This operator is often used as a placeholder where the output vector exactly matches the input vector.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
nargin int

Size of the input vector i.e. the number of rows/columns of the operator

required
**kwargs Any

Extra keywords arguments.

{}

Methods:

Name Description
reset_counters

Resets matrix-vector product counter to zero.

dot

matvec

Matrix-vector multiplication method.

to_array

Returns the dense form of the linear operator as a 2D NumPy array.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
dtype DTypeLike

The data type of the operator.

nargin int

Size of the input vector \(x\), i.e. the number of columns of the operator

nargout int

Size of the output vector \(A(x)\), i.e. the number of rows of the operator

symmetric bool

Indicates whether the operator is symmetric or not

shape tuple[int, int]

A tuple (nargout, nargin) representing the shape of the operator

nMatvec int

The number of matrix-vector multiplications computed so far

T LinearOperator

The transpose operator

H LinearOperator

The adjoint operator

to_array() -> npt.NDArray[np.number]

Returns the dense form of the linear operator as a 2D NumPy array.

Warning

This method first allocates a NumPy array of shape self.shape and data-type self.dtype, and then fills them with numbers. As such, for a large linear operator, it can occupy an enormous amount of memory and crash your system. Don't use it unless you understand the risk!

Returns:
