Sparse Matrices with Mex-Files (그누 옥타브 (6.1.0판))

The Octave format for sparse matrices is identical to the mex format in that it is a compressed column sparse format. Also, in both implementations sparse matrices are required to be two-dimensional. The only difference of importance to the programmer is that the real and imaginary parts of the matrix are stored separately.

The mex-file interface, in addition to using mxGetM, mxGetN, mxSetM, mxSetN, mxGetPr, mxGetPi, mxSetPr, and mxSetPi, also supplies the following functions.

mwIndex *mxGetIr (const mxArray *ptr);
mwIndex *mxGetJc (const mxArray *ptr);
mwSize mxGetNzmax (const mxArray *ptr);

void mxSetIr (mxArray *ptr, mwIndex *ir);
void mxSetJc (mxArray *ptr, mwIndex *jc);
void mxSetNzmax (mxArray *ptr, mwSize nzmax);

mxGetNzmax gets the maximum number of elements that can be stored in the sparse matrix. This is not necessarily the number of nonzero elements in the sparse matrix. mxGetJc returns an array with one additional value than the number of columns in the sparse matrix. The difference between consecutive values of the array returned by mxGetJc define the number of nonzero elements in each column of the sparse matrix. Therefore,

mwSize nz, n;
mwIndex *Jc;
mxArray *m;
…
n = mxGetN (m);
Jc = mxGetJc (m);
nz = Jc[n];

returns the actual number of nonzero elements stored in the matrix in nz. As the arrays returned by mxGetPr and mxGetPi only contain the nonzero values of the matrix, we also need a pointer to the rows of the nonzero elements, and this is given by mxGetIr. A complete example of the use of sparse matrices in mex-files is given by the file mysparse.c shown below.
