# scipy.sparse.bsr_array

class scipy.sparse.bsr_array(arg1, shape=None, dtype=None, copy=False, blocksize=None)

  Block Sparse Row format sparse array.

  This can be instantiated in several ways:
    bsr_array(D, [blocksize=(R,C)])

      where D is a dense matrix or 2-D ndarray.

    bsr_array(S, [blocksize=(R,C)])

      with another sparse array S (equivalent to S.tobsr())

    bsr_array((M, N), [blocksize=(R,C), dtype])

      to construct an empty sparse array with shape (M, N) dtype is optional, defaulting to dtype=’d’.

    bsr_array((data, ij), [blocksize=(R,C), shape=(M, N)])

      where `data` and `ij` satisfy `a[ij[0, k], ij[1, k]] = data[k]`

    bsr_array((data, indices, indptr), [shape=(M, N)])

      is the standard BSR representation where the block column indices for row i are stored in `indices[indptr[i]:indptr[i+1]]` and their corresponding block values are stored in `data[ indptr[i]: indptr[i+1] ]`. If the shape parameter is not supplied, the array dimensions are inferred from the index arrays.

  Notes

  Sparse arrays can be used in arithmetic operations: they support addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and matrix power.

  Summary of BSR format

  The Block Compressed Row (BSR) format is very similar to the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format. BSR is appropriate for sparse matrices with dense sub matrices like the last example below. Block matrices often arise in vector-valued finite element discretizations. In such cases, BSR is considerably more efficient than CSR and CSC for many sparse arithmetic operations.

  Blocksize

  The blocksize (R,C) must evenly divide the shape of the sparse array (M,N). That is, R and C must satisfy the relationship `M % R = 0` and `N % C = 0`.

  If no blocksize is specified, a simple heuristic is applied to determine an appropriate blocksize.

  Canonical Format

  In canonical format, there are no duplicate blocks and indices are sorted per row.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.sparse import bsr_array
      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> bsr_array((3, 4), dtype=np.int8).toarray()
      array([[0, 0, 0, 0],
             [0, 0, 0, 0],
             [0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=int8)

      >>> row = np.array([0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2])
      >>> col = np.array([0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2])
      >>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3 ,4, 5, 6])
      >>> bsr_array((data, (row, col)), shape=(3, 3)).toarray()
      array([[1, 0, 2],
             [0, 0, 3],
             [4, 5, 6]])

      >>> indptr = np.array([0, 2, 3, 6])
      >>> indices = np.array([0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2])
      >>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]).repeat(4).reshape(6, 2, 2)
      >>> bsr_array((data,indices,indptr), shape=(6, 6)).toarray()
      array([[1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 2],
             [1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 2],
             [0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 3],
