PyTorch torch.cholesky_inverse Function


Pytorch torch 参考手册PyTorch torch Reference Manual

torch.cholesky_inverseIt is a function in PyTorch used to compute the inverse of a Cholesky decomposition. It uses the result of the Cholesky decomposition to efficiently compute the inverse of a matrix.

Function Definition

torch.cholesky_inverse(L, upper=False, out=None)

Parameters:

  • L(Tensor): The upper or lower triangular matrix obtained from Cholesky decomposition.
  • upper(bool, optional): If True, L is an upper triangular matrix; otherwise, it is a lower triangular matrix. Default is False.
  • out(Tensor, optional): Output tensor.

Return Value:

  • torch.Tensor: Returns the inverse of the original matrix.

Usage Example

Example

import torch

# Create a symmetric positive definite matrix
A = torch.tensor([[4.0, 2.0, 2.0],
                  [2.0, 5.0, 3.0],
                  [2.0, 3.0, 6.0]], dtype=torch.float64)

# Cholesky decomposition
L = torch.cholesky(A)

# Compute the inverse matrix using Cholesky decomposition
A_inv = torch.cholesky_inverse(L)

print("Original matrix A:")
print(A)
print("nInverse matrix A^-1:")
print(A_inv)
print("nVerification: A @ A^-1 =")
print(A @ A_inv)

The output result is:

原矩阵 A:
tensor([[4., 2., 2.],
        [2., 5., 3.],
        [2., 3., 6.]], dtype=torch.float64)

逆矩阵 A^-1:
tensor([[ 0.7500, -0.5000, -0.2500],
        [-0.5000,  1.0000, -0.0000],
        [-0.2500, -0.0000,  0.2500]], dtype=torch.float64)

验证: A @ A^-1 =
tensor([[ 1.0000e+00, -1.4901e-08,  0.0000e+00],
        [-7.4506e-09,  1.0000e+00,  1.4901e-08],
        [ 0.0000e+00,  7.4506e-09,  1.0000e+00]], dtype=torch.float64)
