Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Compute an `LU` factorization of a real tridiagonal matrix `A` using elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges

Readme

dgttrf

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Compute an LU factorization of a real tridiagonal matrix A using elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges.

The dgttrf routine computes an LU factorization of a real N-by-N tridiagonal matrix A using elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges. The factorization has the form:

where L is a product of permutation and unit lower bidiagonal matrices and U is upper triangular with non-zeros in only the main diagonal and first two superdiagonals.

For a 5-by-5 tridiagonal matrix A, elements are stored in three arrays:

where:

  • dl contains the subdiagonal elements.
  • d contains the diagonal elements.
  • du contains the superdiagonal elements.

After factorization, the elements of L and U are used to update the input arrays, where:

  • dl contains the multipliers that define unit lower bidiagonal matrix L.
  • d contains the diagonal elements of U.
  • du and du2 contain the elements of U on the first and second superdiagonals.

The resulting L and U matrices have the following structure:

where the l(i) values are stored in DL, the diagonal elements u(i,i) are stored in D, and the superdiagonal elements u(i,i+1) and u(i,i+2) are stored in DU and DU2, respectively.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrf

Usage

var dgttrf = require( '@stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrf' );

dgttrf( N, DL, D, DU, DU2, IPIV )

Computes an LU factorization of a real tridiagonal matrix A using elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Int32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int32' );
var dgttrf = require( '@stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrf' );

var DL = new Float64Array( [ 6.0, 6.0 ] );
var D = new Float64Array( [ 20.0, 30.0, 10.0 ] );
var DU = new Float64Array( [ 8.0, 8.0 ] );
var DU2 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0 ] );
var IPIV = new Int32Array( [ 0, 0, 0 ] );

/*
    A = [
        [ 20.0, 8.0,  0.0  ],
        [ 6.0,  30.0, 8.0  ],
        [ 0.0,  6.0,  10.0 ]
    ]
*/

dgttrf( 3, DL, D, DU, DU2, IPIV );
// DL => <Float64Array>[ 0.3, ~0.22 ]
// D => <Float64Array>[ 20.0, 27.6, ~8.26 ]
// DU => <Float64Array>[ 8.0, 8.0 ]
// DU2 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0 ]
// IPIV => <Int32Array>[ 0, 1, 2 ]

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of rows/columns in A.
  • DL: the first sub diagonal of A as a Float64Array. Should have N-1 indexed elements. DL is overwritten by the multipliers that define the matrix L from the LU factorization of A.
  • D: the diagonal of A as a Float64Array. Should have N indexed elements. D is overwritten by the diagonal elements of the upper triangular matrix U from the LU factorization of A.
  • DU: the first super-diagonal of A as a Float64Array. Should have N-1 indexed elements. DU is overwritten by the elements of the first super-diagonal of U.
  • DU2: the second super-diagonal of U as a Float64Array. Should have N-2 indexed elements. DU2 is overwritten by the elements of the second super-diagonal of U as a Float64Array.
  • IPIV: vector of pivot indices as a Int32Array. Should have N indexed elements.

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Int32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int32' );
var dgttrf = require( '@stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrf' );

// Initial arrays...
var DL0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 6.0, 6.0 ] );
var D0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 20.0, 30.0, 10.0 ] );
var DU0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 8.0, 8.0 ] );
var DU20 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0 ] );
var IPIV0 = new Int32Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ] );

/*
    A = [
        [ 20.0, 8.0,  0.0  ],
        [ 6.0,  30.0, 8.0  ],
        [ 0.0,  6.0,  10.0 ]
    ]
*/

// Create offset views...
var DL = new Float64Array( DL0.buffer, DL0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var D = new Float64Array( D0.buffer, D0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var DU = new Float64Array( DU0.buffer, DU0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var DU2 = new Float64Array( DU20.buffer, DU20.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var IPIV = new Int32Array( IPIV0.buffer, IPIV0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

dgttrf( 3, DL, D, DU, DU2, IPIV );
// DL0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.3, ~0.22 ]
// D0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 20.0, 27.6, ~8.26 ]
// DU0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 8.0, 8.0 ]
// DU20 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0 ]
// IPIV0 => <Int32Array>[ 0, 0, 1, 2 ]

dgttrf.ndarray( N, DL, sdl, odl, D, sd, od, DU, sdu, odu, DU2, sdu2, odu2, IPIV, si, oi )

Computes an LU factorization of a real tridiagonal matrix A using elimination with partial pivoting and row interchanges and alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Int32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int32' );
var dgttrf = require( '@stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrf' );

var DL = new Float64Array( [ 6.0, 6.0 ] );
var D = new Float64Array( [ 20.0, 30.0, 10.0 ] );
var DU = new Float64Array( [ 8.0, 8.0 ] );
var DU2 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0 ] );
var IPIV = new Int32Array( [ 0, 0, 0 ] );

/*
    A = [
        [ 20.0, 8.0,  0.0  ],
        [ 6.0,  30.0, 8.0  ],
        [ 0.0,  6.0,  10.0 ]
    ]
*/

dgttrf.ndarray( 3, DL, 1, 0, D, 1, 0, DU, 1, 0, DU2, 1, 0, IPIV, 1, 0 );
// DL => <Float64Array>[ 0.3, ~0.22 ]
// D => <Float64Array>[ 20.0, 27.6, ~8.26 ]
// DU => <Float64Array>[ 8.0, 8.0 ]
// DU2 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0 ]
// IPIV => <Int32Array>[ 0, 1, 2 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • sdl: stride length for DL.
  • odl: starting index for DL.
  • sd: stride length for D.
  • od: starting index for D.
  • sdu: stride length for DU.
  • odu: starting index for DU.
  • sdu2: stride length for DU2.
  • odu2: starting index for DU2.
  • si: stride length for IPIV.
  • oi: starting index for IPIV.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example,

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var Int32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int32' );
var dgttrf = require( '@stdlib/lapack-base-dgttrf' );

var DL = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 6.0, 6.0 ] );
var D = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 20.0, 30.0, 10.0 ] );
var DU = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 8.0, 8.0 ] );
var DU2 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0 ] );
var IPIV = new Int32Array( [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ] );

/*
    A = [
        [ 20.0, 8.0,  0.0  ],
        [ 6.0,  30.0, 8.0  ],
        [ 0.0,  6.0,  10.0 ]
    ]
*/

dgttrf.ndarray( 3, DL, 1, 1, D, 1, 1, DU, 1, 1, DU2, 1, 1, IPIV, 1, 1 );
// DL => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.3, ~0.22 ]
// D => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 20.0, 27.6, ~8.26 ]
// DU => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 8.0, 8.0 ]
// DU2 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0 ]
// IPIV => <Int32Array>[ 0, 0, 1, 2 ]

Notes

  • Both functions mutate the input arrays DL, D, DU, DU2, and IPIV.

  • Both functions return a status code indicating success or failure. The status code indicates the following conditions:

    • 0: factorization was successful.
    • >0: U(k, k) is exactly zero the factorization has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations where k equals the status code value.
  • dgttrf() corresponds to the LAPACK routine dgttrf.
