\chapter{Arrays}\label{arrays}

An array can be regarded as a collection of values, all of the same
type. Modelica arrays can be multidimensional and are ``rectangular'',
which in the case of matrices has the consequence that all rows in a
matrix have equal length, and all columns have equal length.

Each array has a certain dimensionality, i.e., number of dimensions. The
degenerate case of a scalar variable is not really an array, but can be
regarded as an array with zero dimensions. Vectors have one dimension,
matrices have two dimensions, etc.


So-called row vectors and column vectors do not exist in Modelica and cannot be distinguished since vectors have only one
dimension.  If distinguishing these is desired, row matrices and column matrices are available, being the corresponding
two-dimensional entities.  However, in practice this is seldom needed since the usual matrix arithmetic and linear algebra
operations have been defined to give the expected behavior when operating on Modelica vectors and matrices.

Modelica is a strongly typed language, which also applies to array
types. The number of dimensions of an array is fixed and cannot be
changed at run-time. However, the sizes of array dimensions can
be computed at run-time.

The fixed number of array dimensions permits strong type checking and efficient implementation.  The non-fixed sizes of array
dimensions on the other hand, allow fairly generic array manipulation code to be written as well as interfacing to standard
numeric libraries implemented in other programming languages.

An array is allocated by declaring an array variable or calling an array
constructor. Elements of an array can be indexed by \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!, or
\lstinline!enumeration! values.

\section{Array Declarations}\label{array-declarations}

The Modelica type system includes scalar number, vector, matrix (number
of dimensions, ndim=2), and arrays of more than two dimensions.

\begin{nonnormative}
There is no distinction between a row and column vector.
\end{nonnormative}

The following table shows the two possible forms of declarations and defines the terminology.
% Is the use of "class" here meant to exclude types defined as array aliases (see comment in table below)?
\lstinline!C! is a placeholder for any class, including the built-in type classes \lstinline!Real!, \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!, \lstinline!String!, and enumeration types.
The type of a dimension upper bound expression, e.g.\ $n$, $m$, $p$, \ldots in the table below, need to be a subtype of \lstinline!Integer! or \lstinline!EB! for a class \lstinline!EB! that is an enumeration type or subtype of the \lstinline!Boolean! type.

Colon (\lstinline!:!) indicates that the dimension upper bound is unknown and is a subtype of \lstinline!Integer!.  The size of such a variable can be determined from its binding equation, or the
size of any of its array attributes, see also \cref{flexible-array-sizes-and-resizing-of-arrays-in-functions}.  The size cannot be determined from other equations or algorithm.

Upper and lower array dimension index bounds are described in \cref{array-dimension-lower-and-upper-index-bounds}.

An array indexed by \lstinline!Boolean! or enumeration type can only be used in the following ways:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  Subscripted using expressions of the appropriate type (i.e.\ \lstinline!Boolean! or the enumerated type).
\item
  Binding equations of the form \lstinline!x1 = x2! as well as declaration assignments of the form \lstinline!x1 := x2! are allowed for arrays independent of
  whether the index types of dimensions are subtypes of \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!, or enumeration types.
\end{itemize}

% henrikt-ma: The following paragraph was only modified slightly when migrated from the old glossary to the index, and seems to be in need of more attention:
A component declared with array dimensions, or where the element type is an array type, is called an \firstuse{array variable}\index{array variable}.
It is a component whose components are \willintroduce{array elements} (see below).
For an array variable, the ordering of its components matters:
The $k$:th element in the sequence of components of an array variable \lstinline!x! is the array element with index \lstinline!k!, denoted \lstinline!x[k]!.
% henrikt-ma: The following statement seems like an over-simplification; for Flat Modelica, we've spent some time trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that Modelica arrays are not homogenous in general...
All elements of an array have the same type.
An array element may again be an array, i.e., arrays can be nested.
An array element is hence referenced using $n$ indices in general, where $n$ is the number of dimensions of the array.

% henrikt-ma: The following paragraph was only modified slightly when migrated from the old glossary to the index, and seems to be in need of more attention:
A component contained in an array variable is called an \firstuse{array element}\index{array element}.
An array element has no identifier.
Instead they are referenced by array access expressions called indices that use enumeration values or positive integer index values.

\begin{example}
The number of dimensions and the dimensions sizes are part of
the type, and shall be checked for example at redeclarations.
Declaration form 1 displays clearly the type of an array, whereas
declaration form 2 is the traditional way of array declarations in
languages such as Fortran, C, C++.

\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real[:] v1, v2 // vectors v1 and v2 have unknown sizes. The actual sizes may be different.
\end{lstlisting}
It is possible to mix the two declaration forms although it might be confusing.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real[3, 2] x[4, 5]; // x has type Real[4, 5, 3, 2];
\end{lstlisting}
The reason for this order is given by examples such as:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
type R3 = Real[3];
R3 a;
R3 b[1] = {a};
Real[3] c[1] = b;
\end{lstlisting}
Using a type for \lstinline!a! and \lstinline!b! in this way is normal, and substituting a type by its definition allows \lstinline!c!.

