However, an incorrectly chosen opts leads to a wrong result. Would return $x$ if you know $A$ is positive definite in advance. For example: opts.POSDEF = true linsolve(A,b,opts) For large problems, you could save some time.
In linsolve as the help doc suggests in mathworks website, you could avoid the extra testing process (Allan used the word "overhead" in his answer) by using opts if and only if you know what $A$ is like in advance. Mldivide and linsolve for rectangular matrices: QR factorization Linsolve for square matrices: LU factorization with partial pivoting If A is square but is neither permuted triangular, symmetric and positive definite, or Hessenberg, then MATLAB performs a general triangular factorization using LU factorization with partial pivoting If A is upper Hessenberg, MATLAB uses Gaussian elimination to reduce the system to a triangular matrix. If the Cholesky factorization fails, MATLAB performs a symmetric, indefinite factorization. Mldivide for square matrices: If A is symmetric and has real, positive diagonal elements, MATLAB attempts a Cholesky factorization. Also see MATLAB's help on mldivide algorithm here. Please see Allan's answer in this thread for more information. Mldivide does perform the tests for $A$ in solving $Ax = b$. The inv() function will not be useful if your matrix is non-invertible(singular matrix).Both of them are direct solver to solve linear systems (opposing to iterative solver). The pinv() function is useful when your matrix is non-invertible(singular matrix) or Determinant of that Matrix =0. The inv() function returns the inverse of the matrix. The pinv() function in OCTAVE/MATLAB returns the Moore-Penrose pseudo inverse of a matrix using Singular value. It might not always return the non-square inverse of a Matrix. It will always return the inverse of a Matrix. The runtime of pinv() is more than inv(). The inv() function is not able to handle non-square matrices. Below are some key differences between both the functions: Table of Difference Between pinv() and inv() pinv(A) inv(A) The pinv() function is able to handle non-square matrices. However, the difference is that pinv refers to pseudo inverse and inv refers to inverse. But using the same Matrix, the inverse can be calculated using the pinv() function.īoth pinv() and inv() are used to find the inverse of matrices in MATLAB.
So, we can’t use inv() in case if Matrix is singular.
