<h3>24 <span class="Heading">Matrices</span></h3>
<p>Matrices are represented in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> by lists of row vectors (see <a href="chap23.html#X82C7E6CF7BA03391"><span class="RefLink">23</span></a>) (for future changes to this policy see Chapter <a href="chap26.html#X856C23B87E50F118"><span class="RefLink">26</span></a>). The vectors must all have the same length, and their elements must lie in a common ring. However, since checking rectangularness can be expensive functions and methods of operations for matrices often will not give an error message for non-rectangular lists of lists –in such cases the result is undefined.</p>
<p>Because matrices are just a special case of lists, all operations and functions for lists are applicable to matrices also (see chapter <a href="chap21.html#X7B256AE5780F140A"><span class="RefLink">21</span></a>). This especially includes accessing elements of a matrix (see <a href="chap21.html#X7921047F83F5FA28"><span class="RefLink">21.3</span></a>), changing elements of a matrix (see <a href="chap21.html#X8611EF768210625B"><span class="RefLink">21.4</span></a>), and comparing matrices (see <a href="chap21.html#X8016D50F85147A77"><span class="RefLink">21.10</span></a>).</p>
<p>Note that, since a matrix is a list of lists, the behaviour of <code class="func">ShallowCopy</code> (<a href="chap12.html#X846BC7107C352031"><span class="RefLink">12.7-1</span></a>) for matrices is just a special case of <code class="func">ShallowCopy</code> (<a href="chap12.html#X846BC7107C352031"><span class="RefLink">12.7-1</span></a>) for lists (see <a href="chap21.html#X7ED7C0738495556F"><span class="RefLink">21.7</span></a>); called with an immutable matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>, <code class="func">ShallowCopy</code> (<a href="chap12.html#X846BC7107C352031"><span class="RefLink">12.7-1</span></a>) returns a mutable matrix whose rows are identical to the rows of <var class="Arg">mat</var>.

<p>A <em>matrix</em> is a list of lists of equal length whose entries lie in a common ring.</p>
<p>Note that matrices may have different multiplications, besides the usual matrix product there is for example the Lie product. So there are categories such as <code class="func">IsOrdinaryMatrix</code> (<a href="chap24.html#X7CF42B8A845BC6A9"><span class="RefLink">24.2-2</span></a>) and <code class="func">IsLieMatrix</code> (<a href="chap24.html#X86EC33E17DD12D0E"><span class="RefLink">24.2-3</span></a>) that describe the matrix multiplication. One can form the product of two matrices only if they support the same multiplication.</p>

<p>Note also the filter <code class="func">IsTable</code> (<a href="chap21.html#X80872FAF80EB5DF9"><span class="RefLink">21.1-4</span></a>) which may be more appropriate than <code class="func">IsMatrix</code> for some purposes.</p>

<p>Note that we want that Lie matrices shall be matrices that behave in the same way as ordinary matrices, except that they have a different multiplication.