A vector \lstinline!y! indexed by enumeration values
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
type TwoEnums = enumeration(one,two);
Real[TwoEnums] y;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

Zero-valued dimensions are allowed, so: \lstinline!C x[0];! declares an empty vector, and: \lstinline!C x[0, 3];! an empty matrix.  Some examples of array dimensions of size one are given in \cref{tab:size-1-dimensions}.

\begin{table}[H]
\caption{Special cases of declaration of arrays as 1-vectors, row-vectors, or column-vectors of arrays.}\label{tab:size-1-dimensions}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l l c l l}

\hline
\lstinline!C[1] x;!      & \lstinline!C x[1];!      & $1$ & Vector & 1-vector, representing a scalar\\

\lstinline!C[1, $n$] x;! & \lstinline!C x[1, $n$];! & $2$ & Matrix & $(1 \times n)$-matrix, representing a row\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

The type of an array of array is the multidimensional array which is constructed by taking the first dimensions from the component declaration and subsequent dimensions
from the maximally expanded component type.  A type is maximally expanded, if it is either one of the built-in types (\lstinline!Real!, \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!,
\lstinline!String!, enumeration type) or it is not a type class.  Before operator overloading is applied, a type class of a variable is maximally expanded.

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
type Voltage = Real(unit = "V");
type Current = Real(unit = "A");
connector Pin
  Voltage v; // type class of v = Voltage, type of v = Real
  flow Current i; // type class of i = Current, type of i = Real
end Pin;
type MultiPin = Pin[5];
MultiPin[4] p; // type class of p is MultiPin, type of p is Pin[4, 5];
type Point = Real[3];
Point p1[10];
Real p2[10, 3];
\end{lstlisting}
The components \lstinline!p1! and \lstinline!p2! have identical types.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
p2[5] = p1[2] + p2[4]; // equivalent to p2[5, :] = p1[2, :] + p2[4, :]
Real r[3] = p1[2]; // equivalent to r[3] = p1[2, :]
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\begin{nonnormative}
Automatic assertions at simulation time:

Let \lstinline!A! be a declared array and \lstinline!i! be the declared maximum dimension size of the \lstinline!di!-dimension, then an assert statement \lstinline!assert(i >= 0, $\ldots$)! is generated provided this assertion cannot be checked at compile time.  It is a quality of implementation issue to generate a good error message if the assertion fails.

Let \lstinline!A! be a declared array and \lstinline!i! be an index accessing an index of the \lstinline!di!-dimension.  Then for every such index-access an assert
statement \lstinline!assert(1 <= i and i <= size(A, di), $\ldots$)! is generated, provided this assertion cannot be checked at compile time.

For efficiency reasons, these implicit assert statements may be optionally suppressed.
\end{nonnormative}

\subsection{Array Dimension Lower and Upper Index Bounds}\label{array-dimension-lower-and-upper-index-bounds}

The lower and upper index bounds for a dimension of an array indexed by \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!, or \lstinline!enumeration! values are as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  An array dimension indexed by \lstinline!Integer! values has a lower bound of 1 and an upper bound being the size of the dimension.
\item
  An array dimension indexed by \lstinline!Boolean! values has the lower bound \lstinline!false! and the upper bound \lstinline!true!.
\item
  An array dimension indexed by \lstinline!enumeration! values of the type \lstinline!E = enumeration(e1, e2, $\ldots$, en)!
  has the lower bound \lstinline!E.e1! and the upper bound \lstinline!E.en!.
\end{itemize}

\section{Flexible Array Sizes}\label{flexible-array-sizes}

Regarding flexible array sizes and resizing of arrays in functions, see
\cref{flexible-array-sizes-and-resizing-of-arrays-in-functions}.

\section{Built-in Array Functions}\label{built-in-array-functions}

Modelica provides a number of built-in functions that are applicable to arrays.

The \lstinline!promote! function listed below is utilized to define other array operators and functions.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l|l l}
\hline
\tablehead{Expression} & \tablehead{Description} & \tablehead{Details}\\
\hline
\hline
\lstinline!promote($A$, $n$)! & Append dimensions of size 1 (not Modelica) & \Cref{not-modelica-promote} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\begin{operatordefinition*}[promote]\label{not-modelica-promote}\indexinline{promote}
\begin{synopsis}\begin{lstlisting}
promote($A$, $n$) /* Not available in Modelica. */
\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
Fills dimensions of size 1 from the right to array $A$ upto dimension $n$, where $n \geq$ \lstinline!ndims($A$)! is required.

Let \lstinline!C = promote(A, $n$)!, with $n_{\mathrm{A}}$ = \lstinline!ndims(A)!, then \lstinline!ndims(C) = $n$!, \lstinline!size(C, $j$) = size(A, $j$)! for $1 \leq j \leq n_{\mathrm{A}}$, \lstinline!size(C, $j$)! = $1$ for $n_{\mathrm{A}} + 1 \leq j \leq n$, \lstinline!C[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{n_{\mathrm{A}}}$, 1, $\ldots$, 1]! = \lstinline!A[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{n_{\mathrm{A}}}$]!

