Matrix Transform

This library currently provides the following operations:

• addition
• direct sum
• subtraction
• multiplication
• division (using [A].[B]^-1)
  • division by
  • division into

together with functions for

• adjoint
• antidiagonal
• cofactors
• determinant
• diagonal
• identity
• inverse
• minors
• trace
• transpose

• solve

  Given Matrices A and B, calculate X for A.X = B

and classes for

• Decomposition

  • LU Decomposition with partial row pivoting,

    such that [P].[A] = [L].[U] and [A] = [P]^|.[L].[U]

  • QR Decomposition

    such that [A] = [Q].[R]

TO DO

• power() function
• Decomposition
  • Cholesky Decomposition

Installation

(Requires Composer version 2)

Usage

To create a new Matrix object, provide an array as the constructor argument

The Builder class provides helper methods for creating specific matrices, specifically an identity matrix of a specified size; or a matrix of a specified dimensions, with every cell containing a set value.

Will create a matrix of 5 rows and 3 columns, filled with a 1 in every cell; while

will create a 3x3 identity matrix.

Matrix objects are immutable: whenever you call a method or pass a grid to a function that returns a matrix value, a new Matrix object will be returned, and the original will remain unchanged. This also allows you to chain multiple methods as you would for a fluent interface (as long as they are methods that will return a Matrix result).

Performing Mathematical Operations

To perform mathematical operations with Matrices, you can call the appropriate method against a matrix value, passing other values as arguments

or pass all values to the appropriate function

or statically:

You can pass in the arguments as Matrix objects, or as arrays.

If you want to perform the same operation against multiple values (e.g. to add three or more matrices), then you can pass multiple arguments to any of the operations.

Using functions

When calling any of the available functions for a matrix value, you can either call the relevant method for the Matrix object

or you can call the function as you would in procedural code, passing the Matrix object as an argument

When called procedurally using the function, you can pass in the argument as a Matrix object, or as an array.

As an alternative, it is also possible to call the method directly from the Functions class.

Used this way, methods must be called statically, and the argument must be the Matrix object or an array.

Decomposition

The library also provides classes for matrix decomposition. You can access these using

or alternatively us the Decomposition factory, identifying which form of decomposition you want to use
