Usage information =================
There are seven available sparse matrix types:
1. csc_matrix: Compressed Sparse Column format 2. csr_matrix: Compressed Sparse Row format 3. bsr_matrix: Block Sparse Row format 4. lil_matrix: List of Lists format 5. dok_matrix: Dictionary of Keys format 6. coo_matrix: COOrdinate format (aka IJV, triplet format) 7. dia_matrix: DIAgonal format
To construct a matrix efficiently, use either dok_matrix or lil_matrix. The lil_matrix class supports basic slicing and fancy indexing with a similar syntax to NumPy arrays. As illustrated below, the COO format may also be used to efficiently construct matrices. Despite their similarity to NumPy arrays, it is **strongly discouraged** to use NumPy functions directly on these matrices because NumPy may not properly convert them for computations, leading to unexpected (and incorrect) results. If you do want to apply a NumPy function to these matrices, first check if SciPy has its own implementation for the given sparse matrix class, or **convert the sparse matrix to a NumPy array** (e.g. using the `toarray()` method of the class) first before applying the method.
To perform manipulations such as multiplication or inversion, first convert the matrix to either CSC or CSR format. The lil_matrix format is row-based, so conversion to CSR is efficient, whereas conversion to CSC is less so.
All conversions among the CSR, CSC, and COO formats are efficient, linear-time operations.
Matrix vector product --------------------- To do a vector product between a sparse matrix and a vector simply use the matrix `dot` method, as described in its docstring:
>>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix >>> A = csr_matrix([[1, 2, 0], [0, 0, 3], [4, 0, 5]]) >>> v = np.array([1, 0, -1]) >>> A.dot(v) array([ 1, -3, -1], dtype=int64)
.. warning:: As of NumPy 1.7, `np.dot` is not aware of sparse matrices, therefore using it will result on unexpected results or errors. The corresponding dense array should be obtained first instead:
>>> np.dot(A.toarray(), v) array([ 1, -3, -1], dtype=int64)
but then all the performance advantages would be lost.
The CSR format is specially suitable for fast matrix vector products.
Example 1 --------- Construct a 1000x1000 lil_matrix and add some values to it:
>>> from scipy.sparse import lil_matrix >>> from scipy.sparse.linalg import spsolve >>> from numpy.linalg import solve, norm >>> from numpy.random import rand
>>> A = lil_matrix((1000, 1000)) >>> A[0, :100] = rand(100) >>> A[1, 100:200] = A[0, :100] >>> A.setdiag(rand(1000))
Now convert it to CSR format and solve A x = b for x:
>>> A = A.tocsr() >>> b = rand(1000) >>> x = spsolve(A, b)
Convert it to a dense matrix and solve, and check that the result is the same:
>>> x_ = solve(A.toarray(), b)
Now we can compute norm of the error with:
>>> err = norm(x-x_) >>> err < 1e-10 True
It should be small :)
Example 2 ---------
Construct a matrix in COO format:
>>> from scipy import sparse >>> from numpy import array >>> I = array([0,3,1,0]) >>> J = array([0,3,1,2]) >>> V = array([4,5,7,9]) >>> A = sparse.coo_matrix((V,(I,J)),shape=(4,4))
Notice that the indices do not need to be sorted.
Duplicate (i,j) entries are summed when converting to CSR or CSC.
>>> I = array([0,0,1,3,1,0,0]) >>> J = array([0,2,1,3,1,0,0]) >>> V = array([1,1,1,1,1,1,1]) >>> B = sparse.coo_matrix((V,(I,J)),shape=(4,4)).tocsr()
This is useful for constructing finite-element stiffness and mass matrices.
Further Details ---------------
CSR column indices are not necessarily sorted. Likewise for CSC row indices. Use the .sorted_indices() and .sort_indices() methods when sorted indices are required (e.g. when passing data to other libraries).