The argument $n$ must be a constant that can be evaluated during translation, as it determines the number of dimensions of the returned array.
\begin{nonnormative}
An $n$ that is not a constant that can be evaluated during translation for \lstinline!promote! complicates matrix handling as it can change matrix-equations in subtle ways (e.g.\ changing inner products to matrix multiplication).
\end{nonnormative}
\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition*}

\begin{nonnormative}
Some examples of using the functions defined in the following
\cref{array-dimension-and-size-functions} to \cref{matrix-and-vector-algebra-functions}:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real x[4, 1, 6];
size(x, 1) = 4;
size(x); // vector with elements 4, 1, 6
size(2 * x + x) = size(x);
Real[3] v1 = fill(1.0, 3);
Real[3, 1] m = matrix(v1);
Real[3] v2 = vector(m);
Boolean check[3, 4] = fill(true, 3, 4);

\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
Returns the size of dimension $i$ of array expression $A$ where $0 \leq i \leq$ \lstinline!ndims($A$)!.

If $A$ refers to a component of an expandable connector, then the component must be a declared component of the expandable connector, and it must not use colon (\lstinline!:!) to specify the array size of dimension $i$.

\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
Returns a vector of length \lstinline!ndims($A$)! containing the dimension sizes of $A$.

If $A$ refers to a component of an expandable connector, then the component must be a declared component of the expandable connector, and it must not use colon (\lstinline!:!) to specify the size of any array dimension.
\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition*}

\subsection{Dimensionality Conversion Functions}\label{dimensionality-conversion-functions}

The conversion functions listed below convert scalars, vectors, and arrays to scalars, vectors, or matrices by adding or removing 1-sized dimensions.

\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition}

\subsection{Specialized Array Constructor Functions}\label{specialized-array-constructor-functions}

An array constructor function constructs and returns an array computed
from its arguments. Most of the constructor functions listed below
construct an array by filling in values according to a certain pattern,
in several cases just giving all array elements the same value. The
general array constructor with syntax \lstinline!array($\ldots$)! or \lstinline!{$\ldots$}!

Returns the $n_{1} \times n_{2} \times n_{3} \times \ldots$ array with all elements equal to scalar or array expression $s$ ($n_{i} \geq 0$).  The returned array has the same type as $s$.

\end{operatordefinition}

\subsection{Reduction Functions and Operators}\label{reduction-functions-and-operators}

The reduction functions listed below ``reduce'' an array (or several scalars) to one value (normally a scalar, but the \lstinline!sum! reduction function may give an array as result
and also be applied to an operator record).  Note that none of these operators (particularly \lstinline!min! and \lstinline!max!) generate events themselves (but arguments
could generate events).  The restriction on the type of the input in \cref{reduction-expressions} for reduction expressions also applies to the array elements/scalar
inputs for the reduction operator with the same name.

\begin{operatordefinition*}[sum]\label{modelica:sum-of-array}\index{sum@\robustinline{sum}!of array}
\begin{synopsis}\begin{lstlisting}
sum($A$)
\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
Returns the scalar sum of all the elements of array expression \lstinline!A!.  Equivalent to sum reduction (see below, including application to operator records) over all array indices: \lstinline!sum($A$[j, k, $\ldots$] for j, k, $\ldots$)!
\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition*}

\begin{operatordefinition*}[sum]\label{modelica:sum-reduction}\index{sum@\robustinline{sum}!reduction expression}
\begin{synopsis}\begin{lstlisting}
sum($e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$) for $i$ in $u$, $\ldots$, $j$ in $v$)
\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
Also described in \cref{reduction-expressions}.  Returns the sum of the expression \lstinline!$e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$)! evaluated for all combinations of $i$ in $u$, \ldots, $j$ in $v$.

The \lstinline!sum! reduction function (both variants) may be applied to an operator record, provided that the operator record defines \lstinline!'0'! and \lstinline!'+'!.
It is then assumed to form an additive group.

For \lstinline!Integer! indexing this is
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
$e$($u$[1], $\ldots$, $v$[1]) + $e$($u$[2], $\ldots$, $v$[1]) + $\ldots$
 + $e$($u$[end], $\ldots$, $v$[1]) + $\ldots$
 + $e$($u$[end], $\ldots$, $v$[end])
\end{lstlisting}
For non-\lstinline!Integer! indexing this uses all valid indices instead of 1..\lstinline!end!.

The type of \lstinline!sum($e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$) for $i$ in $u$, $\ldots$, $j$ in $v$)! is the same as the type of \lstinline!$e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$)!.
\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition*}

\begin{operatordefinition*}[product]\label{modelica:product-of-array}\index{product@\robustinline{product}!of array}
\begin{synopsis}\begin{lstlisting}
product($A$)
\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
% Dangerous to say "scalar product" when not referring to anything related to inner products.
Returns the scalar product of all the elements of array expression \lstinline!A!.  Equivalent to product reduction (see below) over all array indices: \lstinline!product($A$[j, k, $\ldots$] for j, k, $\ldots$)!
\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition*}

\begin{operatordefinition*}[product]\label{modelica:product-reduction}\index{product@\robustinline{product}!reduction expression}
\begin{synopsis}\begin{lstlisting}
product($e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$) for $i$ in $u$, $\ldots$, $j$ in $v$)
\end{lstlisting}\end{synopsis}
\begin{semantics}
Also described in \cref{reduction-expressions}.  Returns the product of the expression \lstinline!$e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$)! evaluated for all combinations of $i$ in $u$, \ldots, $j$ in $v$.

