Objected Oriented Interface to GSL Math::GSL::Matrix

Math::GSL::Matrix->new()

Creates a new Matrix of the given size.

my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(10,10);

raw()

Get the underlying GSL matrix object created by SWIG, useful for using gsl_matrix_* functions which do not have an OO counterpart.

my $matrix     = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(3,3);
my $gsl_matrix = $matrix->raw;
my $stuff      = gsl_matrix_get($gsl_matrix, 1, 2);

identity()

Set a matrix to the identity matrix, i.e. one on the diagonal and zero elsewhere.

my $I = $matrix->identity;

zero()

Set a matrix to the zero matrix.

$matrix->zero;

copy()

Returns a copy of the matrix, which has the same size and values but resides at a different location in memory.

my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(5,5);
my $copy   = $matrix->copy;

rows()

Returns the number of rows in the matrix.

my $rows = $matrix->rows;

cols()

Returns the number of columns in the matrix.

my $cols = $matrix->cols;

as_list()

Get the contents of a Math::GSL::Matrix object as a Perl list.

my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(3,3);
...
my @matrix = $matrix->as_list;

is_square()

Returns true if a matrix is square, i.e. it has the same number of rows as columns, false otherwise.

det()

Returns the determinant of a matrix (computed by LU decomposition) or dies if called on a non-square matrix.

my $det = $matrix->det();

lndet()

Returns the natural log of the absolute value of the determinant of a matrix (computed by LU decomposition) or dies if called on a non-square matrix.

my $lndet = $matrix->lndet();

inverse()

Returns the inverse of a matrix or dies when called on a non-square matrix.

my $inverse = $matrix->inverse;

eigenvalues()

as_vector()

Returns a 1xN or Nx1 matrix as a Math::GSL::Vector object. Dies if called on a matrix that is not a single row or column. Useful for turning the output of col() or row() into a vector, like so:

my $vector1 = $matrix->col(0)->as_vector;
my $vector2 = $matrix->row(1)->as_vector;

as_list()

Returns a matrix as a flattened Perl list.

my @values = $matrix->as_list;

my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(3,3);
$matrix->set_row(0, [8, 6, 2]);

You can also set multiple rows at once with chained calls:

my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(3,3);
$matrix->set_row(0, [8, 6, 2])
       ->set_row(1, [2, 4, 1]);
...

set_col()

my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(3,3);
$matrix->set_col(0, [8, 6, 2]);

You can also set multiple columns at once with chained calls: my $matrix = Math::GSL::Matrix->new(3,3); $matrix->set_col(0, [8, 6, 2]) ->set_col(1, [2, 4, 1]); ...

gsl_matrix_view_array($base, $n1, $n2) - This function returns a matrix view of the array reference $base. The matrix has $n1 rows and $n2 columns. The physical number of columns in memory is also given by $n2. Mathematically, the (i,j)-th element of the new matrix is given by, m'(i,j) = $base->[i*$n2 + j] where the index i runs from 0 to $n1-1 and the index j runs from 0 to $n2-1. The new matrix is only a view of the array reference $base. When the view goes out of scope the original array reference $base will continue to exist. The original memory can only be deallocated by freeing the original array. Of course, the original array should not be deallocated while the view is still in use.

The new matrix is only a view of the array reference $base. When the view goes out of scope the original array reference $base will continue to exist.

You have to add the functions you want to use inside the qw /put_funtion_here /. You can also write use Math::GSL::Matrix qw/:all/ to use all avaible functions of the module. Other tags are also avaible, here is a complete list of all tags for this module :

all
int
double
char
complex

For more informations on the functions, we refer you to the GSL offcial documentation http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/

EXAMPLES

Most of the examples from this section are perl versions of the examples at L<http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Example-programs-for-matrices.html>

The program below shows how to allocate, initialize and read from a matrix using the functions gsl_matrix_alloc, gsl_matrix_set and gsl_matrix_get.

use Math::GSL::Matrix qw/:all/;
my $m = gsl_matrix_alloc (10,3);
for my $i (0..9){
   for my $j (0..2){
       gsl_matrix_set($m, $i, $j, 0.23 + 100*$i + $j);
   }
}

for my $i (0..99){ # OUT OF RANGE ERROR
    for my $j (0..2){
       print "m($i, $j) = " . gsl_matrix_get ($m, $i, $j) . "\n";
   }
}
gsl_matrix_free ($m);


use Math::GSL::Matrix qw/:all/;

my $m = gsl_matrix_alloc (100, 100);
my $a = gsl_matrix_alloc (100, 100);

for my $i (0..99){
    for my $j (0..99){
        gsl_matrix_set ($m, $i, $j, 0.23 + $i + $j);
    }
}

The next program shows how to write a matrix to a file.

my $out = gsl_fopen("test.dat", "wb");
gsl_matrix_fwrite ($out, $m);
gsl_fclose ($out);

my $in = gsl_fopen("test.dat", "rb");
gsl_matrix_fread ($in, $a);
gsl_fclose($in);

my $k=0;
for my $i (0..99){
    for my $j (0..99){
        $mij = gsl_matrix_get ($m, $i, $j);
        $aij = gsl_matrix_get ($a, $i, $j);
        $k++ if ($mij != $aij);
    }
}

gsl_matrix_free($m);
gsl_matrix_free($a);

print "differences = $k (should be zero)\n";
