pylops.Identity

class pylops.Identity(N, M=None, dtype='float64', inplace=True)[source]

Identity operator.

Simply move model to data in forward model and viceversa in adjoint mode if \(M = N\). If \(M > N\) removes last \(M - N\) elements from model in forward and pads with \(0\) in adjoint. If \(N > M\) removes last \(N - M\) elements from data in adjoint and pads with \(0\) in forward.

Parameters:
N : int

Number of samples in data (and model, if M is not provided).

M : int, optional

Number of samples in model.

dtype : str, optional

Type of elements in input array.

inplace : bool, optional

Work inplace (True) or make a new copy (False). By default, data is a reference to the model (in forward) and model is a reference to the data (in adjoint).

Notes

For \(M = N\), an Identity operator simply moves the model \(\mathbf{x}\) to the data \(\mathbf{y}\) in forward mode and viceversa in adjoint mode:

\[y_i = x_i \quad \forall i=1,2,\ldots,N\]

or in matrix form:

\[\mathbf{y} = \mathbf{I} \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{x}\]

and

\[\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{I} \mathbf{y} = \mathbf{y}\]

For \(M > N\), the Identity operator takes the first \(M\) elements of the model \(\mathbf{x}\) into the data \(\mathbf{y}\) in forward mode

\[y_i = x_i \quad \forall i=1,2,\ldots,N\]

and all the elements of the data \(\mathbf{y}\) into the first \(M\) elements of model in adjoint mode (other elements are O):

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}x_i = y_i \quad \forall i=1,2,\ldots,M\\x_i = 0 \quad \forall i=M+1,\ldots,N\end{aligned}\end{align} \]
Attributes:
shape : tuple

Operator shape

explicit : bool

Operator contains a matrix that can be solved explicitly (True) or not (False)