For \lstinline!Integer! indexing this is
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
$e$($u$[1], $\ldots$, $v$[1]) * $e$($u$[2], $\ldots$, $v$[1]) * $\ldots$
 * $e$($u$[end], $\ldots$, $v$[1]) * $\ldots$
 * $e$($u$[end], $\ldots$, $v$[end])
\end{lstlisting}
For non-\lstinline!Integer! indexing this uses all valid indices instead of 1..\lstinline!end!.

The type of \lstinline!product($e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$) for $i$ in $u$, $\ldots$, $j$ in $v$)! is the same as the type of \lstinline!$e$($i$, $\ldots$, $j$)!.
\end{semantics}
\end{operatordefinition*}

\subsubsection{Reduction Expressions}\label{reduction-expressions}

An expression:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
function-name "(" expression1 for iterators ")"
\end{lstlisting}%
\index{for@\robustinline{for}!reduction expression}

is a reduction-expression. The expressions in the iterators of a
reduction-expression shall be vector expressions. They are evaluated
once for each reduction-expression, and are evaluated in the scope
immediately enclosing the reduction-expression.

For an iterator:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
IDENT in expression2
\end{lstlisting}%
\index{in@\robustinline{in}!reduction expression}

the loop-variable, \lstinline!IDENT!, is in scope inside \lstinline!expression1!. The
loop-variable may hide other variables, as in for-clauses. The result
depends on the \lstinline!function-name!, and currently the only legal
function-names are the built-in operators \lstinline!array!, \lstinline!sum!,
\lstinline!product!, \lstinline!min!, and
\lstinline!max!. For array, see \cref{vector-matrix-and-array-constructors}. If \lstinline!function-name! is
\lstinline!sum!, \lstinline!product!, \lstinline!min!,
or \lstinline!max! the result is of the same type as \lstinline!expression1! and is constructed
by evaluating \lstinline!expression1! for each value of the loop-variable and
computing the \lstinline!sum!, \lstinline!product!, \lstinline!min!, or
\lstinline!max! of the computed elements. For
deduction of ranges, see \cref{implicit-iteration-ranges}; and for using types as ranges
see \cref{types-as-iteration-ranges}.

\begin{table}[H]
\caption{Reduction expressions with iterators.  (The least and greatest values of \lstinline!Real! are available as \lstinline!-Modelica.Constants.inf! and \lstinline!Modelica.Constants.inf!, respectively.)}

\lstinline!product! & Scalar \lstinline!Integer! or \lstinline!Real! & 1\\
\lstinline!min! & Scalar enumeration, \lstinline!Boolean!, \lstinline!Integer! or \lstinline!Real! & Greatest value of type\\
\lstinline!max! & Scalar enumeration, \lstinline!Boolean!, \lstinline!Integer! or \lstinline!Real! & Least value of type\\

\end{table}

\begin{example}
% No frame since the math would break it.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica, frame=none]

{product(j for j in 1:i) for i in 0:4} // Gives {1,1,2,6,24}
max(i^2 for  i in {3,7,6}) // Gives 49
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\subsection{Matrix and Vector Algebra Functions}\label{matrix-and-vector-algebra-functions}

Functions for matrix and vector algebra are listed below.  The function \lstinline!transpose! can be applied to any matrix.  The functions \lstinline!outerProduct!,  \lstinline!symmetric!, \lstinline!cross! and \lstinline!skew! require \lstinline!Real! vector(s) or matrix as input(s) and return a \lstinline!Real! vector or matrix.
\begin{center}

% Using operatordefinition rather than functiondefinition, since the result types cannot be expressed with a Modelica type signature.
\begin{operatordefinition}[transpose]
\begin{synopsis}\begin{lstlisting}

[ 0,   -$x$[3], $x$[2] ;
  $x$[3], 0,   -$x$[1] ;

\end{functiondefinition}

\section{Vector, Matrix and Array Constructors}\label{vector-matrix-and-array-constructors}

The \firstuse{array constructor}\index{array constructor} function \lstinline!array(A, B, C, $\ldots$)! constructs an array from its arguments according to the following rules:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  Size matching: All arguments must have the same sizes, i.e.,
  \lstinline!size(A)! = \lstinline!size(B)! = \lstinline!size(C)! = \ldots
\item
  All arguments must be type compatible expressions (\cref{type-compatible-expressions}) giving the type of the elements.  The data type of the result array is the
  maximally expanded type of the arguments. \lstinline!Real! and \lstinline!Integer! subtypes can be mixed resulting in a \lstinline!Real! result array where the
  \lstinline!Integer! numbers have been transformed to \lstinline!Real! numbers.
\item
  Each application of this constructor function adds a one-sized dimension to the left in the result compared to the dimensions of the argument arrays, i.e.,
  \lstinline!ndims(array(A, B, C)) = ndims(A) + 1 = ndims(B) + 1, $\ldots$!
\item
  \lstinline!{A, B, C, $\ldots$}! is a shorthand notation for \lstinline!array(A, B, C, $\ldots$)!.
\item
  There must be at least one argument.
  \begin{nonnormative}
  The reason \lstinline!array()! or \lstinline!{}! is not defined is that at least one argument is needed to determine the type of the resulting array.
  \end{nonnormative}
\end{itemize}

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica, escapechar=!]
{1, 2, 3} !\emph{is a 3-vector of type Integer}.!
{{11, 12, 13}, {21, 22, 23}} !\emph{is a 2 x 3 matrix of type Integer}!
{{{1.0, 2.0, 3.0}}} !\emph{is a 1 x 1 x 3 array of type Real}.!

