Class LinearOperatorCirculant2D

LinearOperator acting like a block circulant matrix.

This operator acts like a block circulant matrix A with shape [B1,...,Bb, N, N] for some b >= 0. The first b indices index a batch member. For every batch index (i1,...,ib), A[i1,...,ib, : :] is an N x N matrix. This matrix A is not materialized, but for purposes of broadcasting this shape will be relevant.

Description in terms of block circulant matrices

If A is block circulant, with block sizes N0, N1 (N0 * N1 = N): A has a block circulant structure, composed of N0 x N0 blocks, with each block an N1 x N1 circulant matrix.

For example, with W, X, Y, Z each circulant,

A = |W Z Y X|
    |X W Z Y|
    |Y X W Z|
    |Z Y X W|

Note that A itself will not in general be circulant.

Description in terms of the frequency spectrum

There is an equivalent description in terms of the [batch] spectrum H and Fourier transforms. Here we consider A.shape = [N, N] and ignore batch dimensions.

If H.shape = [N0, N1], (N0 * N1 = N): Loosely speaking, matrix multiplication is equal to the action of a Fourier multiplier: A u = IDFT2[ H DFT2[u] ]. Precisely speaking, given [N, R] matrix u, let DFT2[u] be the [N0, N1, R] Tensor defined by re-shaping u to [N0, N1, R] and taking a two dimensional DFT across the first two dimensions. Let IDFT2 be the inverse of DFT2. Matrix multiplication may be expressed columnwise:

(A u)_r = IDFT2[ H * (DFT2[u])_r ]

Operator properties deduced from the spectrum.

• This operator is positive definite if and only if Real{H} > 0.

A general property of Fourier transforms is the correspondence between Hermitian functions and real valued transforms.

Suppose H.shape = [B1,...,Bb, N0, N1], we say that H is a Hermitian spectrum if, with % indicating modulus division,

H[..., n0 % N0, n1 % N1] = ComplexConjugate[ H[..., (-n0) % N0, (-n1) % N1 ].

• This operator corresponds to a real matrix if and only if H is Hermitian.
• This operator is self-adjoint if and only if H is real.

See e.g. "Discrete-Time Signal Processing", Oppenheim and Schafer.

Example of a self-adjoint positive definite operator

# spectrum is real ==> operator is self-adjoint
# spectrum is positive ==> operator is positive definite
spectrum = [[1., 2., 3.],
            [4., 5., 6.],
            [7., 8., 9.]]

operator = LinearOperatorCirculant2D(spectrum)

# IFFT[spectrum]
operator.convolution_kernel()
==> [[5.0+0.0j, -0.5-.3j, -0.5+.3j],
     [-1.5-.9j,        0,        0],
     [-1.5+.9j,        0,        0]]

operator.to_dense()
==> Complex self adjoint 9 x 9 matrix.

Example of defining in terms of a real convolution kernel,

# convolution_kernel is real ==> spectrum is Hermitian.
convolution_kernel = [[1., 2., 1.], [5., -1., 1.]]
spectrum = tf.signal.fft2d(tf.cast(convolution_kernel, tf.complex64))

# spectrum is shape [2, 3] ==> operator is shape [6, 6]
# spectrum is Hermitian ==> operator is real.
operator = LinearOperatorCirculant2D(spectrum, input_output_dtype=tf.float32)

Performance

Suppose operator is a LinearOperatorCirculant of shape [N, N], and x.shape = [N, R]. Then

• operator.matmul(x) is O(R*N*Log[N])
• operator.solve(x) is O(R*N*Log[N])
• operator.determinant() involves a size N reduce_prod.

If instead operator and x have shape [B1,...,Bb, N, N] and [B1,...,Bb, N, R], every operation increases in complexity by B1*...*Bb.

Matrix property hints

This LinearOperator is initialized with boolean flags of the form is_X, for X = non_singular, self_adjoint, positive_definite, square. These have the following meaning

• If is_X == True, callers should expect the operator to have the property X. This is a promise that should be fulfilled, but is not a runtime assert. For example, finite floating point precision may result in these promises being violated.
• If is_X == False, callers should expect the operator to not have X.
• If is_X == None (the default), callers should have no expectation either way.

    spectrum,
    input_output_dtype=tf.dtypes.complex64,
    is_non_singular=None,
    is_self_adjoint=None,
    is_positive_definite=None,

)

Initialize an LinearOperatorCirculant2D.

This LinearOperator is initialized to have shape [B1,...,Bb, N, N] by providing spectrum, a [B1,...,Bb, N0, N1] Tensor with N0*N1 = N.

If input_output_dtype = DTYPE:

• Arguments to methods such as matmul or solve must be DTYPE.
• Values returned by all methods, such as matmul or determinant will be cast to DTYPE.

Note that if the spectrum is not Hermitian, then this operator corresponds to a complex matrix with non-zero imaginary part. In this case, setting input_output_dtype to a real type will forcibly cast the output to be real, resulting in incorrect results!

If on the other hand the spectrum is Hermitian, then this operator corresponds to a real-valued matrix, and setting input_output_dtype to a real type is fine.

Args:

• spectrum: Shape [B1,...,Bb, N] Tensor. Allowed dtypes: float16, float32, float64, complex64, complex128. Type can be different than input_output_dtype
• input_output_dtype: dtype for input/output.
• is_non_singular: Expect that this operator is non-singular.
• is_self_adjoint: Expect that this operator is equal to its hermitian transpose. If spectrum is real, this will always be true.
• is_positive_definite: Expect that this operator is positive definite, meaning the quadratic form x^H A x has positive real part for all nonzero x. Note that we do not require the operator to be self-adjoint to be positive-definite. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-definite_matrix
  #Extension_for_non_symmetric_matrices
• is_square: Expect that this operator acts like square [batch] matrices.
• name: A name to prepend to all ops created by this class.
