MA117 Project 3: Determinants of Matrices
Administrative Details
• This project is the third of the three assignments required for the assessment in this course. It is to be
submitted by 12pm, Friday 6th May 2022. Details of the method of the submission via the Tabula
system have been described in the lecture notes and are also available on the course web page.
• This assignment will count for 40% of your total grade in the course.
• The automated submission system requires that you closely follow instructions about the format of
certain files; failure to do so will result in the severe loss of points in this assessment.
• You may work on the assignment during the lab session, provided you have completed the other tasks
that have been set. You can always use the work areas when they are not booked for teaching, 7 days
per week. If you are working on the assignment on your home system, you are advised to make regular
back-up copies (for example by transferring the files to the University systems). You should note that
no allowance will be made for domestic disasters involving your own computer system. You should
make sure well ahead of the deadline that you are able to transfer all necessary files to the University
system and that it works there as well.
• The Tabula system will be open for the submission of this assignment starting from 14th March 2022.
You will not be able to test your code for correctness using Tabula, but you can resubmit your work
several times, until the deadline, if you find a mistake after your submission. A later submission always
replaces the older one, but you must re-submit all files.
• Remember that all work you submit should be your own work. Do not be tempted to copy work; this
assignment is not meant to be a team exercise. There are both human and automated techniques to
detect pieces of the code which have been copied from others. If you are stuck, then ask for assistance
in the lab sessions. TAs will not complete the exercise for you, but they will help if you do not
understand the problem, are confused by an error message, need advice on how to debug the code,
require further explanation of a feature of Java or similar matters.
• If you have more general or administrative problems e-mail me immediately. Always include the course
number (MA117) in the subject of your e-mail.
1 Formulation of the Problem
Matrices are one of the most important mathematical concepts to be modelled by computer, being used in
many problems from solving simple linear systems to modelling complex partial differential equations.
Whilst a matrix (in our formulation) is simply an element of the vector space ℝ!×#, it usually possesses some
structure which we can exploit to gain computational speed. For example, a matrix-matrix multiplication
generally requires of the order of floating-point operations. If the matrix has some special structure which
we can exploit using a clever method, then we might be able to reduce this to operations. For large values
of, this significantly improves the performance of our code.

In this project, you will write two classes representing matrices of the form: Also,
the tri-diagonal matrices you need to represent will always be square.
In a similar fashion to Fraction, you will then write functions to perform various matrix operations:
1. addition and subtraction;
2. scalar and matrix-matrix multiplication;
3. calculating the determinant of the matrix.
Clearly calculating the determinant is the trickiest task here. Probably you will already have seen expansion
by minors as a possible method. Whilst this is an excellent method for calculating determinants by hand, you
should not use it for this task. The reason is that calculating the determinant of a � × � matrix requires �(�!)
operations, since for each � × � matrix, we must calculate the values of the � − 1 sub-determinants. This
is extremely slow.
A much better method is called LU decomposition. In this, we write a matrix � as product of two matrices �
and � which are lower- and upper- triangular respectively. For example, for a 4×4 matrix, we would find
matrices so that
Such a factorisation is not guaranteed to exist (and indeed is not unique), but typically it does. In this project,
you don’t really need to worry about this – your code will be tested with matrices for which the LU
decomposition exists. It is up to you to figure out how to calculate the determinant from the LU
decomposition!
Throughout the formulation, matrices will be represented by indices running between 1 ≤ �,� ≤ �, �.
However, in your code, you should stay consistent with Java notation and indices should start at 0
(i.e. 0 ≤ �,� ≤ � − 1, � − 1).
2 Programming Instructions
On the course web page for the project, you will find files for the following classes. As with the previous
projects, the files have some predefined methods that are either complete or come with predefined names
and parameters. You must keep all names, parameter types and return types of public objects and
methods as they are in the templates. Other methods must be filled in and it is up to you to design them
properly.

