public class NormOps
extends Object

Norms are a measure of the size of a vector or a matrix. One typical application is in error analysis.

Vector norms have the following properties:

1. ||x|| > 0 if x ≠ 0 and ||0|| = 0
2. ||αx|| = |α| ||x||
3. ||x+y|| ≤ ||x|| + ||y||

Matrix norms have the following properties:

1. ||A|| > 0 if A ≠ 0 where A ∈ ℜ ^{m × n}
2. || α A || = |α| ||A|| where A ∈ ℜ ^{m × n}
3. ||A+B|| ≤ ||A|| + ||B|| where A and B are ∈ ℜ ^{m × n}
4. ||AB|| ≤ ||A|| ||B|| where A and B are ∈ ℜ ^{m × m}

Note that the last item in the list only applies to square matrices.

Matrix norms can be induced from vector norms as is shown below:

||A||_M = max_x≠0||Ax||_v/||x||_v

where ||.||_M is the induced matrix norm for the vector norm ||.||_v.

By default implementations that try to mitigate overflow/underflow are used. If the word fast is found before a function's name that means it does not mitigate those issues, but runs a bit faster.

public NormOps()

Method Detail

normalizeF

public static void normalizeF(DenseMatrix64F A)

Normalizes the matrix such that the Frobenius norm is equal to one.

Parameters:

A - The matrix that is to be normalized.

conditionP

public static double conditionP(DenseMatrix64F A,
                                double p)

The condition number of a matrix is used to measure the sensitivity of the linear system Ax=b. A value near one indicates that it is a well conditioned matrix.

κ_p = ||A||_p||A^-1||_p

If the matrix is not square then the condition of either A^TA or AA^T is computed.

Parameters:

A - The matrix.

p - p-norm

Returns:

The condition number.

conditionP2

public static double conditionP2(DenseMatrix64F A)

The condition p = 2 number of a matrix is used to measure the sensitivity of the linear system Ax=b. A value near one indicates that it is a well conditioned matrix.

κ₂ = ||A||₂||A^-1||₂

This is also known as the spectral condition number.

Parameters:

A - The matrix.

Returns:

The condition number.

fastNormF

public static double fastNormF(D1Matrix64F a)

This implementation of the Frobenius norm is a straight forward implementation and can be susceptible for overflow/underflow issues. A more resilient implementation is normF(org.ejml.data.D1Matrix64F).

Parameters:

a - The matrix whose norm is computed. Not modified.

normF

public static double normF(D1Matrix64F a)

Computes the Frobenius matrix norm:

normF = Sqrt{ ∑_i=1:m ∑_j=1:n { a_ij²} }

This is equivalent to the element wise p=2 norm. See fastNormF(org.ejml.data.D1Matrix64F) for another implementation that is faster, but more prone to underflow/overflow errors.

Parameters:

a - The matrix whose norm is computed. Not modified.

Returns:

The norm's value.

elementP

public static double elementP(RowD1Matrix64F A,
                              double p)

Element wise p-norm:

norm = {∑_i=1:m ∑_j=1:n { |a_ij|^p}}^1/p

This is not the same as the induced p-norm used on matrices, but is the same as the vector p-norm.

Parameters:

A - Matrix. Not modified.

p - p value.

Returns:

The norm's value.

fastElementP

public static double fastElementP(D1Matrix64F A,
                                  double p)

Same as elementP(org.ejml.data.RowD1Matrix64F, double) but runs faster by not mitigating overflow/underflow related problems.

Parameters:

A - Matrix. Not modified.

p - p value.

Returns:

The norm's value.

normP

public static double normP(DenseMatrix64F A,
                           double p)

Computes either the vector p-norm or the induced matrix p-norm depending on A being a vector or a matrix respectively.

Parameters:

A - Vector or matrix whose norm is to be computed.

p - The p value of the p-norm.

Returns:

The computed norm.

fastNormP

public static double fastNormP(DenseMatrix64F A,
                               double p)

An unsafe but faster version of normP(org.ejml.data.DenseMatrix64F, double) that calls routines which are faster but more prone to overflow/underflow problems.

Parameters:

A - Vector or matrix whose norm is to be computed.

p - The p value of the p-norm.

Returns:

The computed norm.

normP1

public static double normP1(DenseMatrix64F A)

Computes the p=1 norm. If A is a matrix then the induced norm is computed.

Parameters:

fastNormP2

public static double fastNormP2(DenseMatrix64F A)
