 '----------------'  '----------------'  '----------------'

nml is a simple matrix and linear algebra library written in standard C.

Code should be portable and there are no dependencies.

For a detailed explanation of the library code please check this blog post.

It currently supports:

The library is still under development, but a few thousands test cases are already implemented, covering the most complex algorithms (REF, RREF, LUP, QR, DET, INV, BACKWARD SUBSTITION, FORWARD SUBSTITION, etc.)

Table of Contents

Compile / Run Examples

The build file for the library it's called nml.sh. It's actually a bash script (not a makefile!).

Building the library

./nml.sh clean build

This will compile the library, create a dist folder where you will find *.a static library file and the header files.

gcc and ar should be available in $PATH.

If you want to use the clang compiler instead of gcc you need to manually edit the ./nml.sh file, changing the variable CC from gcc to clang. Nothing else should be changed.

# COMPILING RELATED
CC=clang #<----------------- here
CCFLAGS="-Wall -c"
CCFLAGS_EXAMPLES="-Wall"

Building the examples

Examples can be found in the ./examples folder.

To build the code examples:

./nml.sh clean examples
  1. This will create an examples/lib folder where the libnml.a and the header files will be copied;
  2. The examples/*.c will be compiled with the latest version of libnml;
  3. For each examples/*.c an executable (*.ex) will be created.

To run an example:

# ./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/<example name>.ex
./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/playground.ex

Running the tests

To run the tests

./nml.sh clean test
  1. This will create a test/lib folder where the libnml.a and the header files will be copied;
  2. Each test tests/*.c will be compiled with the latest version of libnml;
  3. For each test tests/*/c an executable (*.ex) will be created.

The test data was generated using sympy. In the tests/generators/ folder you can find the python3 (.py) scripts used to generate the data.

Cleaning

./nml.sh clean

This will clean everything (*.o,*.ex,*.a) and will leave the library folder in a clean state.

How to use the library

A few examples can be found in the ./examples folder folder.

Creating matrices

All the methods are interacting with the nml_mat struct:

typedef struct nml_mat_s {
  unsigned int num_rows;
  unsigned int num_cols;
  double **data;
  int is_square;
} nml_mat;

To interact the elements of the matrix:

nml_mat *m = ...
m->data[i][j] = ...

Creating a new Matrix

The methods for a creating a new matrix are:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_new(unsigned int num_rows, unsigned int num_cols)
    • Creates a num_rows * num_cols matrix of zeroes.
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_sqr(unsigned int size)
    • Creates a square size * size matrix of zeroes.
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_eye(unsigned int size)
    • Creates an identity size * size matrix.
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_cp(nml_mat *m)
    • Returns a new identitcal copy of matrix m.

Everytime we create a matrix, we dynamically allocate memory. To free the memory please use: nml_mat_free(nml_mat *m).

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {


  nml_mat* m, *mx;

  printf("\nCreating an empty matrix with 2x3\n");
  m = nml_mat_new(2,3);
  nml_mat_print(m);
  nml_mat_free(m);

  printf("\nCreating a square matrix 5x5 \n");
  m = nml_mat_sqr(5);
  nml_mat_print(m);
  nml_mat_free(m);

  printf("\nCreating an ID 7x7 Matrix and copying it into another matrix:\n");
  m = nml_mat_eye(7);
  mx = nml_mat_cp(m);
  nml_mat_print(m);
  nml_mat_print(mx);
  nml_mat_free(m);
  nml_mat_free(mx);

  return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/creating_a_matrix.ex

Creating a marray from an array (double[N])

An array can be used as the "data source" for the Matrix by using:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_from(unsigned int num_rows, unsigned int num_cols, unsigned int n_vals, double *vals)
    • num_rows and num_cols represent the dimensions of the matrix;
    • n_vals how many values to read from the vals source. If n_vals is smaller than the product num_cols * num_rows, 0.0 will be used as the default value;
    • vals the array containing double values.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { 
    double array[6] = { 
        1.0, 0.2, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 3.1 
    };
    nml_mat* my;
    
