as prec is increased, or for which the error bounds are much worse than necessary. In some cases, it can help to manually precondition the matrix A by applying a similarity transformation \(T^{-1} A T\).
If A is badly scaled, take \(T\) to be a matrix such that the entries of \(T^{-1} A T\) are more uniform (this is known as balancing).
Simply taking \(T\) to be a random invertible matrix can help if an algorithm fails to converge despite \(A\) being well-scaled. (This can be the case when dealing with multiple eigenvalues.)
-
int acb_mat_approx_eig_qr(acb_ptr E, acb_mat_t L, acb_mat_t R, const acb_mat_t A, const mag_t tol, slong maxiter, slong prec)¶
Computes floating-point approximations of all the n eigenvalues (and optionally eigenvectors) of the given n by n matrix A. The approximations of the eigenvalues are written to the vector E, in no particular order. If L is not NULL, approximations of the corresponding left eigenvectors are written to the rows of L. If R is not NULL, approximations of the corresponding right eigenvectors are written to the columns of R.
The parameters tol and maxiter can be used to control the target numerical error and the maximum number of iterations allowed before giving up. Passing NULL and 0 respectively results in default values being used.
Uses the implicitly shifted QR algorithm with reduction to Hessenberg form. No guarantees are made about the accuracy of the output. A nonzero return value indicates that the QR iteration converged numerically, but this is only a heuristic termination test and does not imply any statement whatsoever about error bounds. The output may also be accurate even if this function returns zero.
-
void acb_mat_eig_global_enclosure(mag_t eps, const acb_mat_t A, acb_srcptr E, const acb_mat_t R, slong prec)¶
Given an n by n matrix A, a length-n vector E containing approximations of the eigenvalues of A, and an n by n matrix R containing approximations of the corresponding right eigenvectors, computes a rigorous bound \(\varepsilon\) such that every eigenvalue \(\lambda\) of A satisfies \(|\lambda - \hat \lambda_k| \le \varepsilon\) for some \(\hat \lambda_k\) in E. In other words, the union of the balls \(B_k = \{z : |z - \hat \lambda_k| \le \varepsilon\}\) is guaranteed to be an enclosure of all eigenvalues of A.
Note that there is no guarantee that each ball \(B_k\) can be identified with a single eigenvalue: it is possible that some balls contain several eigenvalues while other balls contain no eigenvalues. In other words, this method is not powerful enough to compute isolating balls for the individual eigenvalues (or even for clusters of eigenvalues other than the whole spectrum). Nevertheless, in practice the balls \(B_k\) will represent eigenvalues one-to-one with high probability if the given approximations are good.
The output can be used to certify that all eigenvalues of A lie in some region of the complex plane (such as a specific half-plane, strip, disk, or annulus) without the need to certify the individual eigenvalues. The output is easily converted into lower or upper bounds for the absolute values or real or imaginary parts of the spectrum, and with high probability these bounds will be tight. Using
acb_add_error_mag()andacb_union(), the output can also be converted to a singleacb_tenclosing the whole spectrum of A in a rectangle, but note that to test whether a condition holds for all eigenvalues of A, it is typically better to iterate over the individual balls \(B_k\).This function implements the fast algorithm in Theorem 1 in [Miy2010] which extends the Bauer-Fike theorem. Approximations E and R can, for instance, be computed using
acb_mat_approx_eig_qr(). No assumptions are made about the structure of A or the quality of the given approximations.
-
void acb_mat_eig_enclosure_rump(acb_t lambda, acb_mat_t J, acb_mat_t R, const acb_mat_t A, const acb_t lambda_approx, const acb_mat_t R_approx, slong prec)¶
Given an n by n matrix A and an approximate eigenvalue-eigenvector pair lambda_approx and R_approx (where R_approx is an n by 1 matrix), computes an enclosure lambda guaranteed to contain at least one of the eigenvalues of A, along with an enclosure R for a corresponding right eigenvector.
More generally, this function can handle clustered (or repeated) eigenvalues. If R_approx is an n by k matrix containing approximate eigenvectors for a presumed cluster of k eigenvalues near lambda_approx, this function computes an enclosure lambda guaranteed to contain at least k eigenvalues of A along with a matrix R guaranteed to contain a basis for the k-dimensional invariant subspace associated with these eigenvalues. Note that for multiple eigenvalues, determining the individual eigenvectors is an ill-posed problem; describing an enclosure of the invariant subspace is the best we can hope for.
