求解多个线性稀疏矩阵方程:"numpy.linalg.solve" 与 "scipy.sparse.linalg.spsolve"

Solving multiple linear sparse matrix equations: "numpy.linalg.solve" vs. "scipy.sparse.linalg.spsolve"

我必须为 x 求解大量 "Ax=B" 类型的线性矩阵方程,其中 A 是主要填充主对角线的稀疏矩阵,B 是向量。

我的第一种方法是为此目的使用密集的 numpy 数组 numpy.linalg.solve,它适用于 (N,n,n) 维数组,其中 N 是线性矩阵方程的数量, n 方阵维度。我首先将它与遍历所有方程式的 for 循环一起使用,这实际上相当慢。但后来意识到您也可以将 (N,n,n) 维矩阵直接传递给 numpy.linalg.solve 而无需任何 for 循环(顺便说一句,我在阅读的文档中没有找到)。这已经大大提高了计算速度(详情见下文)。

但是,因为我有稀疏矩阵,所以我还查看了 scipy.sparse.linalg.spsolve 函数,它执行与相应的 numpy 函数类似的事情。使用 for 循环遍历所有方程比 numpy 解决方案快得多,但似乎不可能将 (N,n,n) 维数组直接传递给 scipy 的 spsolve。

这是我到目前为止尝试过的方法:

首先,为了测试目的,我用随机数计算了一些虚构的 A 矩阵和 B 向量,稀疏和密集:

import numpy as np
from scipy import sparse
from scipy.sparse.linalg import spsolve

number_of_systems = 100 #corresponds to N in the text
number_of_data_points = 1000 #corresponds to n in the text

#calculation of sample matrices (dense and sparse)
A_sparse = np.empty(number_of_systems,dtype=object)
A_dense = np.empty((number_of_systems,number_of_data_points,number_of_data_points))

for ii in np.arange(number_of_systems):
    A_sparse[ii] = sparse.spdiags(np.random.random(number_of_data_points),0,number_of_data_points,number_of_data_points)
    A_dense[ii] = A_sparse[ii].todense()

#calculation of sample vectors
B = np.random.random((number_of_systems,number_of_data_points))

1) 第一种方法:numpy.linalg.solve with for loop:

def solve_dense_3D(A,B):
    results = np.empty((A.shape[0],A.shape[1]))
    for ii in np.arange(A.shape[0]):
        results[ii] = np.linalg.solve(A[ii],B[ii])
    return results

result_dense_for = solve_dense_3D(A_dense,B)

时间:

timeit(solve_dense_3D(A_dense,B))
1.25 s ± 27.6 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

2)第二种方法:将(N,n,n)维矩阵直接传递给numpy.linalg.solve:

result_dense = np.linalg.solve(A_dense,B)

时间:

timeit(np.linalg.solve(A_dense,B))
769 ms ± 9.68 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

3) 第三种方法:使用 scipy.sparse.linalg.spsolve 和 for 循环:

def solve_sparse_3D(A,B):
    results = np.empty((A.shape[0],A[0].shape[0]))
    for ii in np.arange(A.shape[0]):
        results[ii] = spsolve(A[ii],B[ii])
    return results

result_sparse_for = solve_sparse_3D(A_sparse,B)

时间:

timeit(solve_sparse_3D(A_sparse,B))
30.9 ms ± 132 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

显而易见的是,能够从方法 1 和方法 2 中省略 for 循环是一个优势。正如可能预料的那样,到目前为止最快的替代方法是使用稀疏矩阵的方法 3。

因为这个例子中方程的数量对我来说仍然很少,而且因为我必须经常做这样的事情,如果有使用 scipy 的稀疏矩阵的解决方案,我会很高兴没有 for 循环。有人知道实现这一目标的方法吗?或者也许有另一种方法可以以一种甚至不同的方式解决问题?我很乐意提出建议。

一个小演示,概述了我上面评论中的想法:

""" YOUR CODE (only imports changed + deterministic randomness) """

import numpy as np
from scipy import sparse
from scipy.sparse.linalg import spsolve
from scipy.sparse import block_diag
from time import perf_counter as pc

np.random.seed(0)

number_of_systems = 100 #corresponds to N in the text
number_of_data_points = 1000 #corresponds to n in the text

#calculation of sample matrices (dense and sparse)
A_sparse = np.empty(number_of_systems,dtype=object)
A_dense = np.empty((number_of_systems,number_of_data_points,number_of_data_points))

for ii in np.arange(number_of_systems):
    A_sparse[ii] = sparse.spdiags(np.random.random(number_of_data_points),0,number_of_data_points,number_of_data_points)
    A_dense[ii] = A_sparse[ii].todense()

#calculation of sample vectors
B = np.random.random((number_of_systems,number_of_data_points))

def solve_sparse_3D(A,B):
    results = np.empty((A.shape[0],A[0].shape[0]))
    for ii in np.arange(A.shape[0]):
        results[ii] = spsolve(A[ii],B[ii])
    return results

start = pc()
result_sparse_for = solve_sparse_3D(A_sparse,B)
end = pc()
print(result_sparse_for)
print(end - start)

""" ALTERNATIVE APPROACH """

def solve_sparse_3D_blockdiag(A,B):
    oldN = B.shape[0]

    A_ = block_diag(A)    # huge sparse block-matrix of independent problems
    B_ = B.ravel()        # flattened vector

    results = spsolve(A_, B_)
    return results.reshape(oldN, -1)    # unflatten results

有些事情要做:

  • 使用您原来更理智的基准测试方法
  • 以正确的稀疏格式构建 block_diag 以消除一些潜在的警告和减速:请参阅文档
  • 调整 spsolve 的参数 permc_spec
