PyTorch torch.vander Function


Pytorch torch 参考手册Pytorch torch Reference Manual

torch.vanderIt is a function in PyTorch used to generate a Vandermonde matrix. A Vandermonde matrix is a special matrix where each row consists of the powers of the input vector.

Function Definition

torch.vander(x, N=None, increasing=False)

Parameters:

  • x(Tensor): Input one-dimensional tensor.
  • N(int, optional): The number of columns in the output matrix. Defaults to len(x).
  • increasing(bool, optional): If True, the powers of the columns increase; otherwise they decrease. Defaults to False.

Return Value:

  • torch.Tensor: Returns the Vandermonde matrix.

Usage Examples

Example

import torch

# Create input vector
x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])

# Generate Vandermonde matrix
V = torch.vander(x)

print("Input vector x:", x)
print("nVandermonde matrix:")
print(V)

The output result is:

输入向量 x: tensor([1, 2, 3])
Vandermonde 矩阵:
tensor([[1, 1, 1],
        [4, 2, 1],
        [9, 3, 1]])


Example - Increasing Powers

import torch

x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])

# Generate the Vandermonde matrix with increasing powers
V_inc = torch.vander(x, increasing=True)

print("Increasing Vandermonde matrix:")
print(V_inc)

Example - Specifying the Number of Columns

import torch

x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3, 4])

# Generate a Vandermonde matrix with 5 columns
V = torch.vander(x, N=5)

print("Input vector x:", x)
print("nVandermonde matrix (5 columns):")
print(V)
