Packages Overview

The matrices functionality can be found in the following packages :

• fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.math.geometry.euclidean.threed for Vector3D, Matrix3D
• fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.math.linear for RealMatrix, AbstractRealMatrix, Array2DRowRealMatrix, UDDecomposition, UDDecompositionImpl ...

Features Description

The Matrix3D class

The Matrix3D is a real matrix designed to be used in geometric calculations. The Matrix3D is compatible with the Vector3D type, unlike the matrices implemented in the package "linear".

The packages "linear" and "geometry" both contains classes to represent vectors and matrices, but without any compatibility (for example, the "multiply" methods availables in the generic real matrices only accept the objects from the "linear" package).

To make possible the operations using both types of vectors and matrices, a constructor and a getter are added to the Vector3D and Matrix3D classes.

The constructor creates the object from a similar one (containing the same data) from the "linear" package.

For vectors :

ArrayRealVector realVector = new ArrayRealVector(data);
Vector3D vector3D = new Vector3D(realVector);

For matrices, the operation is described in the previous paragraph.

This construction works only if the generic real vectors and matrices dimensions are right (3 for the vectors and 3x3 for the matrices).

The getters are : "getRealMatrix()" in the Matrix3D class and "getRealVector()" in the Vector3D class. They return the generic objects containing identical data.

Generic real matrices

The library also provides generic representations of real matrices, of any size.

The RealMatrix interface presents the following services :

• usual operations (adding, multiplying)
• extraction of submatrices
• symmetry and antisymmetry tests
• orthogonality tests
• diagonality tests
• invertibility tests

The Array2DRowRealMatrix is one available implementation for generic real matrices.

UD decomposition feature

The library can compute the UD decomposition of a matrix.

The UD-decomposition of the matrix A is a set of three matrices such that A = UxDxU^^t^^ with :

• U is an upper triangular matrix,
• D is a diagonal matrix,
• U^^t^^ is the transpose of U.

Getting Started

Matrix3D and Vector3D

The Matrix3D class

A Matrix3D instance be constructed from doubles :

double[][] data = { {1d,2d,3d}, {2d,5d,3d}, {1d,0d,8d} };
 
Matrix3D matrix3d = new Matrix3D(data);

Or from a RealMatrix :

Array2DRowRealMatrix matrixCM = new Array2DRowRealMatrix(data);
 
Matrix3D matrix3D = new Matrix3D(matrixCM);

If the RealMatrix or data dimensions are not 3x3, a MathIllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Some basic methods are available in it :

• Matrix3D / Matrix3D addition

Matrix3D matrix3d_result = matrix3d_1.add(matrix3d_2);

• Matrix3D / Matrix3D subtraction

Matrix3D matrix3d_result = matrix3d_1.subtract(matrix3d_2);

• Matrix3D / Matrix3D multiplication

Matrix3D matrix3d_result = matrix3d_1.multiply(matrix3d_2);

• Matrix3D / Vector3D multiplication

Vector3D vector3d_result = matrix3d.multiply(vector3d);

• Matrix3D / double multiplication

Matrix3D matrix3d_result = matrix3d.multiply(2.0);

• transposition

Matrix3D transposed_matrix3d = matrix3d.transpose();

• transposition and Matrix3D / Vector3D multiplication

Vector3D vector3d_result = matrix3d.transposeAndMultiply(vector3d);

• test : orthogonal matrix ? Uses the same-named function in AbstractRealMatrix : same principle, same use.

• getRealMatrix : returns an Array2dRowRealMatrix with the same data in it

RealMatrix realmatrix = matrix3d.getRealMatrix();

• toString : creates a string containing all the values.

final Matrix3D matrix = new Matrix3D(testData);
returns "Matrix3D{{1.0,2.0,3.0},{2.0,5.0,3.0},{1.0,0.0,8.0}}"

Generic matrices

The AbstractRealMatrix class

Symmetry and antisymmetry tests

The RealMatrix interface and the AbstractRealMatrix abstract class contain the two methods isSymmetric and isAntisymmetric to test if a real matrix is symmetric or antisymmetric:

Array2DRowRealMatrix sym = new Array2DRowRealMatrix(symmetricData);
 
boolean isSymmetric = sym.isSymmetric() ;

The returned boolean is TRUE if the matrix is symmetric. The equality test made on each value uses the MathUtils.equalsWithRelativeTolerance method, with an algorithm using a relative threshold described in the “Doubles Values Comparisons” paragraph of the SUM.

isAntisymmetric needs a threshold given by the user for the comparisons the zero of the diagonal values. This threshold can be taken as MathUtils.DOUBLES_COMPARISON_EPSILON for standard cases.

