TriangularSolve

public final class TriangularSolve

Solves systems of linear equations with upper or lower triangular matrices by backsubstitution.

`matrix` is a tensor of shape `[..., M, M]` whose inner-most 2 dimensions form square matrices. If `lower` is `True` then the strictly upper triangular part of each inner-most matrix is assumed to be zero and not accessed. If `lower` is False then the strictly lower triangular part of each inner-most matrix is assumed to be zero and not accessed. `rhs` is a tensor of shape `[..., M, N]`.

The output is a tensor of shape `[..., M, N]`. If `adjoint` is `True` then the innermost matrices in `output` satisfy matrix equations `matrix[..., :, :] * output[..., :, :] = rhs[..., :, :]`. If `adjoint` is `False` then the strictly then the innermost matrices in `output` satisfy matrix equations `adjoint(matrix[..., i, k]) * output[..., k, j] = rhs[..., i, j]`.

Note, the batch shapes for the inputs only need to broadcast.

Example:

a = tf.constant([[3,  0,  0,  0],
                  [2,  1,  0,  0],
                  [1,  0,  1,  0],
                  [1,  1,  1,  1]], dtype=tf.float32)
 
 b = tf.constant([[4],
                  [2],
                  [4],
                  [2]], dtype=tf.float32)
 
 x = tf.linalg.triangular_solve(a, b, lower=True)
 x
 # <tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 1), dtype=float32, numpy=
 # array([[ 1.3333334 ],
 #        [-0.66666675],
 #        [ 2.6666665 ],
 #        [-1.3333331 ]], dtype=float32)>
 
 # in python3 one can use `a@x`
 tf.matmul(a, x)
 # <tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 1), dtype=float32, numpy=
 # array([[4.       ],
 #        [2.       ],
 #        [4.       ],
 #        [1.9999999]], dtype=float32)>

Constant Value: "MatrixTriangularSolve"

Public Methods

public static TriangularSolve.Options adjoint (Boolean adjoint)

Parameters

adjoint	Boolean indicating whether to solve with `matrix` or its (block-wise) adjoint.

public Output<T> asOutput ()

Returns the symbolic handle of the tensor.

Inputs to TensorFlow operations are outputs of another TensorFlow operation. This method is used to obtain a symbolic handle that represents the computation of the input.

public static TriangularSolve<T> create (Scope scope, Operand<T> matrix, Operand<T> rhs, Options... options)

Factory method to create a class wrapping a new TriangularSolve operation.

Parameters

scope	current scope
matrix	Shape is `[..., M, M]`.
rhs	Shape is `[..., M, K]`.
options	carries optional attributes values

Returns

• a new instance of TriangularSolve

public static TriangularSolve.Options lower (Boolean lower)

Parameters

lower	Boolean indicating whether the innermost matrices in `matrix` are lower or upper triangular.

public Output<T> output ()

Shape is `[..., M, K]`.
