invert_matrix_mod
— Invert a matrix.
invert_matrix_mod( : : MatrixID, MatrixType, Epsilon : )
The operator invert_matrix_mod
computes the inverse of the
Matrix
defined by the matrix handle MatrixID
.
The input matrix is overwritten with the result. Access to the
elements of the matrix is possible e.g., with the operator
get_full_matrix
.
For Epsilon
= 0, the inverse is computed. The type of the
Matrix
can be selected via MatrixType
. The
following values are supported: 'general' for general,
'symmetric' for symmetric, 'positive_definite' for
symmetric positive definite, 'tridiagonal' for tridiagonal,
'upper_triangular' for upper triangular,
'permuted_upper_triangular' for permuted upper triangular,
'lower_triangular' for lower triangular, and
'permuted_lower_triangular' for permuted lower triangular
matrices.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
For Epsilon
> 0, the pseudo inverse is computed using a
singular value decomposition (SVD). During the computation, all
singular values less than the value Epsilon
*
the largest singular value are set to 0. For these values no
internal division is done to prevent a division by zero. If a
square matrix is computed with the SVD algorithm the computation
takes more time. The type of the matrix must be set to
MatrixType
= 'general' .
Example:
Note: The relative accuracy of the floating point representation of
the used data type (double) is Epsilon
= 2.2204e-16.
It should be also noted that in the examples there are differences in the meaning of the numbers of the output matrices: The results of the elements are per definition a certain value if the number of this value is shown as an integer number, e.g., 0 or 1. If the number is shown as a floating point number, e.g., 0.0 or 1.0, the value is computed.
For MatrixType
= 'symmetric' ,
'positive_definite' , or 'upper_triangular' the
upper triangular part of the input Matrix
must contain
the relevant information of the matrix. The strictly lower
triangular part of the matrix is not referenced. For
MatrixType
= 'lower_triangular' the lower
triangular part of the input Matrix
must contain the
relevant information of the matrix. The strictly upper triangular
part of the matrix is not referenced. For MatrixType
=
'tridiagonal' , only the main diagonal, the superdiagonal,
and the subdiagonal of the input Matrix
are used. The
other parts of the matrix are not referenced. If the referenced
part of the input Matrix
is not of the specified type,
an exception is raised.
invert_matrix_mod
modifies the content of an already
existing matrix.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.
MatrixID
(input_control, state is modified) matrix →
(handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix.
MatrixType
(input_control) string →
(string)
The type of the input matrix.
Default value: 'general'
List of values: 'general' , 'lower_triangular' , 'permuted_lower_triangular' , 'permuted_upper_triangular' , 'positive_definite' , 'symmetric' , 'tridiagonal' , 'upper_triangular'

Type of inversion.
Default value: 0.0
Suggested values: 0.0, 2.2204e-16
If the parameters are valid, the operator invert_matrix_mod
returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If necessary, an exception is raised.
