Eigen不同的方法来求矩阵的逆的效率_eigen 逆矩阵

背景

不同尺寸的矩阵，求逆使用不同的方法，会有不同的效率的.

16x16矩阵的直接求逆与PartialPivLU的效率对比(本人亲测）

1 实现代码

GetSystemTimeInMacroSecond的实现

    boost::posix_time::ptime now = boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::universal_time() + boost::posix_time::hours(8);
    long long cur_time = now.time_of_day().total_microseconds();
    return cur_time;

4x4矩阵的求逆测试讨论

矩阵的逆的问题，一般类似求解：Ax=b----------------->x = A^-1b

这里给出stackoverflow的一个关于这个求解的的效率的讨论：

1 测试的方法以及种类

I am using Eigen on a C++ program for solving linear equation for very small square matrix(4X4).
My test code is like

template<template <typename MatrixType> typename EigenSolver>
Vertor3d solve(){
   //Solve Ax = b and A is a real symmetric matrix and positive semidefinite

   ... // Construct 4X4 square matrix A and 4X1 vector b

   EigenSolver<Matrix4d> solver(A);
   auto x = solver.solve(b);

   ... // Compute relative error for validating
}

I test some EigenSolver which include:（测试的方法种类）

1. FullPixLU
2. PartialPivLU
3. HouseholderQR
4. ColPivHouseholderQR
5. ColPivHouseholderQR
6. CompleteOrthogonalDecomposition
7. LDLT
8. Direct Inverse

Direct Inverse is:(直接求逆是调用Eigen的接口Inverse来计算逆矩阵，然后乘上去）

template<typename MatrixType>
struct InverseSolve
{
private:
    MatrixType  inv;
public:
    InverseSolve(const MatrixType &matrix) :inv(matrix.inverse()) {
    }
    template<typename VectorType>
    auto solve(const VectorType & b) {
        return inv * b;
    }
};

2 测试的数据

all use 1000000 matrices with random double from uniform distribution [0,100].I fristly construct upper-triangle and then copy to lower-triangle.

3 测试的结果：直接求逆最快，但是精度稍微差一点

I found that the fast method is DirectInverse,Even If I linked Eigen with MKL , the result was not change.

This is the test result：
FullPixLU : 477 ms
PartialPivLU : 468 ms
HouseholderQR : 849 ms
ColPivHouseholderQR : 766 ms
ColPivHouseholderQR : 857 ms
CompleteOrthogonalDecomposition : 832 ms
LDLT : 477 ms
Direct Inverse : 88 ms

The only problem of Direct Inverse is that its relative error slightly larger than other solver but acceptble.
Is there any faster or more felegant solution for my program?Is DirectI nverse the fast solution for my program?
Direct Inverse does not use the symmetric infomation so why is Direct Inverse far faster than LDLT?

For fixed sized matrices up to 4x4, inverse() is computed directly using co-factors, 
which is very fast and requires only on division, but is expected to be slightly less accurate, in general.
The solve as you implemented it, will only require a very fast Matrix-Vector product.
You can increase the accuracy by doing a refinement-step: x=inv*b; x+=inv*(b-A*x);. 
MKL will generally not help for small fixed-sized inputs

回答一： 微小矩阵直接求逆比用求解法更快

Despite what many people suggest of never explicitly computing an inverse when you only want to solve a linear system, for very small matrices this can actually be beneficial, since there are closed-form solutions using co-factors.

All other alternatives you tested will be slower, since they will do pivoting (which implies branching), even for small fixed-sized matrices. Also, most of them will result in more divisions and be not vectorizable as good, as the direct computation.

To increase the accuracy (this technique can actually be used independent of the solver if required), you can refine an initial solution by solving the system again with the residual:

Eigen::Vector4d solveDirect(const Eigen::Matrix4d& A, const Eigen::Vector4d& b)
{
    Eigen::Matrix4d inv = A.inverse();
    Eigen::Vector4d x = inv * b;
    x += inv*(b-A*x);
    return x;
}

超大矩阵的求逆

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39190245/eigen-get-inverse-failed-and-inverse-is-so-slow

Full-pivoting LU is known to be very slow, regardless of its implementation.

Better use PartialPivLU, which benefits from high performance matrix-matrix operations. Then to get the best of Eigen, use the 3.3-beta2 release and compile with both FMA (-mfma) and OpenMP (e.g., -fopenmp) supports, and don’t forget to enable compiler optimizations -O3. This operation should not take more than a few seconds.

Finally, do you really need to explicitly compute the inverse? If you only apply it to some vectors or matrices (i.e., A^-1 * B or B * A^-1) then better apply the inverse in factorized form rather than explicitly computing it. With Eigen 3.3:

MatrixXd A = ...;
PartialPivLU<MatrixXd> lu(A);
x = lu.inverse() * b; // solve Ax=b, same as x = lu.solve(b);
x = b * lu.inverse(); // solve xA=b

n these expressions, the inverse is not explicitly computed!
