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 such as trace, rank, inverse, determinant, or eigensystem.

Constructor Details

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

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

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/matrix.rb', line 284

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
       -1 66
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/matrix.rb', line 51

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]]
m = Matrix.build(3) { rand }
  #=> a 3x3 matrix with random elements

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

    row
  }

m = Matrix.empty(2, 0)
m == Matrix[ [], [] ]
  #=> true
n = Matrix.empty(0, 3)
n == Matrix.columns([ [], [], [] ])

#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.