But if the matrix contains values closer to zero than this epsilon (1.0e-14), the user shall define their own threshold.

For the rest of the values tested (other than the diagonal), the same method as in isSymmetric is used.

Array2DRowRealMatrix antisym = new Array2DRowRealMatrix(antisymmetricData);
 
boolean isAntisymmetric = antisym.isAntisymmetric(Precision.DOUBLE_COMPARISON_EPSILON) ;

The returned boolean is TRUE if the matrix is antisymmetric.

Orthogonal test

In order to know if a real matrix is orthogonal, one can use the method isOrthogonal(), this method checks if the column vectors form an orthonormal set :

        double[][] orthogonalMatrix = {{ 8.0 / 9.0, 1.0 / 9.0,-4.0 / 9.0 },
                {-4.0 / 9.0, 4.0 / 9.0, -7.0 / 9.0 },
                { 1.0 / 9.0, 8.0 / 9.0, 4.0 / 9.0 }};
        RealMatrix matrix = new Array2DRowRealMatrix(orthogonalMatrix);
        matrix.isOrthogonal(Precision.EPSILON, Precision.EPSILON));

Of course, because a matrix usually results from several operations which can introduce numerical errors, one has to give 2 thresholds under which the matrix is considered to be orthogonal. These thresholds concern the normality and the orthogonality of the column vectors of the matrix.

Diagonal test

In order to know if a real matrix is diagonal, one can use the method isDiagonal() :

        double[][] diagonalMatrix = {{ 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 },
                { 0.0,-1.0, 0.0, 0.0 },
                { 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 0.0 },
                {0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 9.0 }};
        RealMatrix matrix = new Array2DRowRealMatrix(diagonalMatrix);
        matrix.isDiagonal(Precision.EPSILON);

Of course, because a matrix usually results from several operations which can introduce numerical errors, one has to give a threshold under which the non diagonal elements are considered to be zero ie the matrix is considered to be diagonal.

Invertible test

In order to know if a real matrix is invertible, one can use the method isInvertible(), this method checks if the n column vectors form a basis of Rn :

        double[][] nonSingularMatrix = {{ 4.0, 2.0,-1.5, 2.0 },
                { 6.0, 8.0, 2.1, 2.5 },
                { 2.0, 1.0,-0.75, 1.0 },
                {-1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -0.5 }};
        RealMatrix matrix = new Array2DRowRealMatrix(nonSingularMatrix);
        matrix.isInvertible(Precision.EPSILON);

Of course, because a matrix usually results from several operations which can introduce numerical errors, one has to give a threshold under which the column vectors are considered linearly dependant.

UD decomposition

The UDDecompositionImpl class

The UDDecompositionImpl class is the one performing the UD-decomposition of a matrix.

If the RealMatrix A is not square, a NonSquareMatrixException is thrown. If the RealMatrix A is not symmetric, a NonSymmetricMatrixException is thrown. If the RealMatrix A is not positive definite, a NonPositiveDefiniteMatrixException is thrown.

Two constructors are available :

• default constructor :

UDDecompositionImpl(matrix,relativeSymmetryThreshold,absolutePositivityThreshold)

with

• matrix = matrix to factorize,
  • relativeSymmetryThreshold = threshold above which off-diagonal elements are considered too different and matrix not symmetric,
  • absolutePositivityThreshold = threshold below which diagonal elements are considered null and matrix not positive definite

• basic constructor :

UDDecompositionImpl(matrix)

with

• matrix = matrix to factorize with relativeSymmetryThreshold = DEFAULT_RELATIVE_SYMMETRY_THRESHOLD (1.0e-15) and absolutePositivityThreshold = DEFAULT_ABSOLUTE_POSITIVITY_THRESHOLD (0.0)

The following methods are available in it :

final UDDecomposition udut = new UDDecompositionImpl(matrix);

• get the U matrix

RealMatrix Umatrix = udut.getU();

• get the D matrix

RealMatrix Dmatrix = udut.getD();

• get the U^^t^^ matrix

RealMatrix UTmatrix = udut.getUT();

• get the determinant

double d = udut.getDeterminant();

• get the solver based on the UD decomposition

DecompositionSolver s = udut.getSolver();
