Description
TomSym is complete modeling environment in Matlab with support for most built-in mathematical operators in Matlab. It is a combined modeling, compilation and interface to the TOMLAB solvers. The matrix derivative of a matrix function is a fourth rank tensor - that is, a matrix each of whose entries is a matrix. Rather than using four-dimensional matrices to represent this, TomSym continues to work in two dimensions. This makes it possible to take advantage of the very efficient handling of sparse matrices in Matlab, which is not available for higher-dimensional matrices.
TomSym has a variety of functions, among them:
- Ability to transform expressions and generate analytical first and second order derivatives, including sparsity patterns.
- Interfaced and compatible with MAD, i.e. MAD can be used when symbolic modeling is not suitable.
- Numerical differentiation can be used to parts of the model.
- Functionality for plotting and computing a variety of information for the solution to the problem.
- Support for if, then, else statements.
- Ability to analyze p-coded Matlab files.
- Automated code simplification for generated models, for example.
- Multiplication by 1 or the identity matrix is eliminated: 1*A = A
- Addition/subtraction of 0 is eliminated: 0+A = A
- All-same matrices are reduced to scalars: +x = 3+x
- Scalars are moved to the left in addition/subtraction: A-y = -y+A
- Inverse operations cancel: sqrt(x)^2 = x

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
