Base class defining a [batch of] linear operator[s].
Inherits From: Module
tf.linalg.LinearOperator(
dtype, graph_parents=None, is_non_singular=None, is_self_adjoint=None,
is_positive_definite=None, is_square=None, name=None
)
Subclasses of LinearOperator
provide access to common methods on a
(batch) matrix, without the need to materialize the matrix. This allows:
- Matrix free computations
- Operators that take advantage of special structure, while providing a consistent API to users.
Subclassing
To enable a public method, subclasses should implement the leading-underscore
version of the method. The argument signature should be identical except for
the omission of name="..."
. For example, to enable
matmul(x, adjoint=False, name="matmul")
a subclass should implement
_matmul(x, adjoint=False)
.
Performance contract
Subclasses should only implement the assert methods
(e.g. assert_non_singular
) if they can be done in less than O(N^3)
time.
Class docstrings should contain an explanation of computational complexity. Since this is a high-performance library, attention should be paid to detail, and explanations can include constants as well as Big-O notation.
Shape compatibility
LinearOperator
subclasses should operate on a [batch] matrix with
compatible shape. Class docstrings should define what is meant by compatible
shape. Some subclasses may not support batching.
Examples:
x
is a batch matrix with compatible shape for matmul
if
operator.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [M, N], b >= 0,
x.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [N, R]
rhs
is a batch matrix with compatible shape for solve
if
operator.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [M, N], b >= 0,
rhs.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [M, R]
Example docstring for subclasses.
This operator acts like a (batch) matrix A
with shape
[B1,...,Bb, M, N]
for some b >= 0
. The first b
indices index a
batch member. For every batch index (i1,...,ib)
, A[i1,...,ib, : :]
is
an m x n
matrix. Again, this matrix A
may not be materialized, but for
purposes of identifying and working with compatible arguments the shape is
relevant.
Examples:
some_tensor = ... shape = ????
operator = MyLinOp(some_tensor)
operator.shape()
==> [2, 4, 4]
operator.log_abs_determinant()
==> Shape [2] Tensor
x = ... Shape [2, 4, 5] Tensor
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 4, 5] Tensor

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 propertyX
. 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 haveX
. - If
is_X == None
(the default), callers should have no expectation either way.