<h4>24.3 <span class="Heading">Operators for Matrices</span></h4>
<p>The rules for arithmetic operations involving matrices are in fact special cases of those for the arithmetic of lists, given in Section <a href="chap21.html#X845EEAF083D43CCE"><span class="RefLink">21.11</span></a> and the following sections, here we reiterate that definition, in the language of vectors and matrices.</p>
<p>Note that the additive behaviour sketched below is defined only for lists in the category <code class="func">IsGeneralizedRowVector</code> (<a href="chap21.html#X87ABCEE9809585A0"><span class="RefLink">21.12-1</span></a>), and the multiplicative behaviour is defined only for lists in the category <code class="func">IsMultiplicativeGeneralizedRowVector</code> (<a href="chap21.html#X7FBCA5B58308C158"><span class="RefLink">21.12-2</span></a>) (see <a href="chap21.html#X84D642967B8546B7"><span class="RefLink">21.12</span></a>).</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat1</var> + <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code></p>
<p>returns the sum of the two matrices <var class="Arg">mat1</var> and <var class="Arg">mat2</var>, Probably the most usual situation is that <var class="Arg">mat1</var> and <var class="Arg">mat2</var> have the same dimensions and are defined over a common field; in this case the sum is a new matrix over the same field where each entry is the sum of the corresponding entries of the matrices.</p>
<p>In more general situations, the sum of two matrices need not be a matrix, for example adding an integer matrix <var class="Arg">mat1</var> and a matrix <var class="Arg">mat2</var> over a finite field yields the table of pointwise sums, which will be a mixture of finite field elements and integers if <var class="Arg">mat1</var> has bigger dimensions than <var class="Arg">mat2</var>.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">scalar</var> + <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat</var> + <var class="Arg">scalar</var></code></p>
<p>returns the sum of the scalar <var class="Arg">scalar</var> and the matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>. Probably the most usual situation is that the entries of <var class="Arg">mat</var> lie in a common field with <var class="Arg">scalar</var>; in this case the sum is a new matrix over the same field where each entry is the sum of the scalar and the corresponding entry of the matrix.</p>
<p>More general situations are for example the sum of an integer scalar and a matrix over a finite field, or the sum of a finite field element and an integer matrix.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat1</var> - <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">scalar</var> - <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat</var> - <var class="Arg">scalar</var></code></p>
<p>Subtracting a matrix or scalar is defined as adding its additive inverse, so the statements for the addition hold likewise.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">scalar</var> * <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat</var> * <var class="Arg">scalar</var></code></p>
<p>returns the product of the scalar <var class="Arg">scalar</var> and the matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>. Probably the most usual situation is that the elements of <var class="Arg">mat</var> lie in a common field with <var class="Arg">scalar</var>; in this case the product is a new matrix over the same field where each entry is the product of the scalar and the corresponding entry of the matrix.</p>
<p>More general situations are for example the product of an integer scalar and a matrix over a finite field, or the product of a finite field element and an integer matrix.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">vec</var> * <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p>returns the product of the row vector <var class="Arg">vec</var> and the matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>. Probably the most usual situation is that <var class="Arg">vec</var> and <var class="Arg">mat</var> have the same lengths and are defined over a common field, and that all rows of <var class="Arg">mat</var> have the same length <span class="SimpleMath">m</span>, say; in this case the product is a new row vector of length <span class="SimpleMath">m</span> over the same field which is the sum of the scalar multiples of the rows of <var class="Arg">mat</var> with the corresponding entries of <var class="Arg">vec</var>.</p>
<p>More general situations are for example the product of an integer vector and a matrix over a finite field, or the product of a vector over a finite field and an integer matrix.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat</var> * <var class="Arg">vec</var></code></p>
<p>returns the product of the matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var> and the row vector <var class="Arg">vec</var>. (This is the standard product of a matrix with a <em>column</em> vector.) Probably the most usual situation is that the length of <var class="Arg">vec</var> and of all rows of <var class="Arg">mat</var> are equal, and that the elements of <var class="Arg">mat</var> and <var class="Arg">vec</var> lie in a common field; in this case the product is a new row vector of the same length as <var class="Arg">mat</var> and over the same field which is the sum of the scalar multiples of the columns of <var class="Arg">mat</var> with the corresponding entries of <var class="Arg">vec</var>.</p>
<p>More general situations are for example the product of an integer matrix and a vector over a finite field, or the product of a matrix over a finite field and an integer vector.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat1</var> * <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code></p>
<p>This form evaluates to the (Cauchy) product of the two matrices <var class="Arg">mat1</var> and <var class="Arg">mat2</var>. Probably the most usual situation is that the number of columns of <var class="Arg">mat1</var> equals the number of rows of <var class="Arg">mat2</var>, and that the elements of <var class="Arg">mat</var> and <var class="Arg">vec</var> lie in a common field; if <var class="Arg">mat1</var> is a matrix with <span class="SimpleMath">m</span> rows and <span class="SimpleMath">n</span> columns, say, and <var class="Arg">mat2</var> is a matrix with <span class="SimpleMath">n</span> rows and <span class="SimpleMath">o</span> columns, the result is a new matrix with <span class="SimpleMath">m</span> rows and <span class="SimpleMath">o</span> columns. The element in row <span class="SimpleMath">i</span> at position <span class="SimpleMath">j</span> of the product is the sum of <span class="SimpleMath"><var class="Arg">mat1</var>[i][l] * <var class="Arg">mat2</var>[l][j]</span>, with <span class="SimpleMath">l</span> running from <span class="SimpleMath">1</span> to <span class="SimpleMath">n</span>.</p>
<p><code class="code">Inverse( <var class="Arg">mat</var> )</code></p>
<p>returns the inverse of the matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>, which must be an invertible square matrix. If <var class="Arg">mat</var> is not invertible then <code class="keyw">fail</code> is returned.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat1</var> / <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">scalar</var> / <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>

