tf.linalg.LinearOperatorIdentity

Class LinearOperatorIdentity

Defined in tensorflow/python/ops/linalg/linear_operator_identity.py.

LinearOperator acting like a [batch] square identity matrix.

This operator acts like a [batch] identity matrix A with shape [B1,...,Bb, N, N] for some b >= 0. The first b indices index a batch member. For every batch index (i1,...,ib), A[i1,...,ib, : :] is an N x N matrix. This matrix A is not materialized, but for purposes of broadcasting this shape will be relevant.

LinearOperatorIdentity is initialized with num_rows, and optionally batch_shape, and dtype arguments. If batch_shape is None, this operator efficiently passes through all arguments. If batch_shape is provided, broadcasting may occur, which will require making copies.

# Create a 2 x 2 identity matrix.
operator = LinearOperatorIdentity(num_rows=2, dtype=tf.float32)

operator.to_dense()
==> [[1., 0.]
     [0., 1.]]

operator.shape
==> [2, 2]

operator.log_abs_determinant()
==> 0.

x = ... Shape [2, 4] Tensor
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 4] Tensor, same as x.

y = tf.random_normal(shape=[3, 2, 4])
# Note that y.shape is compatible with operator.shape because operator.shape
# is broadcast to [3, 2, 2].
# This broadcast does NOT require copying data, since we can infer that y
# will be passed through without changing shape.  We are always able to infer
# this if the operator has no batch_shape.
x = operator.solve(y)
==> Shape [3, 2, 4] Tensor, same as y.

# Create a 2-batch of 2x2 identity matrices
operator = LinearOperatorIdentity(num_rows=2, batch_shape=[2])
operator.to_dense()
==> [[[1., 0.]
      [0., 1.]],
     [[1., 0.]
      [0., 1.]]]

# Here, even though the operator has a batch shape, the input is the same as
# the output, so x can be passed through without a copy.  The operator is able
# to detect that no broadcast is necessary because both x and the operator
# have statically defined shape.
x = ... Shape [2, 2, 3]
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 2, 3] Tensor, same as x

# Here the operator and x have different batch_shape, and are broadcast.
# This requires a copy, since the output is different size than the input.
x = ... Shape [1, 2, 3]
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 2, 3] Tensor, equal to [x, x]

Shape compatibility

This operator acts on [batch] matrix with compatible shape. x is a batch matrix with compatible shape for matmul and solve if

operator.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [N, N],  with b >= 0
x.shape =   [C1,...,Cc] + [N, R],
and [C1,...,Cc] broadcasts with [B1,...,Bb] to [D1,...,Dd]

Performance

If batch_shape initialization arg is None:

  • operator.matmul(x) is O(1)
  • operator.solve(x) is O(1)
  • operator.determinant() is O(1)

If batch_shape initialization arg is provided, and static checks cannot rule out the need to broadcast:

  • operator.matmul(x) is O(D1*...*Dd*N*R)
  • operator.solve(x) is O(D1*...*Dd*N*R)
  • operator.determinant() is O(B1*...*Bb)

Matrix property hints

This LinearOperator is initialized with boolean flags of the form is_X, for X = non_singular, self_adjoint, positive_definite, square. These have the following meaning:

  • If is_X == True, callers should expect the operator to have the property X. This is a promise that should be fulfilled, but is not a runtime assert. For example, finite floating point precision may result in these promises being violated.
  • If is_X == False, callers should expect the operator to not have X.
  • If is_X == None (the default), callers should have no expectation either way.

__init__

__init__(
    num_rows,
    batch_shape=None,
    dtype=None,
    is_non_singular=True,

)

Initialize a LinearOperatorIdentity.

The LinearOperatorIdentity is initialized with arguments defining dtype and shape.

This operator is able to broadcast the leading (batch) dimensions, which sometimes requires copying data. If batch_shape is None, the operator can take arguments of any batch shape without copying. See examples.

Args:

  • num_rows: Scalar non-negative integer Tensor. Number of rows in the corresponding identity matrix.
  • batch_shape: Optional 1-D integer Tensor. The shape of the leading dimensions. If None, this operator has no leading dimensions.
  • dtype: Data type of the matrix that this operator represents.
  • is_non_singular: Expect that this operator is non-singular.
  • is_self_adjoint: Expect that this operator is equal to its hermitian transpose.
  • is_positive_definite: Expect that this operator is positive definite, meaning the quadratic form x^H A x has positive real part for all nonzero x. Note that we do not require the operator to be self-adjoint to be positive-definite. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-definite_matrix#Extension_for_non-symmetric_matrices
  • is_square: Expect that this operator acts like square [batch] matrices.
  • assert_proper_shapes: Python bool. If False, only perform static checks that initialization and method arguments have proper shape. If True, and static checks are inconclusive, add asserts to the graph.
  • name: A name for this LinearOperator

Raises:

  • ValueError: If num_rows is determined statically to be non-scalar, or negative.
  • ValueError: If batch_shape is determined statically to not be 1-D, or negative.
  • ValueError: If any of the following is not True: {is_self_adjoint, is_non_singular, is_positive_definite}.
