TRMV

TRMV[ul,ts,dg,a,b]

computes the triangular matrix-vector multiplication opts[a].b and resets b to the result.

Details and Options

  • To use TRMV, you first need to load the BLAS Package using Needs["LinearAlgebra`BLAS`"].
  • The following arguments must be given:
  • ul
  • input string
  • upper/lower triangular string
    • ts
  • input string
  • transposition string
    • dg
  • input string
    		• diagonal ones string
    ainput expressionrectangular matrix
    binput/output symbolvector; the symbol value is modified in place
  • The upper/lower triangular string ul may be specified as:
  • "U"the upper triangular part of a is to be used
    "L"the lower triangular part of a is to be used
  • The transposition string ts describes the operator opts and may be specified as:
  • "N"no transposition
    "T"transpose
    "C"conjugate transpose
  • The diagonal ones string dg may be specified as:
  • "U"the main diagonal of a is assumed to contain only ones
    "N"the actual values of the main diagonal of a are used
  • Dimensions of the matrix and vector arguments must be such that the dot product is well defined.

Properties & Relations  (4)

TRMV["U","N","N",a,b] is equivalent to b=UpperTriangularize[a].b:

TRMV["L","T","N",a,b] is equivalent to b=Transpose[LowerTriangularize[a]].b:

Note this is not TRMV["U","N","N",a,b] as the lower triangular part is used for the transpose:

If dg="U", the diagonal values of a are assumed to be ones:

The diagonal has been effectively replaced by ones:

If a is a rectangular matrix then only the leading upper or lower triangular part of a is used:

The matrix a is effectively truncated to its upper left corner:

Possible Issues  (2)

The last argument must be a symbol:

The last argument must be initialized to a vector:
