NamedLinop
torchlinops.linops.NamedLinop
Bases: Module
Base class for all named linear operators.
A NamedLinop represents a linear map \(A : X \to Y\) where the input and
output tensor dimensions are identified by name (e.g. ("Nx", "Ny") -> ("Kx", "Ky")).
Subclass this to implement concrete operators. At minimum, override fn
and adj_fn as static methods.

H
property
Adjoint operator \(A^H\).
Creates a new adjoint on each access. Set
torchlinops.config.cache_adjoint_normal = False to disable caching.
N
property
Normal operator \(A^H A\).
Note that the naive normal operator can always be created via A.H @ A.
This function is reserved for custom behavior, as many linops have
optimized normal forms.
Creates a new normal on each access. Set
torchlinops.config.cache_adjoint_normal = False to disable caching.

fn
staticmethod
Compute the forward operation \(y = A(x)\).
Override this in subclasses to define the linop's forward behavior.

adjoint
Create the adjoint operator \(A^H\).

special adjoint construction (e.g. conjugating weights).

normal
Create the normal operator \(A^H A\), optionally with an inner operator.
When inner is None (or Identity with the reduce-identity config
enabled), creates a linop whose forward pass calls normal_fn.
When inner is provided, constructs the composition \(A^H \cdot \text{inner} \cdot A\), which is used for Toeplitz embedding and similar optimizations.
| PARAMETER | DESCRIPTION |
