This operator acts like a [batch] identity 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.
LinearOperatorIdentity is initialized with num_rows, and optionally
batch_shape, and dtype arguments. If batch_shape is None, this
operator efficiently passes through all arguments. If batch_shape is
provided, broadcasting may occur, which will require making copies.
# Create a 2 x 2 identity matrix.
operator = LinearOperatorIdentity(num_rows=2, dtype=tf.float32)
operator.to_dense()
==> [[1., 0.]
[0., 1.]]
operator.shape
==> [2, 2]
operator.log_abs_determinant()
==> 0.
x = ... Shape [2, 4] Tensor
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 4] Tensor, same as x.
y = tf.random.normal(shape=[3, 2, 4])
# Note that y.shape is compatible with operator.shape because operator.shape
# is broadcast to [3, 2, 2].
# This broadcast does NOT require copying data, since we can infer that y
# will be passed through without changing shape. We are always able to infer
# this if the operator has no batch_shape.
x = operator.solve(y)
==> Shape [3, 2, 4] Tensor, same as y.
# Create a 2-batch of 2x2 identity matrices
operator = LinearOperatorIdentity(num_rows=2, batch_shape=[2])
operator.to_dense()
==> [[[1., 0.]
[0., 1.]],
[[1., 0.]
[0., 1.]]]
# Here, even though the operator has a batch shape, the input is the same as
# the output, so x can be passed through without a copy. The operator is able
# to detect that no broadcast is necessary because both x and the operator
# have statically defined shape.
x = ... Shape [2, 2, 3]
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 2, 3] Tensor, same as x
# Here the operator and x have different batch_shape, and are broadcast.
# This requires a copy, since the output is different size than the input.
x = ... Shape [1, 2, 3]
operator.matmul(x)
==> Shape [2, 2, 3] Tensor, equal to [x, x]
Shape compatibility
This operator acts on [batch] matrix with compatible shape.
x is a batch matrix with compatible shape for matmul and solve if
operator.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [N, N], with b >= 0
x.shape = [C1,...,Cc] + [N, R],
and [C1,...,Cc] broadcasts with [B1,...,Bb] to [D1,...,Dd]
Performance
If batch_shape initialization arg is None:
operator.matmul(x) is O(1)
operator.solve(x) is O(1)
operator.determinant() is O(1)
If batch_shape initialization arg is provided, and static checks cannot
rule out the need to broadcast:
operator.matmul(x) is O(D1*...*Dd*N*R)
operator.solve(x) is O(D1*...*Dd*N*R)
operator.determinant() is O(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.
Args
num_rows
Scalar non-negative integer Tensor. Number of rows in the
corresponding identity matrix.
batch_shape
Optional 1-D integer Tensor. The shape of the leading

is_non_singular

is_positive_definite
Expect that this operator is positive definite,

is_square
Expect that this operator acts like square [batch] matrices.