    // 3 rows, 2 columns
    // read exactly 6 numbers from array[6]
    my = nml_mat_from(3, 2, 6, array);
    nml_mat_print(my);
    nml_mat_free(my);

    // 4 rows, 2 columns
    // read exactly 3 numbers from array[6]
    my = nml_mat_from(4, 2, 3, array);
    nml_mat_print(my);
    nml_mat_free(my);

    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/creating_a_matrix_from_an_array.ex

Creating a Matrix from an external file

The two methods that can be used to create a matrix from a file on disk are:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_fromfile(const char *file)
    • Create a matrix from the file path. If the file cannot be opened a NULL matrix will be returned.
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_fromfilef(FILE *f)
    • Creates a matrix from am already opened stream f. Does not automatically close the stream (FILE).

In the file, the matrix has the following format:

4 5
0.0     1.0     2.0     5.0     3.0
3.0     8.0     9.0     1.0     4.0
2.0     3.0     7.0     1.0     1.0
0.0     0.0     4.0     3.0     8.0

On the first line 4 represents the number of rows and 5 represents the number of columns of the Matrix Then next lines contain the matrix elements: 4 * 5 = 20 numbers.

Example code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    const char *f = "examples/data/matrix1.data";
    nml_mat *from_file = nml_mat_fromfile(f);
    nml_mat_print(from_file);
    nml_mat_free(from_file);

    // Or if the file is already opened

    FILE *m_file = fopen("examples/data/matrix2.data", "r");
    nml_mat *from_file2 = nml_mat_fromfilef(m_file);
    nml_mat_print(from_file2);
    nml_mat_free(from_file2);
    fclose(m_file);

    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/creating_a_matrix_from_file.ex

Creating a matrix from user input

The nml_mat *nml_mat_fromfilef(FILE *f) can be called, with f=stdin.

Code example:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    nml_mat *from_file2 = nml_mat_fromfilef(stdin);
    nml_mat_print(from_file2);
    nml_mat_free(from_file2);
    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/creating_a_matrix_from_user_input.ex

Creating randomized matrices

Creating a randomized matrix can be done with the following two methods:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_rnd(unsigned int num_rows, unsigned int num_cols, double min, double max)
    • Creates a randomized matrix of size num_rows * num_cols;
    • The random values are between min and max;
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_sqr_rnd(unsigned int size, double min, double max)
    • Creates a randomized matrix of size size * size;
    • The random values are between min and max;
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  srand(time(NULL)); // Should be called once per program
  nml_mat *m = nml_mat_rnd(5, 5, -10.0, 10.0);
  nml_mat_print(m);
  nml_mat_free(m);
  return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/create_randomized_matrix.ex

Check if two matrices are equal

There are two "equality" methods for matrices:

  • int nml_mat_eqdim(nml_mat *m1, nml_mat *m2)

    • Tests if two matrices have the same dimension.

  • int nml_mat_eq(nml_mat *m1, nml_mat *m2, double tolerance)

    • Test if two matrices are equal:
      • They have the same dimensions
      • The elements are equal or close of being equal.
    • If you want the elements to be "exactly" eqaul, tolerance=0.0
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    srand(time(NULL));
    nml_mat *m1 = nml_mat_rnd(2, 3, 1.0, 10.0);
    nml_mat *m2 = nml_mat_rnd(2, 3, 1.0, 10.0);

    if (nml_mat_eq(m1, m2, 0.001)) {
        printf("Wow, what were the oddss..\n");
    } else {
        printf("It's ok, nobody is that lucky!\n");
    }
    if (nml_mat_eqdim(m1, m2)) {
        printf("At least we know they both have the same number of rows and columns.\n");
    }

    nml_mat_free(m1);
    nml_mat_free(m2);
    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/matrix_equality.ex

