# GraphMatFun.jl

GraphMatFun.jl is a Julia package for working with computational graphs representing functions of matrices.

## Installation

The package is registered with the Julia central registry and can be installed with the command

julia> ]
(v1.7) pkg> add GraphMatFun

When installed, the package can be loaded into the current session by writing

julia> using GraphMatFun

## Building a first graph

Consider the following polynomial,

$$$p(x) = (1+2x+x^2)^2.$$$

A graph representing $p(x)$ can be manually constructed by defining the operations.

julia> graph = Compgraph(Float64);
julia> add_output!(graph,:P);

The graph can be evaluated in both scalars, vectors, and matrices. For vectors the evaluation is elementwise.

julia> x = [1, 2, 3.5];
julia> eval_graph(graph, x)
3-element Vector{Float64}:
16.0
81.0
410.0625
julia> (1 .+ 2*x + x.^2).^2
3-element Vector{Float64}:
16.0
81.0
410.0625
julia> A = [1 3; 7 2.0];
julia> eval_graph(graph, A)
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
1150.0   825.0
1925.0  1425.0
julia> (I + 2*A + A^2)^2
2×2 Matrix{Float64}:
1150.0   825.0
1925.0  1425.0

Since the graph is a polynomial the coefficients can be directly extracted.

julia> get_polynomial_coefficients(graph)
5-element Vector{Float64}:
1.0
4.0
6.0
4.0
