Returns

y – A matrix or ndarray or RandomVariable with shape (M,) or (M,1) depending on the type and shape of the x argument.

Return type

{matrix, ndarray}

Notes

This matvec wraps the user-specified matvec routine or overridden _matvec method to ensure that y has the correct shape and type.

rank()

Rank of the linear operator.

rmatmat(X)

Adjoint matrix-matrix multiplication.

Performs the operation y = A^H * x where A is an MxN linear operator and x is a column vector or 1-d array, or 2-d array. The default implementation defers to the adjoint.

Parameters

X ({matrix, ndarray}) – A matrix or 2D array.

Returns

Y – A matrix or 2D array depending on the type of the input.

Return type