For \(k = 1\), it is guaranteed that \(AR - R \lambda\) contains the zero matrix. For \(k > 2\), this cannot generally be guaranteed (in particular, A might not diagonalizable). In this case, we can still compute an approximately diagonal k by k interval matrix \(J \approx \lambda I\) such that \(AR - RJ\) is guaranteed to contain the zero matrix. This matrix has the property that the Jordan canonical form of (any exact matrix contained in) A has a k by k submatrix equal to the Jordan canonical form of (some exact matrix contained in) J. The output J is optional (the user can pass NULL to omit it).
The algorithm follows section 13.4 in [Rum2010], corresponding to the
verifyeig()routine in INTLAB. The initial approximations can, for instance, be computed usingacb_mat_approx_eig_qr(). No assumptions are made about the structure of A or the quality of the given approximations.
-
int acb_mat_eig_simple_rump(acb_ptr E, acb_mat_t L, acb_mat_t R, const acb_mat_t A, acb_srcptr E_approx, const acb_mat_t R_approx, slong prec)¶
-
int acb_mat_eig_simple_vdhoeven_mourrain(acb_ptr E, acb_mat_t L, acb_mat_t R, const acb_mat_t A, acb_srcptr E_approx, const acb_mat_t R_approx, slong prec)¶
-
int acb_mat_eig_simple(acb_ptr E, acb_mat_t L, acb_mat_t R, const acb_mat_t A, acb_srcptr E_approx, const acb_mat_t R_approx, slong prec)¶
Computes all the eigenvalues (and optionally corresponding eigenvectors) of the given n by n matrix A.
Attempts to prove that A has n simple (isolated) eigenvalues, returning 1 if successful and 0 otherwise. On success, isolating complex intervals for the eigenvalues are written to the vector E, in no particular order. If L is not NULL, enclosures of the corresponding left eigenvectors are written to the rows of L. If R is not NULL, enclosures of the corresponding right eigenvectors are written to the columns of R.
The left eigenvectors are normalized so that \(L = R^{-1}\). This produces a diagonalization \(LAR = D\) where D is the diagonal matrix with the entries in E on the diagonal.
The user supplies approximations E_approx and R_approx of the eigenvalues and the right eigenvectors. The initial approximations can, for instance, be computed using
acb_mat_approx_eig_qr(). No assumptions are made about the structure of A or the quality of the given approximations.Two algorithms are implemented:
The rump version calls
acb_mat_eig_enclosure_rump()repeatedly to certify eigenvalue-eigenvector pairs one by one. The iteration is stopped to return non-success if a new eigenvalue overlaps with previously computed one. Finally, L is computed by a matrix inversion. This has complexity \(O(n^4)\).The vdhoeven_mourrain version uses the algorithm in [HM2017] to certify all eigenvalues and eigenvectors in one step. This has complexity \(O(n^3)\).
The default version currently uses vdhoeven_mourrain.
By design, these functions terminate instead of attempting to compute eigenvalue clusters if some eigenvalues cannot be isolated. To compute all eigenvalues of a matrix allowing for overlap,
acb_mat_eig_multiple_rump()may be used as a fallback, oracb_mat_eig_multiple()may be used in the first place.
-
int acb_mat_eig_multiple_rump(acb_ptr E, const acb_mat_t A, acb_srcptr E_approx, const acb_mat_t R_approx, slong prec)¶
-
int acb_mat_eig_multiple(acb_ptr E, const acb_mat_t A, acb_srcptr E_approx, const acb_mat_t R_approx, slong prec)¶
Computes all the eigenvalues of the given n by n matrix A. On success, the output vector E contains n complex intervals, each representing one eigenvalue of A with the correct multiplicities in case of overlap. The output intervals are either disjoint or identical, and identical intervals are guaranteed to be grouped consecutively. Each complete run of k identical intervals thus represents a cluster of exactly k eigenvalues which could not be separated from each other at the current precision, but which could be isolated from the other \(n - k\) eigenvalues of the matrix.
The user supplies approximations E_approx and R_approx of the eigenvalues and the right eigenvectors. The initial approximations can, for instance, be computed using
acb_mat_approx_eig_qr(). No assumptions are made about the structure of A or the quality of the given approximations.The rump algorithm groups approximate eigenvalues that are close and calls
acb_mat_eig_enclosure_rump()repeatedly to validate each cluster. The complexity is \(O(m n^3)\) for m clusters.The default version, as currently implemented, first attempts to call
acb_mat_eig_simple_vdhoeven_mourrain()hoping that the eigenvalues are actually simple. It then uses the rump algorithm as a fallback.