<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">vec</var> / <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p>In general, <code class="code"><var class="Arg">left</var> / <var class="Arg">right</var></code> is defined as <code class="code"><var class="Arg">left</var> * <var class="Arg">right</var>^-1</code>. Thus in the above forms the right operand must always be invertible.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat</var> ^ <var class="Arg">int</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat1</var> ^ <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">vec</var> ^ <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p>Powering a square matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var> by an integer <var class="Arg">int</var> yields the <var class="Arg">int</var>-th power of <var class="Arg">mat</var>; if <var class="Arg">int</var> is negative then <var class="Arg">mat</var> must be invertible, if <var class="Arg">int</var> is <code class="code">0</code> then the result is the identity matrix <code class="code">One( <var class="Arg">mat</var> )</code>, even if <var class="Arg">mat</var> is not invertible.</p>
<p>Powering a square matrix <var class="Arg">mat1</var> by an invertible square matrix <var class="Arg">mat2</var> of the same dimensions yields the conjugate of <var class="Arg">mat1</var> by <var class="Arg">mat2</var>, i.e., the matrix <code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat2</var>^-1 * <var class="Arg">mat1</var> * <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code>.</p>
<p>Powering a row vector <var class="Arg">vec</var> by a matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var> is in every respect equivalent to <code class="code"><var class="Arg">vec</var> * <var class="Arg">mat</var></code>. This operations reflects the fact that matrices act naturally on row vectors by multiplication from the right, and that the powering operator is <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>'s standard for group actions.</p>
<p><code class="code">Comm( <var class="Arg">mat1</var>, <var class="Arg">mat2</var> )</code></p>
<p>returns the commutator of the square invertible matrices <var class="Arg">mat1</var> and <var class="Arg">mat2</var> of the same dimensions and over a common field, which is the matrix <code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat1</var>^-1 * <var class="Arg">mat2</var>^-1 * <var class="Arg">mat1</var> * <var class="Arg">mat2</var></code>.</p>
<p>The following cases are still special cases of the general list arithmetic defined in <a href="chap21.html#X845EEAF083D43CCE"><span class="RefLink">21.11</span></a>.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">scalar</var> + <var class="Arg">matlist</var></code></p>

<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">matlist</var> / <var class="Arg">scalar</var></code></p>
<p>A scalar <var class="Arg">scalar</var> may also be added, subtracted, multiplied with, or divided into a list <var class="Arg">matlist</var> of matrices. The result is a new list of matrices where each matrix is the result of performing the operation with the corresponding matrix in <var class="Arg">matlist</var>.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">mat</var> * <var class="Arg">matlist</var></code></p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">matlist</var> * <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p>A matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var> may also be multiplied with a list <var class="Arg">matlist</var> of matrices. The result is a new list of matrices, where each entry is the product of <var class="Arg">mat</var> and the corresponding entry in <var class="Arg">matlist</var>.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">matlist</var> / <var class="Arg">mat</var></code></p>
<p>Dividing a list <var class="Arg">matlist</var> of matrices by an invertible matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var> evaluates to <code class="code"><var class="Arg">matlist</var> * <var class="Arg">mat</var>^-1</code>.</p>
<p><code class="code"><var class="Arg">vec</var> * <var class="Arg">matlist</var></code></p>

The lengths <var class="Arg">l</var> of <var class="Arg">vec</var> and <var class="Arg">matlist</var> must be equal. All matrices in <var class="Arg">matlist</var> must have the same dimensions. The elements of <var class="Arg">vec</var> and the elements of the matrices in <var class="Arg">matlist</var> must lie in a common ring. The product is the sum over <code class="code"><var class="Arg">vec</var>[<var class="Arg">i</var>] * <var class="Arg">matlist</var>[<var class="Arg">i</var>]</code> with <var class="Arg">i</var> running from 1 to <var class="Arg">l</var>.</p>

However, the latter function makes a copy of <var class="Arg">mat</var> to avoid having to change it.