Real[3] v = array(1, 2, 3.0);
type Angle = Real(unit="rad");
parameter Angle alpha = 2.0; // type of alpha is Real.
// array(alpha, 2, 3.0) or {alpha, 2, 3.0} is a 3-vector of type Real.
Angle[3] a = {1.0, alpha, 4}; // type of a is Real[3].
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\subsection{Array Constructor with Iterators}\label{array-constructor-with-iterators}

An expression:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
"{" expression for iterators "}"
\end{lstlisting}
or
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
array "(" expression for iterators ")"
\end{lstlisting}
is an \firstuse{array constructor with iterators}\index{array constructor!with iterators}.
The expressions inside the iterators of an array constructor shall be vector expressions.
They are evaluated once for each array constructor, and are evaluated in the scope immediately enclosing the array constructor.

For an iterator:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
IDENT in array_expression
\end{lstlisting}
the loop-variable, \lstinline!IDENT!, is in scope inside expression in the array construction.  The loop-variable may hide other variables, as in for-clauses.  The loop-variable has the same type as
the type of the elements of \lstinline!array_expression!; and can be simple type as well as a record type.  The loop-variable will have the same type for the entire loop -- i.e., for an
\lstinline!array_expression! \lstinline!{1, 3.2}! the iterator will have the type of the type-compatible expression (\lstinline!Real!) for all iterations.  For deduction of ranges, see
\cref{implicit-iteration-ranges}; and for using types as range see \cref{types-as-iteration-ranges}.

\subsubsection{Array Constructor with One Iterator}\label{array-constructor-with-one-iterator}

If only one iterator is used, the result is a vector constructed by
evaluating expression for each value of the loop-variable and forming an
array of the result.

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
array(i for i in 1:10)
// Gives the vector 1:10={1,2,3,...,10}

{r for r in 1.0 : 1.5 : 5.5}
// Gives the vector 1.0:1.5:5.5={1.0, 2.5, 4.0, 5.5}

{i^2 for i in {1,3,7,6}}
// Gives the vector {1, 9, 49, 36}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\subsubsection{Array Constructor with Several Iterators}\label{array-constructor-with-several-iterators}

The notation with several iterators is a shorthand notation for nested
array constructors. The notation can be expanded into the usual form by
replacing each '\lstinline!,!' by '\lstinline!} for!' and prepending the array constructor with
a '\lstinline!{!'.

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real hilb[:,:]= { 1/(i+j-1) for  i in 1:n, j in 1:n};
Real hilb2[:,:]={{ 1/(i+j-1) for  j in 1:n} for i in 1:n};
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\subsection{Array Concatenation}\label{array-concatenation}

The function \lstinline!cat($k$, A, B, C, $\ldots$)! concatenates arrays
\lstinline!A!, \lstinline!B!, \lstinline!C!, \ldots along
dimension $k$ according to the following rules:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  Arrays \lstinline!A!, \lstinline!B!, \lstinline!C!, \ldots must have the same number of dimensions, i.e.,
  \lstinline!ndims(A)! = \lstinline!ndims(B)! = \ldots
\item
  Arrays \lstinline!A!, \lstinline!B!, \lstinline!C!, \ldots must be type compatible expressions (\cref{type-compatible-expressions})
  giving the type of the elements of the result. The maximally expanded
  types should be equivalent. \lstinline!Real! and \lstinline!Integer! subtypes can be mixed
  resulting in a \lstinline!Real! result array where the \lstinline!Integer! numbers have been
  transformed to \lstinline!Real! numbers.
\item
  $k$ has to characterize an existing dimension, i.e., $1 \leq k \leq \text{\lstinline!ndims(A)!} = \text{\lstinline!ndims(B)!} = \text{\lstinline!ndims(C)!}$; $k$ shall be a parameter expression of \lstinline!Integer! type.
\item
  Size matching: Arrays \lstinline!A!, \lstinline!B!, \lstinline!C!, \ldots must have identical array sizes
  with the exception of the size of dimension $k$, i.e., \lstinline!size(A, $j$)! =
  \lstinline!size(B, $j$)!, for $1 \leq j \leq \text{\lstinline!ndims(A)!}$ and $j \neq k$.
\end{itemize}

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real[2,3] r1 = cat(1, {{1.0, 2.0, 3}}, {{4, 5, 6}});
Real[2,6] r2 = cat(2, r1, 2*r1);
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

