Reverse Engineering a Matrix Expansion in MATLAB: A Step-by-Step Guide

When working with matrices in MATLAB, it’s common to expand a matrix B by a certain factor z to create a new matrix H. But what if you want to reverse this process and reclaim the original matrix B from the expanded matrix H? In this guide, we will guide you through every step needed to achieve this reverse matrix expansion.

Understanding the Problem

You have a matrix B that you transformed into an expanded matrix H using the following rules:

Each coefficient of -1 in matrix B is replaced by a null matrix of dimension z*z.

Each coefficient of 0 is replaced by an identity matrix of dimension z*z.

Each coefficient ranging from 1 to z-1 is replaced by a circulating permutation matrix of size z*z, shifted to the right by the coefficient's value.

Given the example:

The task is to determine the original matrix B from the expanded matrix H.

The Solution Explained

To reverse engineer the process, we need to determine the mapping of each block in the H matrix back to its original matrix B. Here’s how to go about it:

Step 1: Identify Non-Zero Elements

Initially, we can focus on the first row of each block in H. Based on the rules, we need to track where the non-zero elements are:

A 1 in the first row indicates the position in B.

A 0 in the first row gives us a null or identity matrix perspective.

A missing 1 translates to a -1 in B.

Step 2: Use MATLAB Functions for Efficiency

The MATLAB function find is crucial here, but it doesn't return 0 when no non-zero values are found. To improve this, we can create a function that adds an artificial value to the row, which only activates if all other values are 0.

Step 3: Loop Through the Blocks

By looping through the blocks of the H matrix, we apply the logic above to convert each block back to its corresponding value in matrix B.

Conclusion

Reversing the matrix expansion is a systematic approach that requires understanding how matrices interact under certain operations. This guide provides a fundamental understanding and a clear coding pathway in MATLAB to help you reclaim your original matrix B from the expanded matrix H. With this knowledge, you can now manipulate matrices in a more informed manner and tackle similar problems with confidence!
