scipy.sparse.linalg.lsmr¶
- scipy.sparse.linalg.lsmr(A, b, damp=0.0, atol=1e-06, btol=1e-06, conlim=100000000.0, maxiter=None, show=False)[source]¶
Iterative solver for least-squares problems.
lsmr solves the system of linear equations Ax = b. If the system is inconsistent, it solves the least-squares problem min ||b - Ax||_2. A is a rectangular matrix of dimension m-by-n, where all cases are allowed: m = n, m > n, or m < n. B is a vector of length m. The matrix A may be dense or sparse (usually sparse).
Parameters: A : {matrix, sparse matrix, ndarray, LinearOperator}
Matrix A in the linear system.
b : (m,) ndarray
Vector b in the linear system.
damp : float
Damping factor for regularized least-squares. lsmr solves the regularized least-squares problem:
min ||(b) - ( A )x|| ||(0) (damp*I) ||_2
where damp is a scalar. If damp is None or 0, the system is solved without regularization.
atol, btol : float, optional
Stopping tolerances. lsmr continues iterations until a certain backward error estimate is smaller than some quantity depending on atol and btol. Let r = b - Ax be the residual vector for the current approximate solution x. If Ax = b seems to be consistent, lsmr terminates when norm(r) <= atol * norm(A) * norm(x) + btol * norm(b). Otherwise, lsmr terminates when norm(A^{T} r) <= atol * norm(A) * norm(r). If both tolerances are 1.0e-6 (say), the final norm(r) should be accurate to about 6 digits. (The final x will usually have fewer correct digits, depending on cond(A) and the size of LAMBDA.) If atol or btol is None, a default value of 1.0e-6 will be used. Ideally, they should be estimates of the relative error in the entries of A and B respectively. For example, if the entries of A have 7 correct digits, set atol = 1e-7. This prevents the algorithm from doing unnecessary work beyond the uncertainty of the input data.
conlim : float, optional
lsmr terminates if an estimate of cond(A) exceeds conlim. For compatible systems Ax = b, conlim could be as large as 1.0e+12 (say). For least-squares problems, conlim should be less than 1.0e+8. If conlim is None, the default value is 1e+8. Maximum precision can be obtained by setting atol = btol = conlim = 0, but the number of iterations may then be excessive.
maxiter : int, optional
lsmr terminates if the number of iterations reaches maxiter. The default is maxiter = min(m, n). For ill-conditioned systems, a larger value of maxiter may be needed.
show : bool, optional
Print iterations logs if show=True.
Returns: x : ndarray of float
Least-square solution returned.
istop : int
istop gives the reason for stopping:
istop = 0 means x=0 is a solution. = 1 means x is an approximate solution to A*x = B, according to atol and btol. = 2 means x approximately solves the least-squares problem according to atol. = 3 means COND(A) seems to be greater than CONLIM. = 4 is the same as 1 with atol = btol = eps (machine precision) = 5 is the same as 2 with atol = eps. = 6 is the same as 3 with CONLIM = 1/eps. = 7 means ITN reached maxiter before the other stopping conditions were satisfied.
itn : int
Number of iterations used.
normr : float
norm(b-Ax)
normar : float
norm(A^T (b - Ax))
norma : float
norm(A)
conda : float
Condition number of A.
normx : float
norm(x)
