NAME
mcxmap - permute or remap the indices of graphs and matrices.
SYNOPSIS
mcxmap -imx fname (input) [-o fname (output)] [-make-map (output map file name)] [-make-mapc (output map file name)] [-make-mapr (output map file name)] [-cmul a (coefficient)] [-cshift b (translate)] [-rmul c (coefficient)] [-rshift d (translate)] [-mul e (coefficient)] [-shift f (translate)] [-map fname (row/col map file)] [-rmap fname (row map file)] [-cmap fname (column map file)] [-mapi fname (row/col map file (use inverse))] [-rmapi fname (row map file (use inverse))] [-cmapi fname (column map file (use inverse))] [-tab fname (read (and map) tab file)]
DESCRIPTION
This utility relabels graphs or matrices. Its main use is in applying a map file to a given matrix or graph. A map file contains a so called map matrix in mcl format that has some special properties (given further below). The functionality of mcxmap can also be provided by mcx, as a mapped matrix (i.e. the result of applying a map matrix to another matrix) is simply the usual matrix product of a matrix and a map matrix. However, mcx will construct a new matrix and leave the original matrix to be mapped alone. When dealing with huge matrices, considerable gains in efficiency memory-wise and time-wise can be achieved by doing the mapping in-place. This is what mcxmap does. In the future, its functionality may be embedded in mcx with new mcx operators.
The special properties of a map matrix are
• The
column domain and row domain are of the same cardinality.
• Each column has exactly one entry.
• Each row domain index occurs in exactly one
column.
These properties imply that the matrix can be used as a map from the column domain onto the row domain. An example map matrix is found in the EXAMPLES Section.
OPTIONS
-o fname
(output file)
Output file.
-imx
fname (input file)
Input file.
-map
fname (row/col map file))
-rmap fname (row map file)
-cmap fname (column map file)
-mapi fname (row/col map file (use inverse))
-rmapi fname (row map fil (use inverse))
-cmapi fname (column map fil (use inverse))
Different ways to specify map files.
-make-map
(output map file name)
-make-mapc (output map file name)
-make-mapr (output map file name)
Generate a map that maps the specified domain onto the
appropriate canonical domain and write the map matrix to
file.
-cmul a
(coefficient)
-cshift b (translate)
These options have affect if neither a column map file nor
column canonification is specified. If any of the first two
options is used, column indices i are mapped
to a*i+b.
-rmul c
(coefficient)
-rshift d (translate)
These options have affect if neither a row map file nor row
canonification is specified. If any of the first two options
is used, indices i are mapped
to c*i+d.
-mul e
(coefficient)
-shift f (translate)
If a map file is specified for a given domain, neither a map
file nor canonification is specified. If any of the first
two options is used, the indices i will be
mapped to e*i+f.
-tab
fname (read (and map) tab file)
This option requires the -map option. mcxmap
will output the mapped tab definition.
EXAMPLES
The matrix below has two canonical domains which are identical. It denotes a map of the canonical domain onto itself, in which node 0 is relabeled to 8, node 1 is relabeled to 5, et cetera.
