There are several linear algebra libraries available for Rust, some of which are designed for general-purpose linear algebra and others that are specialized for computer graphics.
One popular general-purpose linear algebra library for Rust is the nalgebra library, which provides types and functions for working with vectors, matrices, and transformations in various mathematical spaces (such as Euclidean space, projective space, etc.). nalgebra is designed to be fast, flexible, and easy to use, and it has extensive documentation and a friendly community.
Another popular linear algebra library for Rust is the cgmath library, which is specifically designed for computer graphics and provides types and functions for working with 3D and 2D graphics transformations, as well as support for SIMD acceleration on supported platforms. cgmath is heavily optimized for performance and is widely used in the Rust game development community.
Both nalgebra and cgmath are open source and available on crates.io, the Rust package registry. You can use either of these libraries in your Rust projects by adding a dependency to your Cargo.toml file and importing the types and functions you need.
extern crate nalgebra;
use nalgebra::{Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4, Vector2, Vector3, Vector4};
fn main() {
// Matrix multiplication for 2x2 matrices
let m1 = Matrix2::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);
let m2 = Matrix2::new(5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0);
let result = m1 * m2;
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
// Matrix multiplication for 3x3 matrices
let m1 = Matrix3::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0);
let m2 = Matrix3::new(10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0);
let result = m1 * m2;
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
// Matrix multiplication for 4x4 matrices
let m1 = Matrix4::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0);
let m2 = Matrix4::new(17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0, 21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0, 29.0, 30.0, 31.0, 32.0);
let result = m1 * m2;
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
// Matrix-vector multiplication for 2D vectors
let m = Matrix2::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);
let v = Vector2::new(5.0, 6.0);
let result = m * v;
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
// Matrix-vector multiplication for 3D vectors
let m = Matrix3::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0);
let v = Vector3::new(10.0, 11.0, 12.0);
let result = m * v;
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
// Matrix-vector multiplication for 4D vectors
let m = Matrix4::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0);
let v = Vector4::new(17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0);
let result = m * v;
println!("Result: \n{}", result);Here is an example of matrix multiplication for a square matrix of size n using the nalgebra library in Rust:
extern crate nalgebra;
use nalgebra::Dynamic;
use nalgebra::Matrix;
fn main() {
// Define the size of the matrices
let n = 5;
// Create two matrices with random values
let mut m1 = Matrix::<f64, Dynamic, Dynamic>::new_random(n, n);
let mut m2 = Matrix::<f64, Dynamic, Dynamic>::new_random(n, n);
// Perform matrix multiplication
let result = m1.clone() * m2.clone();
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
}This code creates two matrices of size n x n with random values and multiplies them together to produce a new matrix. The size of the matrices can be changed by modifying the value of n.
To perform matrix multiplication with sparse matrices, you can use the SparseMatrix type from the nalgebra library. Here is an example of matrix multiplication for a sparse square matrix of size n:
extern crate nalgebra;
use nalgebra::Dynamic;
use nalgebra::SparseMatrix;
fn main() {
// Define the size of the matrices
let n = 5;
// Create two matrices with random values
let mut m1 = SparseMatrix::<f64, Dynamic, Dynamic>::new_random(n, n, 0.5);
let mut m2 = SparseMatrix::<f64, Dynamic, Dynamic>::new_random(n, n, 0.5);
// Perform matrix multiplication
let result = m1.clone() * m2.clone();
println!("Result: \n{}", result);
}
This code creates two sparse matrices of size n x n with random values and multiplies them together to produce a new matrix. The 0.5 parameter passed to new_random indicates that approximately 50% of the elements in the matrix should be non-zero. The size of the matrices can be changed by modifying the value of n.
Note that matrix multiplication with sparse matrices can be slower than with dense matrices, because the operation has to take into account only the non-zero elements of the matrices. However, sparse matrices can be more memory-efficient when dealing with large matrices with a lot of zero elements.
