Name

determinant_matrixT_determinant_matrixDeterminantMatrixDeterminantMatrixdeterminant_matrix — Compute the determinant of a matrix.

Signature

Description

The operator determinant_matrixdeterminant_matrixDeterminantMatrixDeterminantMatrixdeterminant_matrix computes the determinant of the input Matrix given by the matrix handle MatrixIDMatrixIDMatrixIDmatrixIDmatrix_id. The type of the input Matrix can be selected via the parameter MatrixTypeMatrixTypeMatrixTypematrixTypematrix_type. The following values are supported: 'general'"general""general""general""general" for general, 'symmetric'"symmetric""symmetric""symmetric""symmetric" for symmetric, 'positive_definite'"positive_definite""positive_definite""positive_definite""positive_definite" for symmetric positive definite, 'tridiagonal'"tridiagonal""tridiagonal""tridiagonal""tridiagonal" for tridiagonal, 'upper_triangular'"upper_triangular""upper_triangular""upper_triangular""upper_triangular" for upper triangular, 'permuted_upper_triangular'"permuted_upper_triangular""permuted_upper_triangular""permuted_upper_triangular""permuted_upper_triangular" for permuted upper triangular, 'lower_triangular'"lower_triangular""lower_triangular""lower_triangular""lower_triangular" for lower triangular, and 'permuted_lower_triangular'"permuted_lower_triangular""permuted_lower_triangular""permuted_lower_triangular""permuted_lower_triangular" for permuted lower triangular matrices. The formula for the calculation of the result is:

Example:

Attention

For MatrixTypeMatrixTypeMatrixTypematrixTypematrix_type = 'symmetric'"symmetric""symmetric""symmetric""symmetric", 'positive_definite'"positive_definite""positive_definite""positive_definite""positive_definite", or 'upper_triangular'"upper_triangular""upper_triangular""upper_triangular""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 MatrixTypeMatrixTypeMatrixTypematrixTypematrix_type = 'lower_triangular'"lower_triangular""lower_triangular""lower_triangular""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 MatrixTypeMatrixTypeMatrixTypematrixTypematrix_type = 'tridiagonal'"tridiagonal""tridiagonal""tridiagonal""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.

Execution Information

• Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
• Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
• Processed without parallelization.

Parameters

Result

If the parameters are valid, the operator determinant_matrixdeterminant_matrixDeterminantMatrixDeterminantMatrixdeterminant_matrix returns the value 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) . If necessary, an exception is raised.
