Overview

The Matrix class represents a mathematical matrix. It provides methods for creating matrices, operating on them arithmetically and algebraically, and determining their mathematical properties (trace, rank, inverse, determinant).

Method Catalogue

To create a matrix:

  • Matrix

  • Matrix.[](*rows)

  • Matrix.rows(rows, copy = true)

  • Matrix.columns(columns)

  • Matrix.build(row_count, column_count, &block)

  • Matrix.diagonal(*values)

  • Matrix.scalar(n, value)

  • Matrix.identity(n)

  • Matrix.unit(n)

  • Matrix.I(n)

.new(rows, column_count = rows[0].size) ⇒ Matrix

new is private; use .rows, columns, [], etc… to create.

# File 'lib/matrix.rb', line 357



def initialize(rows, column_count = rows[0].size)
  # No checking is done at this point. rows must be an Array of Arrays.
  # column_count must be the size of the first row, if there is one,
  # otherwise it *must* be specified and can be any integer >= 0
  @rows = rows
  @column_count = column_count
end


  







Class Method Details



  

    .[](*rows)  
  



  

    

Creates a matrix where each argument is a row.



Matrix[ [25, 93], [-1, 66] ]
   #=>  25 93

def Matrix.[](*rows)
  rows(rows, false)
end


  








  

    .build(row_count, column_count = row_count)  
  



  

    

Creates a matrix of size #row_count x #column_count. It fills the values by calling the given block, passing the current row and column. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.



m = Matrix.build(2, 4) {|row, col| col - row }
  #=> Matrix[[0, 1, 2, 3], [-1, 0, 1, 2]]

    .empty(row_count = 0, column_count = 0)

    #determinant_bareiss   (private)
  



  

    

Private. Use #determinant



Returns the determinant of the matrix, using Bareiss' multistep integer-preserving gaussian elimination. It has the same computational cost order O(n^3) as standard Gaussian elimination. Intermediate results are fraction free and of lower complexity. A matrix of Integers will have thus intermediate results that are also Integers, with smaller bignums (if any), while a matrix of Float will usually have intermediate results with better precision.
