linalg_norm function

Computes a vector or matrix norm.

Computes a vector or matrix norm.

If A is complex valued, it computes the norm of A$abs()

Supports input of float, double, cfloat and cdouble dtypes. Whether this function computes a vector or matrix norm is determined as follows:

linalg_norm(A, ord = NULL, dim = NULL, keepdim = FALSE, dtype = NULL)

Arguments

  • A: (Tensor): tensor of shape (*, n) or (*, m, n) where * is zero or more batch dimensions
  • ord: (int, float, inf, -inf, 'fro', 'nuc', optional): order of norm. Default: NULL
  • dim: (int, Tuple[int], optional): dimensions over which to compute the vector or matrix norm. See above for the behavior when dim=NULL. Default: NULL
  • keepdim: (bool, optional): If set to TRUE, the reduced dimensions are retained in the result as dimensions with size one. Default: FALSE
  • dtype: dtype (torch_dtype, optional): If specified, the input tensor is cast to dtype before performing the operation, and the returned tensor's type will be dtype. Default: NULL

Details

  • If dim is an int, the vector norm will be computed.
  • If dim is a 2-tuple, the matrix norm will be computed.
  • If dim=NULL and ord=NULL, A will be flattened to 1D and the 2-norm of the resulting vector will be computed.
  • If dim=NULL and ord!=NULL, A must be 1D or 2D.

ord defines the norm that is computed. The following norms are supported:

ordnorm for matricesnorm for vectors
NULL (default)Frobenius norm2 -norm (see below)
"fro"Frobenius norm– not supported –
"nuc"nuclear norm– not supported –
Infmax(sum(abs(x), dim=2))max(abs(x))
-Infmin(sum(abs(x), dim=2))min(abs(x))
0– not supported –sum(x != 0)
1max(sum(abs(x), dim=1))as below
-1min(sum(abs(x), dim=1))as below
2largest singular valueas below
-2smallest singular valueas below
other int or float– not supported –sum(abs(x)^{ord})^{(1 / ord)}

Examples

if (torch_is_installed()) { a <- torch_arange(0, 8, dtype = torch_float()) - 4 a b <- a$reshape(c(3, 3)) b linalg_norm(a) linalg_norm(b) }