Accesing and modifying matrix elements

Select rows and columns

Two methods can be used to select rows and columns from a source matrix (nml_mat*):

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_col_get(nml_mat *m, unsigned int col)
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_row_get(nml_mat *m, unsigned int row)

The following code extracts every column of a given random matrix into a temporary column matrix (nml_mat*):

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  printf("\nExtract all matrix columns from a Matrix as matrices\n");
  srand(time(NULL));
  nml_mat *m = nml_mat_rnd(5, 5, -10.0, 10.0);
  nml_mat *col;
  nml_mat_print(m);
  int i = 0;
  for(i = 0; i < m->num_cols; i++) {
    col = nml_mat_col_get(m, i);
    nml_mat_print(col);
    nml_mat_free(col);
  }
  nml_mat_free(m);
  return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/select_columns.ex

Set all elements to a value

Use: void nml_mat_all_set(nml_mat *matrix, double value)

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    // Creates a matrix of zeros of size = 5
    nml_mat *pi_mat = nml_mat_sqr(5);

    // Sets all elements to PI
    nml_mat_all_set(pi_mat, M_PI);

    nml_mat_print(pi_mat);
    nml_mat_free(pi_mat);
    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/set_all_elements.ex

Set the first diagonal to a value

Use: int nml_mat_diag_set(nml_mat *matrix, double value)

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    // Creates a matrix of zeros of size = 5
    nml_mat *pi_mat = nml_mat_sqr(5);

    // Sets the first diagonal to PI
    nml_mat_diag_set(pi_mat, M_PI);

    nml_mat_print(pi_mat);
    nml_mat_free(pi_mat);
    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/set_diagonal_elements.ex

Scalar multiply the matrix

Use:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_smult(nml_mat *m, double num)
    • Multiplies all elements of matrix m with num. A new matrix is returned.
  • int nml_mat_smult_r(nml_mat *m, double num)
    • Multiplies all elements of matrix m with num. All changes are done on matrix m.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    nml_mat *m = nml_mat_eye(5);

    // Multiply all elements of m with 2.0
    // and return a new matrix

    nml_mat *new_m = nml_mat_smult(m, 2.0);

    if (!(nml_mat_eq(m, new_m, 0.0))) {
        printf("It's normal to see this message.\n");
    }

    // Multiply all elements of m with 2.0
    // m is modified, no new matrix is created
    nml_mat_smult_r(m, 2.0);

    if (nml_mat_eq(m, new_m, 0.0)) {
        printf("It's even more normal to see this message.\n");
    }

    nml_mat_free(m);
    nml_mat_free(new_m);
    
    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/scalar_multiply.ex

Multiply rows

Use:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_row_mult(nml_mat *m, unsigned int row, double num)
    • Multiplies all elements from row row in matrix m with scalar num. A new matrix is returned. m remains un-altered.
  • int nml_mat_row_mult_r(nml_mat *m, unsigned int row, double num)
    • Multiplies all elements from row row in matrix m with scalar num. The changes are done directly on matrix m.

Example:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    nml_mat *a = nml_mat_new(4,5);
    nml_mat_all_set(a, 1.0);
    int i = 0;
    for(; i < a->num_rows; ++i) {
        // Changes are doing on matrix a
        // row[i] is multiplied with (double) i
        nml_mat_row_mult_r(a, i, (double)i);
    }
    nml_mat_print(a);

    // Create a new matrix b by multiplying row[1] 
    // in matrix a with 5.0.
    // Matrix a remains unchanged
    nml_mat *b = nml_mat_row_mult(a, 1, 5.0);
    nml_mat_print(b);
    nml_mat_free(a);
    nml_mat_free(b);
    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/multiply_rows.ex

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/multiply_rows.ex

Add rows

The following methods are used to add a row to another row (with a multiplicator). This method is usally used when implementing various forms of matrix reduction or decompositions.

