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 (trace, rank, inverse, determinant).

Method Catalogue

To create a matrix:

  • Matrix

  • Matrix.[](*rows)

  • Matrix.rows(rows, copy = true)

  • Matrix.columns(columns)

  • Matrix.build(row_count, column_count, &block)

  • Matrix.diagonal(*values)

  • Matrix.scalar(n, value)

  • Matrix.identity(n)

  • Matrix.unit(n)

  • Matrix.I(n)

  • Matrix.zero(n)

  • Matrix.row_vector(row)

  • Matrix.column_vector(column)

To access Matrix elements/columns/rows/submatrices/properties:

  • #[](i, j)

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) ⇒ Object

Creates a matrix where each argument is a row.

Matrix[ [25, 93], [-1, 66] ]
   =>  25 93
       -1 66

def Matrix.[](*rows)
  rows(rows, false)
end

.build(row_count, column_count = row_count) ⇒ Object

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.

Beware that using Float values can yield erroneous results because of their lack of precision. Consider using exact types like Rational or BigDecimal instead.

#each(which = :all) ⇒ Object

Yields all elements of the matrix, starting with those of the first row, or returns an Enumerator is no block given. Elements can be restricted by passing an argument:

  • :all (default): yields all elements

  • :diagonal: yields only elements on the diagonal

  • :off_diagonal: yields all elements except on the diagonal

  • :lower: yields only elements on or below the diagonal

  • :strict_lower: yields only elements below the diagonal

  • :strict_upper: yields only elements above the diagonal

  • :upper: yields only elements on or above the diagonal

    Matrix[ [1,2], [3,4] ].each { |e| puts e }

    # => prints the numbers 1 to 4
    

    Matrix[ [1,2], [3,4] ].each(:strict_lower).to_a # => [3]
