scipy.sparse.bsr_array

class scipy.sparse.bsr_array(arg1, shape=None, dtype=None, copy=False, blocksize=None)

Block Sparse Row format sparse array.

This can be instantiated in several ways:

bsr_array(D, [blocksize=(R,C)])

where D is a 2-D ndarray.

bsr_array(S, [blocksize=(R,C)])

with another sparse array or matrix S (equivalent to S.tobsr())

bsr_array((M, N), [blocksize=(R,C), dtype])

to construct an empty sparse array with shape (M, N) dtype is optional, defaulting to dtype=’d’.

bsr_array((data, ij), [blocksize=(R,C), shape=(M, N)])

where data and ij satisfy a[ij[0, k], ij[1, k]] = data[k]

bsr_array((data, indices, indptr), [shape=(M, N)])

is the standard BSR representation where the block column indices for row i are stored in indices[indptr[i]:indptr[i+1]] and their corresponding block values are stored in data[ indptr[i]: indptr[i+1] ]. If the shape parameter is not supplied, the array dimensions are inferred from the index arrays.

Notes

Sparse arrays can be used in arithmetic operations: they support addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and matrix power.

Summary of BSR format

The Block Sparse Row (BSR) format is very similar to the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format. BSR is appropriate for sparse matrices with dense sub matrices like the last example below. Such sparse block matrices often arise in vector-valued finite element discretizations. In such cases, BSR is considerably more efficient than CSR and CSC for many sparse arithmetic operations.

Blocksize

The blocksize (R,C) must evenly divide the shape of the sparse array (M,N). That is, R and C must satisfy the relationship M % R = 0 and N % C = 0.

If no blocksize is specified, a simple heuristic is applied to determine an appropriate blocksize.

Canonical Format

In canonical format, there are no duplicate blocks and indices are sorted per row.