<p>The variant <code class="func">TriangulizedNullspaceMatDestructive</code> returns a basis of the nullspace in triangulized form. It may destroy the matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>.</p>

<p>For a square matrix <var class="Arg">mat</var>, <code class="func">CharacteristicPolynomial</code> returns the <em>characteristic polynomial</em> of <var class="Arg">mat</var>, that is, the <code class="func">StandardAssociate</code> (<a href="chap56.html#X7B1A9A4C7C59FB36"><span class="RefLink">56.5-5</span></a>) of the determinant of the matrix <span class="SimpleMath"><var class="Arg">mat</var> - X ⋅ I</span>, where <span class="SimpleMath">X</span> is an indeterminate and <span class="SimpleMath">I</span> is the appropriate identity matrix.</p>
<p>If fields <var class="Arg">F</var> and <var class="Arg">E</var> are given, then <var class="Arg">F</var> must be a subfield of <var class="Arg">E</var>, and <var class="Arg">mat</var> must have entries in <var class="Arg">E</var>.

In this case, the characteristic polynomial is computed using <code class="func">BlownUpMat</code> (<a href="chap24.html#X85923C107A4569D0"><span class="RefLink">24.13-3</span></a>) for the field extension of <span class="SimpleMath">E/F</span> generated by the default field. Thus, if <span class="SimpleMath">F = E</span>, the result is the same as for the one argument version.</p>
<p>The returned polynomials are expressed in the indeterminate number <var class="Arg">ind</var>. If <var class="Arg">ind</var> is not given, it defaults to <span class="SimpleMath">1</span>.</p>

<p>All compressed matrices over GF(2) are viewed as <code class="code"><a <var class="Arg">n</var>x<var class="Arg">m</var> matrix over GF2></code>, while over fields GF(q) for q between 3 and 256, matrices with 25 or more entries are viewed in this way, and smaller ones as lists of lists.</p>
<p>Matrices can be converted to this special representation via the following functions.</p>
<p>Note that the main advantage of this special representation of matrices is in low dimensions, where various overheads can be reduced. In higher dimensions, a list of compressed vectors will be almost as fast. Note also that list access and assignment will be somewhat slower for compressed matrices than for plain lists.</p>
<p>In order to form a row of a compressed matrix a vector must accept certain restrictions. Specifically, it cannot change its length or change the field over which it is compressed.

The NC versions of the function do less checking of the argument and may cause unpredictable results or crashes if given unsuitable arguments.

<p>Instead of a <var class="Arg">field</var> also its size <var class="Arg">fieldsize</var> may be given.</p>
<p>It is forbidden to call this function unless all elements of <var class="Arg">list</var> are row vectors with entries in the field <var class="Arg">field</var>. Violation of this condition can lead to unpredictable behaviour or a system crash. (Setting the assertion level to at least 2 might catch some violations before a crash, see <code class="func">SetAssertionLevel</code> (<a href="chap7.html#X7C7596418423660B"><span class="RefLink">7.5-1</span></a>).)</p>

This is called level 8 grease. To optimise memory access patterns, these combinations are stored for <span class="SimpleMath">(b+255)/256</span> sets of 8 rows at once. This number is called the blocking level.</p>
<p>These levels of grease and blocking are found experimentally to give good performance across a range of processors and matrix sizes, but other levels may do even better in some cases. You can control the levels exactly using the functions below.</p>
<p>We plan to include greased blocked matrix multiplication for other finite fields, and greased blocked algorithms for inversion and other matrix operations in a future release.</p>
