pylops.BlockDiag

class pylops.BlockDiag(ops, dtype=None)[source]

Block-diagonal operator.

Create a block-diagonal operator from N linear operators.

Parameters:
ops : list

Linear operators to be stacked

dtype : str, optional

Type of elements in input array.

Notes

A block-diagonal operator composed of N linear operators is created such as its application in forward mode leads to

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L_1} & \mathbf{0} & ... & \mathbf{0} \\ \mathbf{0} & \mathbf{L_2} & ... & \mathbf{0} \\ ... & ... & ... & ... \\ \mathbf{0} & \mathbf{0} & ... & \mathbf{L_N} \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{x}_{1} \\ \mathbf{x}_{2} \\ ... \\ \mathbf{x}_{N} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L_1} \mathbf{x}_{1} \\ \mathbf{L_2} \mathbf{x}_{2} \\ ... \\ \mathbf{L_N} \mathbf{x}_{N} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

while its application in adjoint mode leads to

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L_1}^H \quad \mathbf{0} \quad ... \quad \mathbf{0} \\ \mathbf{0} \quad \mathbf{L_2}^H \quad ... \quad \mathbf{0} \\ ... \quad ... \quad ... \quad ... \\ \mathbf{0} \quad \mathbf{0} \quad ... \quad \mathbf{L_N}^H \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{y}_{1} \\ \mathbf{y}_{2} \\ ... \\ \mathbf{y}_{N} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{L_1}^H \mathbf{y}_{1} \\ \mathbf{L_2}^H \mathbf{y}_{2} \\ ... \\ \mathbf{L_N}^H \mathbf{y}_{N} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]
Attributes:
shape : tuple

Operator shape

explicit : bool

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