Formally, the concatenation \lstinline!R = cat($k$, A, B, C, $\ldots$)! is defined as follows.  Let $n$ = \lstinline!ndims(A)! = \lstinline!ndims(B)! = \lstinline!ndims(C)! = \ldots  Then the size of \lstinline!R! is given by
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica,escapechar=!,frame=none,xleftmargin=1em]
size(R,$k$) = size(A,$k$) + size(B,$k$) + size(C,$k$) + $\ldots$
size(R,$j$) = size(A,$j$) = size(B,$j$) = size(C,$j$) = $\ldots$ !for! $1 \leq j \leq n$ !and! $j \neq k$
\end{lstlisting}
and the array elements of \lstinline!R! are given by
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica,escapechar=!,frame=none,xleftmargin=1em]
R[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{k}$, $\ldots$, $i_{n}$] = A[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{k}$, $\ldots$, $i_{n}$]
  !for! $0 < i_{k} \leq$ size(A,$k$)
R[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{k}$, $\ldots$, $i_{n}$] = B[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{k}$ - size(A,$k$), $\ldots$, $i_{n}$]
  !for! size(A,$k$) $< i_{k} \leq$ size(A,$k$) + size(B,$k$)
R[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{k}$, $\ldots$, $i_{n}$] = C[$i_{1}$, $\ldots$, $i_{k}$ - size(A,$k$) - size(B,$k$), $\ldots$, $i_{n}$]
  !for! size(A,$k$) + size(B,$k$) $< i_{k} \leq$ size(A,$k$) + size(B,$k$) + size(C,$k$)
$\ldots$
\end{lstlisting}
where $1 \leq i_{j} \leq$ \lstinline!size(R,$j$)! for $1 \leq j \leq n$.


\subsubsection{Array Concatenation along First and Second Dimensions}\label{array-concatenation-along-first-and-second-dimensions}

For convenience, a special syntax is supported for the concatenation along the first and second dimensions:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  \emph{Concatenation along first dimension}:\\
  \lstinline![A; B; C; $\ldots$] = cat(1, promote(A, n), promote(B, n), promote(C, n), $\ldots$)!
  where \lstinline!n = max(2, ndims(A), ndims(B), ndims(C), $\ldots$)!.  If necessary, 1-sized
  dimensions are added to the right of \lstinline!A!, \lstinline!B!, \lstinline!C! before the operation is
  carried out, in order that the operands have the same number of dimensions which will be at least two.
\item
  \emph{Concatenation along second dimension}:\\
  \lstinline![A, B, C, $\ldots$] = cat(2, promote(A, n), promote(B, n), promote(C, n), $\ldots$)!
  where \lstinline!n = max(2, ndims(A), ndims(B), ndims(C), $\ldots$)!.  If necessary, 1-sized
  dimensions are added to the right of \lstinline!A!, \lstinline!B!, \lstinline!C! before the operation is
  carried out, especially that each operand has at least two dimensions.
\item
  The two forms can be mixed.  \lstinline![$\ldots$, $\ldots$]! has higher precedence than
  \lstinline![$\ldots$; $\ldots$]!, e.g., \lstinline![a, b; c, d]! is parsed as \lstinline![[a, b]; [c, d]]!.
\item
  \lstinline![A] = promote(A, max(2, ndims(A)))!, i.e., \lstinline![A] = A!, if \lstinline!A! has 2 or more dimensions, and it is a matrix
  with the elements of \lstinline!A!, if \lstinline!A! is a scalar or a vector.
\item
  There must be at least one argument (i.e.\ \lstinline![]! is not defined).
\end{itemize}

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real s1, s2, v1[n1], v2[n2], M1[m1,n],
M2[m2,n], M3[n,m1], M4[n,m2], K1[m1,n,k],
K2[m2,n,k];
[v1;v2] is a (n1+n2) x 1 matrix
[M1;M2] is a (m1+m2) x n matrix
[M3,M4] is a n x (m1+m2) matrix
[K1;K2] is a (m1+m2) x n x k array
[s1;s2] is a 2 x 1 matrix
[s1,s1] is a 1 x 2 matrix
[s1] is a 1 x 1 matrix
[v1] is a n1 x 1 matrix
Real[3] v1 = array(1, 2, 3);
Real[3] v2 = {4, 5, 6};
Real[3,2] m1 = [v1, v2];
Real[3,2] m2 = [v1, [4;5;6]]; // m1 = m2
Real[2,3] m3 = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6];
Real[1,3] m4 = [1, 2, 3];
Real[3,1] m5 = [1; 2; 3];
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\subsection{Vector Construction}\label{vector-construction}

