Usage Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage

import torch

from zeta.ops import RootInvMethod, matrix_inverse_root

# Example symmetric positive definite matrix
A = torch.tensor([[4.0, 0.0], [0.0, 9.0]])

# Computing the square root inverse.
X = matrix_inverse_root(A, root=2)
print(X)

Example 2: Diagonal Matrix with Epsilon

import torch

from zeta.ops import matrix_inverse_root

# Diagonal matrix definition.
A = torch.diag(torch.tensor([4.0, 9.0]))
epsilon = 1e-5

# Using epsilon to ensure numeric stability.
X = matrix_inverse_root(A, root=2, epsilon=epsilon, is_diagonal=True)
print(X)

Example 3: Newton's Iteration Method

import torch

from zeta.ops import RootInvMethod, matrix_inverse_root

# Symmetric positive definite matrix.
A = torch.tensor([[10.0, 4.0], [4.0, 6.0]])

# Using Newton's iteration with a custom tolerance and max iterations.
X = matrix_inverse_root(
    A, root=2, root_inv_method=RootInvMethod.NEWTON, tolerance=1e-8, max_iterations=5000
)
print(X)
