scipy.sparse.linalg.onenormest¶
- scipy.sparse.linalg.onenormest(A, t=2, itmax=5, compute_v=False, compute_w=False)[source]¶
Compute a lower bound of the 1-norm of a sparse matrix.
Parameters: A : ndarray or other linear operator
A linear operator that can be transposed and that can produce matrix products.
t : int, optional
A positive parameter controlling the tradeoff between accuracy versus time and memory usage. Larger values take longer and use more memory but give more accurate output.
itmax : int, optional
Use at most this many iterations.
compute_v : bool, optional
Request a norm-maximizing linear operator input vector if True.
compute_w : bool, optional
Request a norm-maximizing linear operator output vector if True.
Returns: est : float
An underestimate of the 1-norm of the sparse matrix.
v : ndarray, optional
The vector such that ||Av||_1 == est*||v||_1. It can be thought of as an input to the linear operator that gives an output with particularly large norm.
w : ndarray, optional
The vector Av which has relatively large 1-norm. It can be thought of as an output of the linear operator that is relatively large in norm compared to the input.
Notes
This is algorithm 2.4 of [1].
In [2] it is described as follows. “This algorithm typically requires the evaluation of about 4t matrix-vector products and almost invariably produces a norm estimate (which is, in fact, a lower bound on the norm) correct to within a factor 3.”
New in version 0.13.0.
