aff2ab

Arguments

afunction

a scilab function Y =fct(X,D) where X, D, Y are list of matrices

dimX

a p x 2 integer matrix (p is the number of matrices in X)

D

a list of real matrices (or any other valid Scilab object).

flag

optional parameter (flag='f' or flag='sp')

A

a real matrix

b

a real vector having same row dimension as A

Description

aff2ab returns the matrix representation of an affine function (in the canonical basis).

afunction is a function with imposed syntax: Y=afunction(X,D) where X=list(X1,X2,...,Xp) is a list of p real matrices, and Y=list(Y1,...,Yq) is a list of q real real matrices which depend linearly of the Xi's. The (optional) input D contains parameters needed to compute Y as a function of X. (It is generally a list of matrices).

dimX is a p x 2 matrix: dimX(i)=[nri,nci] is the actual number of rows and columns of matrix Xi. These dimensions determine na, the column dimension of the resulting matrix A: na=nr1*nc1 +...+ nrp*ncp.

If the optional parameter flag='sp' the resulting A matrix is returned as a sparse matrix.

This function is useful to solve a system of linear equations where the unknown variables are matrices.

Examples

// Lyapunov equation solver (one unknown variable, one constraint)
deff('Y=lyapunov(X,D)','[A,Q]=D(:);Xm=X(:); Y=list(A''*Xm+Xm*A-Q)')
A=rand(3,3);Q=rand(3,3);Q=Q+Q';D=list(A,Q);dimX=[3,3];
[Aly,bly]=aff2ab(lyapunov,dimX,D);
[Xl,kerA]=linsolve(Aly,bly); Xv=vec2list(Xl,dimX); lyapunov(Xv,D)
Xm=Xv(:); A'*Xm+Xm*A-Q

// Lyapunov equation solver with redundant constraint X=X'
// (one variable, two constraints) D is global variable
deff('Y=ly2(X,D)','[A,Q]=D(:);Xm=X(:); Y=list(A''*Xm+Xm*A-Q,Xm''-Xm)')
A=rand(3,3);Q=rand(3,3);Q=Q+Q';D=list(A,Q);dimX=[3,3];
[Aly,bly]=aff2ab(ly2,dimX,D);
[Xl,kerA]=linsolve(Aly,bly); Xv=vec2list(Xl,dimX); ly2(Xv,D)