Vectors can be constructed with the general array constructor, e.g.,
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real[3] v = {1, 2, 3};
\end{lstlisting}
The range vector operator or colon operator of simple-expression can be used instead of or in combination with this general constructor to construct \lstinline!Real!, \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean! or enumeration type vectors.  Semantics of the colon operator:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $k$! is the \lstinline!Integer! vector \lstinline!{$j$, $j+1$, $\ldots$, $k$}!, if $j$ and $k$ are of type
  \lstinline!Integer!.
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $k$! is the \lstinline!Real! vector \lstinline!{$j$, $j+1.0$, $\ldots$, $j+n$}!, with $n = \text{\lstinline!floor!}(k - j)$, if
  $j$ and/or $k$ are of type \lstinline!Real!.
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $k$! is a \lstinline!Real!, \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!, or \lstinline!enumeration! type vector with zero elements, if $j > k$.
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $d$ : $k$! is the \lstinline!Integer! vector \lstinline!{$j$, $j+d$, $\ldots$, $j + n d$}!, with $n = \text{\lstinline!div!}(k - j, d)$, if $j$, $d$, and $k$ are of type \lstinline!Integer!.
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $d$ : $k$! is the \lstinline!Real! vector \lstinline!{$j$, $j+d$, $\ldots$, $j + n d$}!, with $n = \text{\lstinline!floor!}((k-j)/d)$,
  if $j$, $d$, or $k$ are of type \lstinline!Real!.  In order to avoid rounding issues for the length it is recommended to use \lstinline!{j + d * i for i in 0 : n}! or
  \lstinline!linspace(j, k, n + 1)! -- if the number of elements are known.
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $d$ : $k$! is a \lstinline!Real! or \lstinline!Integer! vector with zero elements, if $d > 0$ and $j > k$ or if $d < 0$ and $j < k$.
\item
  \lstinline!false : true! is the \lstinline!Boolean! vector \lstinline!{false, true}!.
\item
  \lstinline!$j$ : $j$! is \lstinline!{$j$}! if $j$ is \lstinline!Real!, \lstinline!Integer!, \lstinline!Boolean!, or \lstinline!enumeration! type.
\item
  \lstinline!E.ei : E.ej! is the enumeration type vector \lstinline!{E.ei, $\ldots$, E.ej}! where
  $\text{\lstinline!E.ej!} > \text{\lstinline!E.ei!}$, and \lstinline!ei! and \lstinline!ej! belong to some enumeration type
  \lstinline!E = enumeration($\ldots$, ei, $\ldots$, ej, $\ldots$)!.
\end{itemize}

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real v1[5] = 2.7 : 6.8;
Real v2[5] = {2.7, 3.7, 4.7, 5.7, 6.7}; // = same as v1
Boolean b1[2] = false:true;
Colors = enumeration (red,blue,green);
Colors ec[3] = Colors.red : Colors.green;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\section{Array Indexing}\label{array-indexing}

The array indexing operator \emph{name}\lstinline![!\emph{...}\lstinline!]! is used to
access array elements for retrieval of their values or for updating
these values. An indexing operation is subject to upper and lower array
dimension index bounds (\cref{array-dimension-lower-and-upper-index-bounds}).  The indexing operator takes two or more
operands, where the first operand is the array to be indexed and the rest of the operands are index expressions:

\lstinline!$\mathit{arrayname}$[$\mathit{indexexpr}_{1}$, $\mathit{indexexpr}_{2}$, $\ldots$]!

A colon is used to denote all indices of one dimension. A vector
expression can be used to pick out selected rows, columns and elements
of vectors, matrices, and arrays. The number of dimensions of the
expression is reduced by the number of scalar index arguments. If the
number of index arguments is smaller than the number of dimensions of
the array, the trailing indices will use `\lstinline!:!'.

It is also possible to use the array access operator to assign to element/elements of an array in algorithm sections.
This is called an \firstuse{indexed assignment statement}\index{assignment statement!indexed}.
If the index is an array the assignments take place in the order given by the index array.
For assignments to arrays and elements of arrays, the entire right-hand side and the index on the left-hand side are evaluated before any element is assigned a new value.

\begin{nonnormative}
An indexing operation is assumed to take constant time, i.e., largely independent of the size of the array.
\end{nonnormative}

\begin{example}
% henrikt-ma: This listing needs to be cleaned up from confusing punctuation.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica, escapechar=!]
a[:, j] !\emph{is a vector of the j-th column of a,}!
a[j] !\emph{is a vector of the j-th row of a:}! a[j, :]
a[j : k] is {[a[j], a[j+1], ... , a[k]}
a[:,j : k] is [a[:,j], a[:,j+1], ... , a[:,k]],
v[2:2:8] = v[ {2,4,6,8} ] .
v[{j,k}] := {2,3}; // Same as v[j] := 2; v[k] := 3;
v[{1,1}] := {2,3}; // Same as v[1] := 3;
\end{lstlisting}
If \lstinline!x! is a vector, \lstinline!x[1]! is a scalar, but the slice \lstinline!x[1:5]! is a vector
(a vector-valued or colon index expression causes a vector to be returned).
\end{example}

\begin{table}[H]
\caption{Examples of scalars vs.\ array slices created with the colon index.  The examples make use of the array variables \lstinline!x[$n$, $m$]!, \lstinline!v[$k$]!, and \lstinline!z[$i$, $j$, $p$]!.}

\subsection{Indexing with Boolean or Enumeration Values}\label{indexing-with-boolean-or-enumeration-values}

Arrays can be indexed using values of enumeration types or the \lstinline!Boolean! type, not only by \lstinline!Integer!.  The type of the index should correspond to
the type used for declaring the dimension of the array.