There are five classes in this project:
• Matrix: a general class defining the basic properties and operations on matrices.
• MatrixException: a subclass of the RuntimeException class which you should use to throw
matrix-related exceptions. This class is complete – you do not need to alter it.
• GeneralMatrix: a subclass of Matrix which describes a general � × � real matrix.
• TriMatrix: another subclass of Matrix which describes a � × � real tri-diagonal matrix.
• Project3: a separate class which will use Matrix and its subclasses to collect some basic statistics
involving random matrices.
• Please note that unlike other projects, you may not assume that the data you receive will be valid.
Therefore, you will need to check, amongst other things, that matrix multiplications are done using
matrices of valid sizes, the user is not trying to access matrix elements which are out of bounds, etc. If
something goes wrong, you are expected to throw a MatrixException.
The classes you need to work on are briefly described below.
2.1 The Matrix class
This is the base class from which you will build your specialised subclasses. Matrix is abstract – as described
in the lectures, this means that some of the methods are not defined, and they need to be implemented in
the subclasses. The general idea is that each subclass of Matrix can implement its own storage schemes,
whilst still maintaining various common methods inherent in all matrices.
In particular, the following functions are not abstract, and need to be filled in inside Matrix:
• the protected constructor function;
• toString, which should return a String representation of the matrix.
Additionally, the following abstract methods will be implemented by the subclasses of Matrix:
• getIJ and setIJ: accessor and mutator methods to get/set the ��th entry of the matrix.
• add: returns a new Matrix containing the sum of the current matrix with another.
• multiply(double scaler): multiply the matrix by a constant ������ ∈ ℝ.
• multiply(Matrix B): multiply the matrix by another matrix. Note that this is intended to be a
left multiplication; i.e. A.multiply(B) corresponds to the multiplication ��.
• random(): fills current the matrix with random numbers, uniformly distributed between 0 and
1. For a tri-diagonal matrix, this should fill the three diagonals with random numbers.
In subclasses, you should pay attention to what type of matrix needs to be returned from each of the
functions. For example, when adding two GeneralMatrix objects the result should be a
GeneralMatrix (which is then typecast to a Matrix).

2.2 The GeneralMatrix class
GeneralMatrix represents a full � × n matrix and extends Matrix.
1. The matrix will be stored in a private two-dimensional array.
2. You should implement all the functions mentioned above using the standard formulae from linear
algebra to do so, as well as the usual constructors, accessor and mutator methods.
3. You may choose whatever method you want to calculate the determinant of the matrix. However, it is
strongly recommended you use the provided LUdecomp function, which will perform LU
decomposition for you since the algorithm is quite tricky for � × � matrices.
To call LUdecomp, you should pass it a double array sign of length 1. It will return a new
GeneralMatrix storing both � = (�,-) and � = (�,-). For instance, when � = 5, the matrix
returned is
The reason we can store it in this compact form is that the algorithm insists that �,, = 1 for every �, and
so this information can be omitted from the array.
On exit, the double inside the array you passed in will have a value of 1 or −1. You should multiply
the calculated determinant by this value so that it has the correct sign. This constant arises because
the decomposition algorithm will flip rows in the matrix to aid with singular matrices, thus changing
the sign of the determinant.
As a result, if you explicitly perform the multiplication LU, you probably won’t get the original matrix
back again, but rather a permutation of it. For example, consider a matrix J which is a slightly altered
identity matrix.
In the algorithm, one row was swapped, so sign[0] will be −1.
2.3 The TriMatrix class
TriMatrix represents a tri-diagonal matrix of size � × � and extends Matrix. The constructor therefore
only accepts a single parameter, dimension.
1. Tri-diagonal matrices are never stored in full two-dimensional arrays because they are sparse – that is,
most of the entries are zero. Instead, we use three arrays of double: diagonal, upperDiagonal
and lowerDiagonal. These store the diagonal, upper-diagonal and lower-diagonal elements
respectively. In this form, the matrix looks like
MA117 Programming for Scientists: Project 3 Deadline: 12pm, Friday 6th May 2022
diagonal should therefore be of length �, whereas upperDiagonal and lowerDiagonal
should be of length � − 1.
2. For this class, you will need to implement your own LUdecomp method to perform LU decomposition,
which should not be copied from GeneralMatrix, since the algorithm for a tri-diagonal matrix is
very simple to derive.Just like the LUdecomp method above, you can store
the matrix in a compact form inside a TriMatrix.
2.4 The Project3 class
The final part of this project is to generate some simple statistics on random matrices.
You should not store each of the random samples, as this will consume a huge amount of memory for
large values of �01!2.

