That breaks practically all LU code out there so we have to keep the array return for quite a while before we attempt deprecating it. On Mon, May 22, 2023 at 3:33 PM Christian Lorentzen <lorentzen.ch@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi How about returning the most efficient one, probably a 1-dim ndarray and then providing good examples and/or utility functions for this returned object/ndarray? This way, the LU function does not get overloaded.

Yes indeed that's something I checked but in sparse case there is no possibility of full array return due to the size constraints hence, say in SuperLU, they only have "perm_r" and "perm_c" integer 1D arrays anyways for row and column permutation indices. Also permutation index is a thing in combinatorics so I have
p_as_vector = False/True return_indices = False/True
so far that doesn't sound confusing and also not that ugly.

Conceptually this seems related to sparse matrices so I wonder if there is some helpful terminology there. Your 1D option would return “column indices” for the non-zero entries in each row of the 2D option.

[snip]
when
P, L, U = scipy.linalg.lu(A)
is run, currently, P is returning a full 2D array. If A is a tall array say, (25, 5) then P is necessarily (25, 25). And it is just a permutaiton matrix, a row shuffled np.eye(25). Instead, you can ask with this new keyword to return that shuffle pattern. as a 1D array and hence P becomes (25, ) array. [snip] Could you please offer some alternatives even just for inspiration?

It would be nice to add a quick note to the docs explaining when/which you should use. Currently both state "Compute pivoted LU decomposition of a matrix." which while true isn't very helpful for a user trying to decide which function to pick! _______________________________________________ SciPy-Dev mailing list -- scipy-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to scipy-dev-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/scipy-dev.python.org/ Member address: ilhanpolat@gmail.com
