function
scipy.sparse.linalg._matfuncs:inv
source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/sparse/linalg/_matfuncs.py:31
Signature
def inv(A)Summary
Compute the inverse of a sparse arrays.
Parameters
A: (M, M) sparse arrayssquare matrix to be inverted
Returns
Ainv: (M, M) sparse arraysinverse of
A
Notes
This computes the sparse inverse of A. If the inverse of A is expected to be non-sparse, it will likely be faster to convert A to dense and use scipy.linalg.inv.
Examples
from scipy.sparse import csc_array from scipy.sparse.linalg import inv A = csc_array([[1., 0.], [1., 2.]]) Ainv = inv(A)✓
Ainv A.dot(Ainv) A.dot(Ainv).toarray()✗
array([[1., 0.],
[0., 1.]])