Use:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_row_addrow(nml_mat *m, unsigned int where, unsigned int row, double multiplier)
    • This will do the following: m->data[where][...] *= m->data[row][...] * multiplier. The results will be kept in a new matrix. Matrix m remains unchanged.
  • int nml_mat_row_addrow_r(nml_mat *m, unsigned int where, unsigned int row, double multiplier)
    • This will do the following: m->data[where][...] *= m->data[row][...] * multiplier. The changes are done directly on m.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    nml_mat *m = nml_mat_rnd(5, 4, 1.0, 2.0);
    nml_mat_print(m);

    // Add row[1] elements to row[2] elements

    nml_mat_row_addrow_r(m, 2, 1, 1.0);

    // Add row[1] to row[0] with a multiplier of 2.0

    nml_mat_row_addrow_r(m, 0, 1, 2.0);

    nml_mat_print(m);
    nml_mat_free(m);

    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/row_plus_row.ex

Modifying the matrix structure

Remove rows and columns

To remove columns:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_col_rem(nml_mat *m, unsigned int column)
    • A new matrix is being created, m remains the same.

To remove rows:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_row_rem(nml_mat *m, unsigned int row)
    • A new matrix is being created, m remains the same.

Example:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    nml_mat *m = nml_mat_sqr_rnd(4, 1.0, 2.0);
    nml_mat_print(m);

    // Remove column[1] from m
    // m remains the same
    // less_columns is another matrix 
    nml_mat *less_columns = nml_mat_col_rem(m, 1);
    nml_mat_print(less_columns);

    // Remove row[0] from less_columns
    // less_columns remains the same
    // less_rows is another matrix
    nml_mat *less_rows = nml_mat_row_rem(less_columns, 0);
    nml_mat_print(less_rows);

    nml_mat_free(m);
    nml_mat_free(less_columns);
    nml_mat_free(less_rows);

    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh examples && ./examples/remove_columns_rows.ex

Swap rows and columns

Use:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_row_swap(nml_mat *m, unsigned int row1, unsigned int row2)
  • int nml_mat_row_swap_r(nml_mat *m, unsigned int row1, unsigned int row2)
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_col_swap(nml_mat *m, unsigned int col1, unsigned int col2)
  • int nml_mat_col_swap_r(nml_mat *m, unsigned int col1, unsigned int col2)
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  srand(time(NULL));

  nml_mat *m = nml_mat_sqr_rnd(8, 0.0, 10.0);

  printf("m=");
  nml_mat_print(m);

  printf("m= (...after swapping col1=%d with col2=%d):\n", 1, 2);
  nml_mat_col_swap_r(m, 1, 2);
  nml_mat_print(m);

  printf("newm= (...after swapping col1=%d with col2=%d and creating a new matrix):\n", 0, 1);
  nml_mat *newm = nml_mat_col_swap(m, 0, 1);
  nml_mat_print(newm);

  printf("m= (...after swapping row1=%d with row2=%d)\n", 0, 2);
  nml_mat_row_swap_r(m, 0, 2);
  nml_mat_print(m);

  nml_mat_free(m);
  nml_mat_free(newm);

  return 0;
}

Concatenate matrices

Two or more matrices can be concatenated (horizontally) or (vertically) into one matrix.

To achieve this, please use:

  • nml_mat *nml_mat_cath(unsigned int mnun, nml_mat **matrices)
    • For horizontal concatenation. A new matrix is returned.
    • num represents the number of matrices to concatenate.
    • matrices the matrices to be concatenated.
  • nml_mat *nml_mat_catv(unsigned int mnum, nml_mat **matrices)
    • For vertical concatenation. A new matrix is returned.
    • num represents the number of matrices to concatenate.
    • matrices the matrices to be concatenated.

LU(P) Decomposition

To decompose a matrix using LU you can use: nml_mat_lup *nml_mat_lup_solve(nml_mat *m).

