Graded-Index Integrated Modulators
Published in Le Nguyen Binh, Optical Modulation, 2017
There are a few major features of the matrix equation above: (i) this type of matrix is often referred to as tridiagonal matrix with fringes. The order of the matrix is N × N, the square of the total number of grid points. Most of terms in the matrix are zeros; (ii) the matrix is non-symmetrical relative to the diagonal term; (iii) the central three diagonal terms always exist and are always non-zero; (iv) the coefficients p, l, r, t, and b make up the five bands of the matrix, with p being the main diagonal, l and r being the sub-diagonal while t and b the super-diagonal; (v) the sub-diagonal diagonal terms are just one term away from the main diagonal while the upper-diagonal terms are NX terms away from the main diagonal. The distance between main diagonal and the last non-zero super-diagonal band is commonly referred to as the half bandwidth of a band matrix; and (vi) terms such as l1, rN, t1−tNX, bN−Nx − bN are missing. This is so since the evaluations of these terms require the E values outside the boundary area, and these values have been assumed zero. Therefore, they need not be represented.

We now define two band matrices Q and R that will be used in the algorithm for smoothing splines. A band matrix is one whose nonzero entries are contained in a band along the main diagonal. The matrix entries outside this band are zero. First, we let hi = ti+1-ti for i = 1, n - 1. Then Q is the matrix with nonzero entries qij, given by qj-1,j=1hj-1qjj=-1hj-1-1hjqj+1,j=1hj, $$ q_{{j - 1,j}} = \frac{1}{{h_{{j - 1}} }}~q_{{jj}} = - \frac{1}{{h_{{j - 1}} }} - \frac{1}{{h_{j} }}~q_{{j + 1,j}} = \frac{1}{{h_{j} }} , $$

The distance between the main diagonal and the last nonzero superdiagonal band is commonly referred to as the half-bandwidth of a band matrix. (6) Terms such as l1, rN, t1 – tNX, and bN–Nx – bN are missing. This is so because the evaluations of these terms require the E-values outside the boundary area, and these values have been assumed to be zero. Therefore, they need not be represented.

A band matrix is a sparse matrix whose non-zero entries are confined to a diagonal band, comprising the main diagonal and zero or more diagonals on either side. Let, be a symmetric band matrix of bandwidth p then the matrix A can be expressed as where { : } is a basis of . It can be mentioned that the matrix A has only non-zero distinct variables. It is to be noted that dimension of is .
