diagU2N: Transform Triangular Matrices from Unit Triangular to General Triangular and Back

Description

Transform a triangular matrix x, i.e., of class "'>triangularMatrix", from (internally!) unit triangular (“unitriangular”) to “general” triangular (diagU2N(x)) or back (diagN2U(x)). Note that the latter, diagN2U(x), also sets the diagonal to one in cases where diag(x) was not all one.

.diagU2N(x) assumes but does not check that x is a '>triangularMatrix with diag slot "U", and should hence be used with care.

Usage

diagN2U(x, cl = getClassDef(class(x)), checkDense = FALSE)
 diagU2N(x, cl = getClassDef(class(x)), checkDense = FALSE)
.diagU2N(x, cl, checkDense = FALSE)

Arguments

a '>triangularMatrix, often sparse.

(optional, for speedup only:) class (definition) of x.

checkDense

logical indicating if dense (see '>denseMatrix) matrices should be considered at all; i.e., when false, as per default, the result will be sparse even when x is dense.

Value

a triangular matrix of the same class but with a different diag slot. For diagU2N (semantically) with identical entries as x, whereas in diagN2U(x), the off-diagonal entries are unchanged and the diagonal is set to all 1 even if it was not previously.

Details

The concept of unit triangular matrices with a diag slot of "U" stems from LAPACK.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
(T <- Diagonal(7) + triu(Matrix(rpois(49, 1/4), 7,7), k = 1))
(uT <- diagN2U(T)) # "unitriangular"
(t.u <- diagN2U(10*T))# changes the diagonal!
stopifnot(all(T == uT), diag(t.u) == 1,
          identical(T, diagU2N(uT)))
T[upper.tri(T)] <- 5
T <- diagN2U(as(T,"triangularMatrix"))
stopifnot(T@diag == "U")
dT <- as(T, "denseMatrix")
dt. <- diagN2U(dT)
dtU <- diagN2U(dT, checkDense=TRUE)
stopifnot(is(dtU, "denseMatrix"), is(dt., "sparseMatrix"),
          all(dT == dt.), all(dT == dtU),
          dt.@diag == "U", dtU@diag == "U")
# }
