mlx.core.linalg.det#

det(a: array, *, stream: None | Stream | Device = None) → array#

Compute the determinant of a square matrix.

This function supports arrays with at least 2 dimensions. When the input has more than two dimensions, the determinant is computed for each matrix in the last two dimensions.

Parameters:

  • a (array) – Input array.

  • stream (Stream, optional) – Stream or device. Defaults to None in which case the default stream of the default device is used.

Returns:

The determinant(s) of the input matrix (matrices).

Return type:

array

Example

>>> A = mx.array([[1., 2.], [3., 4.]])
>>> mx.linalg.det(A, stream=mx.cpu)
array(-2, dtype=float32)
