Function Modelica.​Math.​Vectors.​Utilities.​householderVector
Calculate a normalized householder vector to reflect vector a onto vector b

Information

Syntax

Vectors.Utilities.householderVector(a,b);

Description

The function call "householderVector(a, b)" returns the normalized Householder vector u for Householder reflection of input vector a onto vector b, i.e., Householder vector u is the normal vector of the reflection plane. Algebraically, the reflection is performed by transformation matrix Q

Q = I - 2*u*u',

i.e., vector a is mapped to

a -> Q*a=c*b

with scalar c, |c| = ||a|| / ||b||. Q*a is the reflection of a about the hyperplane orthogonal to u. Q is an orthogonal matrix, i.e.

Q = inv(Q) = Q'

Example

  a = {2, -4, -2, -1};
  b = {1, 0, 0, 0};

  u = householderVector(a,b);    // {0.837, -0.478, -0.239, -0.119}
                               // Computation (identity(4) - 2*matrix(u)*transpose(matrix(u)))*a results in
                               // {-5, 0, 0, 0} = -5*b

Function Modelica.​Math.​Vectors.​Utilities.​householderReflection
Reflect a vector a on a plane with orthogonal vector u

Information

Syntax

Vectors.Utilities.householderReflection(a,u);

Description

Function "householderReflection(a, u)" performs the reflection of vector a about a plane orthogonal to vector u (Householder vector). Algebraically the operation is defined by

b=Q*a

with

Q = I - 2*u*u',

where Q is an orthogonal matrix, i.e.

Q = inv(Q) = Q'

Example

  a = {2, -4, -2, -1};
  u = {0.837, -0.478, -0.239, -0.119};

  householderReflection(a,u);    //  = {-5.0, -0.001, -0.0005, -0.0044}

Function Modelica.​Math.​Vectors.​Utilities.​roots
Compute zeros of a polynomial where the highest coefficient is assumed as not to be zero

Information

Syntax

  r = Vectors.Utilities.roots(p);

Description

This function computes the roots of a polynomial P of x

  P = p[1]*x^n + p[2]*x^(n-1) + ... + p[n-1]*x + p[n+1];

with the coefficient vector p. It is assumed that the first element of p is not zero, i.e., that the polynomial is of order size(p,1)-1.

To compute the roots, the eigenvalues of the corresponding companion matrix C

         |-p[2]/p[1]  -p[3]/p[1]  ...  -p[n-2]/p[1]  -p[n-1]/p[1]  -p[n]/p[1] |
         |    1            0                0               0           0     |
         |    0            1      ...       0               0           0     |
  C =    |    .            .      ...       .               .           .     |
         |    .            .      ...       .               .           .     |
         |    0            0      ...       0               1           0     |

are calculated. These are the roots of the polynomial.
Since the companion matrix has already Hessenberg form, the transformation to Hessenberg form has not to be performed. Function eigenvaluesHessenberg
provides efficient eigenvalue computation for those matrices.

Example

  r = roots({1,2,3});
  // r = [-1.0,  1.41421356237309;
  //      -1.0, -1.41421356237309]
  // which corresponds to the roots: -1.0 +/- j*1.41421356237309