The result is a pointer nml_mat_lup*:

typedef struct nml_mat_lup_s {
  nml_mat *L;
  nml_mat *U;
  nml_mat *P;
  unsigned int num_permutations;
} nml_mat_lup;

To free the nml_mat_lup*. Please use void nml_mat_lup_free(nml_mat_lup* lu). This will also deallocate the memory for the three internal nml_mat* pointers.

LU decomposition is used for solving linear systems of equations, computing the determinant and the inverse of a matrix.

Example:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    nml_mat *m1 = nml_mat_sqr_rnd(4, 0.0, 10.0);
    printf("m1=\n");
    nml_mat_print(m1);

    nml_mat_lup *m1_lup = nml_mat_lup_solve(m1);
    printf("L, U, P:\n");
    nml_mat_lup_print(m1_lup);

    nml_mat_free(m1);
    nml_mat_lup_free(m1_lup);

    return 0;
}

    3.0, 5.0, 1.0, 9.0
  };
  nml_mat *m = nml_mat_from(4,4,16, m_v);
  nml_mat_lup *lup = nml_mat_lup_solve(m);
  nml_mat* minv = nml_mat_inv(lup);
  nml_mat *mdotminv = nml_mat_dot(m, minv);

  printf("m=");
  nml_mat_print(m);
  printf("minv=");
  nml_mat_print(minv);
  printf("(%%e) m * minv=");
  nml_mat_printf(mdotminv, "%e\t");

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    nml_mat *m1 = nml_mat_sqr_rnd(4, 0.0, 10.0);

Solve linear systems of equations

Solving A * x = B where A is lower triangular (Forward Substitution)

Use: nml_mat *nml_ls_solvefwd(nml_mat *low_triang, nml_mat *b).

Note: no validation will be performed to check is low_triang is a lower triangular matrix

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    
    FILE *input = fopen("./examples/data/matrix9_lower_triangular.data", "r");

    nml_mat *A = nml_mat_fromfilef(input);
    nml_mat *B = nml_mat_fromfilef(input);
    nml_mat *x = nml_ls_solvefwd(A, B);

    nml_mat_print(A);
    nml_mat_print(B);
    nml_mat_print(x);

    nml_mat_free(A);
    nml_mat_free(B);
    nml_mat_free(x);

    fclose(input);

    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/forward_substition.ex

Solving A * x = B where A is upper traingular (Backward Substition)

Use: nml_mat *nml_ls_solvebck(nml_mat *upper_triang, nml_mat *b).

Note: no validation will be performed to check is upper_triang is an upper triangular matrix

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    
    FILE *input = fopen("./examples/data/matrix10_upper_triangular.data", "r");

    nml_mat *A = nml_mat_fromfilef(input);
    nml_mat *B = nml_mat_fromfilef(input);
    nml_mat *x = nml_ls_solvebck(A, B);

    nml_mat_print(A);
    nml_mat_print(B);
    nml_mat_print(x);

    nml_mat_free(A);
    nml_mat_free(B);
    nml_mat_free(x);

    fclose(input);

    return 0;
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && examples/backward_substitution.ex

Solving A * x = B using LU(P) decomposition

Use: nml_mat *nml_ls_solve(nml_mat_lup *lup, nml_mat* b).

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "lib/nml.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    nml_mat *A = nml_mat_sqr_rnd(4, 1.0, 10.0);
    nml_mat *B = nml_mat_rnd(4, 1, 1.0, 10.0);
    nml_mat_lup *LUP = nml_mat_lup_solve(A);

    nml_mat *x = nml_ls_solve(LUP, B);
    nml_mat_print(x);

    nml_mat_free(A);
    nml_mat_free(B);
    nml_mat_free(x);
    nml_mat_lup_free(LUP);
}

To run the example:

./nml.sh clean examples && ./examples/ls_solve.ex

About

nml is a "simple" matrix/numerical analysis library written in pure C. The scope of the library is to highlight various algorithm implementations related to matrices. Code readability was a major concern.
