Matrix Computation

Introduction

 

Maple has many tools for linear algebra. Its capabilities include

 

• 

symbolic and numeric computations, and hybrid matrices

• 

eigenvalues and eigenvectors, both classical and generalized.

• 

linear algebra over finite fields.

• 

matrix factorizations and system solvers

• 

numerical methods for dense and sparse systems with a high degree of user control

• 

hardware float and arbitrary precision software float data

• 

numeric routines from CLAPACK and optimized vendor BLAS (ATLAS and MKL) libraries, called automatically when appropriate.

• 

automatically parallelized numeric computation, when appropriate

 

Symbolic Matrix Computation

 

Here, we derive the Denavit-Hartenberg matrix for a robotic serial manipulator. These matrices were entered using the Matrix palette (other methods are described here) and a period is used for matrix multiplication.

Maple will handle arbitrarily large symbolic matrices.

 

Numeric Matrix Computation

 

Here we solve the linear system M.x = v for a sparse system. Numerical data is randomly generated

 

To test the accuracy of the numeric solution, the following quantity must be zero or a very small number
