In Matrix: Sparse and Dense Matrix Classes and Methods

Transform Triangular Matrices from Unit Triangular to General Triangular and Back

Description

Transform a triangular matrix x, i.e., of class triangularMatrix, from (internally!) unit triangular (“unitriangular”) to “general” triangular (diagU2N(x)) or back (diagN2U(x)). Note that the latter, diagN2U(x), also sets the diagonal to one in cases where diag(x) was not all one.

.diagU2N(x) and .diagN2U(x) assume without checking that x is a triangularMatrix with suitable diag slot ("U" and "N", respectively), hence they should be used with care.

Usage

 diagU2N(x, cl = getClassDef(class(x)), checkDense = FALSE)
 diagN2U(x, cl = getClassDef(class(x)), checkDense = FALSE)

.diagU2N(x, cl = getClassDef(class(x)), checkDense = FALSE)
.diagN2U(x, cl = getClassDef(class(x)), checkDense = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a triangularMatrix, often sparse.
cl	(optional, for speedup only:) class (definition) of x.
checkDense	logical indicating if dense (see denseMatrix) matrices should be considered at all; i.e., when false, as per default, the result will be sparse even when x is dense.

Details

The concept of unit triangular matrices with a diag slot of "U" stems from LAPACK.

Value

a triangular matrix of the same class but with a different diag slot. For diagU2N (semantically) with identical entries as x, whereas in diagN2U(x), the off-diagonal entries are unchanged and the diagonal is set to all 1 even if it was not previously.

Note

Such internal storage details should rarely be of relevance to the user. Hence, these functions really are rather internal utilities.

Examples

(T <- Diagonal(7) + triu(Matrix(rpois(49, 1/4), 7, 7), k = 1))
(uT <- diagN2U(T)) # "unitriangular"
(t.u <- diagN2U(10*T))# changes the diagonal!
stopifnot(all(T == uT), diag(t.u) == 1,
          identical(T, diagU2N(uT)))
T[upper.tri(T)] <- 5 # still "dtC"
T <- diagN2U(as(T,"triangularMatrix"))
dT <- as(T, "denseMatrix") # (unitriangular)
dT.n <- diagU2N(dT, checkDense = TRUE)
sT.n <- diagU2N(dT)
stopifnot(is(dT.n, "denseMatrix"), is(sT.n, "sparseMatrix"),
          dT@diag == "U", dT.n@diag == "N", sT.n@diag == "N",
          all(dT == dT.n), all(dT == sT.n))
