pylops.VStack

class pylops.VStack(ops, nproc=1, dtype=None)[source]

Vertical stacking.

Stack a set of N linear operators vertically.

Parameters:
ops : list

Linear operators to be stacked. Alternatively, numpy.ndarray or scipy.sparse matrices can be passed in place of one or more operators.

nproc : int, optional

Number of processes used to evaluate the N operators in parallel using multiprocessing. If nproc=1, work in serial mode.

dtype : str, optional

Type of elements in input array.

Raises:
ValueError

If ops have different number of rows

Notes

A vertical stack of N linear operators is created such as its application in forward mode leads to

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L}_{1} \\ \mathbf{L}_{2} \\ \vdots \\ \mathbf{L}_{N} \end{bmatrix} \mathbf{x} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L}_{1} \mathbf{x} \\ \mathbf{L}_{2} \mathbf{x} \\ \vdots \\ \mathbf{L}_{N} \mathbf{x} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{y}_{1} \\ \mathbf{y}_{2} \\ \vdots \\ \mathbf{y}_{N} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

while its application in adjoint mode leads to

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L}_{1}^H & \mathbf{L}_{2}^H & \ldots & \mathbf{L}_{N}^H \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{y}_{1} \\ \mathbf{y}_{2} \\ \vdots \\ \mathbf{y}_{N} \end{bmatrix} = \mathbf{L}_{1}^H \mathbf{y}_1 + \mathbf{L}_{2}^H \mathbf{y}_2 + \ldots + \mathbf{L}_{N}^H \mathbf{y}_N\end{split}\]
Attributes:
shape : tuple

Operator shape

explicit : bool

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