• main: Your main function should not be a tester in this class. Instead, for 2 ≤ � ≤ 50, it should
create a � × � GeneralMatrix and a TriMatrix, and pass these to matVariance() to
calculate the variance of the distribution for this value of �. For each �, you should generate 20,000
general matrix samples and 200,000 tri-diagonal samples.
Ensure that you test matVariance()intensively before running with large numbers of samples.
Start with a small number of samples at first to ensure you are not encountering infinite loops, etc. My
solution code completes this in just over a minute (on bell), so this should be your aim. You should
print this information out to the terminal. On each line, print out
n varGen varTri
where n is the integer value of �, varGen is the variance found for the GeneralMatrix and
varTri is the variance found for the TriMatrix, both formatted to computerized scientific
notation with 15 digits after the decimal point.

Finally, you should plot two graphs with the data you find: one for the general matrix and one for the tridiagonal.
Along the �-axis plot the matrix size, and along the �-axis, the logarithm of the variance.
To save your output to a file, on bell you can run the command
java Project3 > variance.data
and then transfer this file to your computer – for more information, see the week 12 and 15 lab notes, where
you did something similar. Once you have this on your computer, you can then issue the following commands
in Matlab to produce the plots:
load 'variance.data'
subplot(211)
semilogy(variance(:,1), variance(:,2), 'r')
subplot(212)
semilogy(variance(:,1), variance(:,3), 'b')
orient landscape
saveas(figure(1), 'VarGraph.pdf')
This will create two subplots; the top one containing the general matrix variance, the bottom the tri-diagonal
matrix. Finally, it saves the plots as a PDF file, which can be opened in Adobe Reader or similar viewers. You
should add labels to the plot.
3 A note on efficiency
Your code will not, generally, be tested for efficiency, and will not be tested for very large matrices; at most,
you will be given a 100×100 matrix. However, it perfectly possible to calculate the determinant of such a
matrix in much less than a second using the methods outlined here. Bear in mind that you will need a certain
amount of efficiency in your code to complete the Project3 class.
Whilst it is certainly possible to write all this code on bell, I heartily encourage you to do your initial testing
on your laptop or desktop machine. Not only do they provide a more friendly development environment, but
if you inadvertently run code with an infinite loop, it will not have an impact on other users.

Finally, the Project3 class can be quite time-consuming, but shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes
to run. You should test this on your own machine if possible; if not, then reduce the number of samples
generated at first to get an initial indication of the time it will take to run. Remember that if your code is
taking minutes to calculate determinants of small matrices, something is very wrong!

4 Submission
You should submit, using the Tabula system, the following four files: Matrix.java,
GeneralMatrix.java, TriMatrix.java and Project3.java, as well as a PDF containing both of
your plots called VarGraph.pdf. I will not accept any other format for this plot (Word, Excel, etc). Before
you do that, you should test that all your methods work properly (use the method main you implement in
each class).
There will be many tests performed on your classes. This should allow for some partial credit even if you don’t
manage to finish all tasks by the deadline. Each class will be tested individually so you may want to submit
even a partially finished project. In each case, however, be certain that you submit Java files that compile
without syntax error. Submissions that do not compile will be marked down. As before you can re-submit
solutions as many times as you wish before the deadline; however, ensure that you re-submit all files.
Finally, please ensure that you keep back-up copies of your work. Lost data do not present a valid excuse for
missing the deadline.