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
  type ShirtSizes = enumeration(small, medium, large, xlarge);
  Real[ShirtSizes] w;
  Real[Boolean] b2;
algorithm
  w[ShirtSizes.large] := 2.28; // Assign a value to an element of w
  b2[true] := 10.0;
  b2[ShirtSizes.medium] := 4; // Error, b2 was declared with Boolean dimension
  w[1] := 3; // Error, w was declared with ShirtSizes dimension
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\subsection{Indexing with end}\label{indexing-with-end}

The expression \lstinline!end!\index{end@\robustinline{end}} may only appear inside array subscripts, and if used in the $i$:th subscript of an array expression \lstinline!A! it is equivalent to \lstinline!size(A, $i$)! provided indices to \lstinline!A! are a subtype of \lstinline!Integer!.
If used inside nested array subscripts it refers to the most closely nested array.

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica, escapechar=!]
A[end - 1, end] !is! A[size(A,1) - 1, size(A,2)]
A[v[end], end] !is! A[v[size(v,1)], size(A,2)] // !\emph{First}! end !\emph{is referring to end of v.}!
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\section{Scalar, Vector, Matrix, and Array Operator Functions}\label{scalar-vector-matrix-and-array-operator-functions}

The mathematical operations defined on scalars, vectors, and matrices are the subject of linear algebra.

The term numeric or numeric class is used below for a subtype of the \lstinline!Real! or \lstinline!Integer! type classes.  The standard type coercion defined
in \cref{standard-type-coercion} applies.

\subsection{Equality and Assignment}\label{equality-and-assignment}

Equality \lstinline!a = b! and assignment \lstinline!a := b! of scalars, vectors, matrices, and arrays is defined element-wise and require both objects to have the same number of dimensions and corresponding dimension sizes.
See \cref{array-indexing} regarding assignments to array variables with vector of subscripts.

The operands need to be type equivalent.
This is legal for the simple types and all types satisfying the requirements for a record, and is in the latter case applied to each component-element of the records.

Addition \lstinline!a + b! and subtraction \lstinline!a - b! of numeric scalars, vectors, matrices,
and arrays is defined element-wise and require \lstinline!size(a) = size(b)! and a
numeric type for \lstinline!a! and \lstinline!b!. Unary plus and minus are defined element-wise.
Addition \lstinline!a + b! of string scalars, vectors, matrices, and arrays is defined

\subsection{Exponentiation of Scalars of Numeric Elements}\label{exponentiation-of-scalars-of-numeric-elements}

Exponentiation \lstinline!a ^ b! is defined as \lstinline[language=C]!pow(double a, double b)! in the ANSI~C library if both \lstinline!a! and \lstinline!b! are
\lstinline!Real! scalars. A \lstinline!Real! scalar value is returned.  If \lstinline!a! or \lstinline!b! are \lstinline!Integer! scalars, they are
automatically promoted to \lstinline!Real!.  Consequences of exceptional situations, such as ($\text{\lstinline!a!} = 0.0$ and $\text{\lstinline!b!} \leq 0.0$,
$\text{\lstinline!a!} < 0$ and \lstinline!b! is not an integer) or overflow are undefined.

Element-wise exponentiation \lstinline!a .^ b! of numeric scalars, vectors, matrices, or arrays \lstinline!a! and \lstinline!b! requires a numeric type class for
\lstinline!a! and \lstinline!b! and either \lstinline!size(a) = size(b)! or scalar \lstinline!a! or scalar \lstinline!b!.

Scalar & $n \times m \times \ldots$ & $n \times m \times \ldots$ & \lstinline!c[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$] := a ^ b[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$]!\\
$n \times m \times \ldots$ & Scalar & $n \times m \times \ldots$ & \lstinline!c[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$] := a[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$] ^ b!\\
$n \times m \times \ldots$ & $n \times m \times \ldots$ & $n \times m \times \ldots$ & \lstinline!c[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$] := a[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$] ^ b[$j$, $k$, $\ldots$]!\\

2 .^[1, 2; 3, 4] // fine; element-wise exponentiation
\end{lstlisting}
This is a consequence of the parsing rules, i.e.\ since \lstinline!2.! could be a lexical unit it seen as a lexical unit; using a space after
literals solves the problem.
\end{example}

\subsection{Scalar Exponentiation of Square Matrices of Numeric Elements}\label{scalar-exponentiation-of-square-matrices-of-numeric-elements}

Exponentiation \lstinline!a ^ s! is defined if \lstinline!a! is a square numeric matrix and \lstinline!s! is a scalar as a subtype of \lstinline!Integer!
with $\text{\lstinline!s!} \geq 0$.  The exponentiation is done by repeated multiplication, e.g.:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
a^3 = a * a * a;
a^0 = identity(size(a, 1));
assert(size(a, 1) == size(a, 2), "Matrix must be square");
a^1 = a;
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{nonnormative}
Non-\lstinline!Integer! exponents are forbidden, because this would require
computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of \lstinline!a! and this is no
longer an elementary operation.
\end{nonnormative}

\subsection{Slice Operation}\label{slice-operation}

The following holds for slice operations:
\begin{itemize}
\item
  If \lstinline!a! is an array containing scalar components and \lstinline!m! is a component of those components, the expression \lstinline!a.m! is interpreted as a
  slice operation.  It returns the array of components \lstinline!{a[1].m, $\ldots$}!.
\item
  If \lstinline!m! is also an array component, the slice operation is valid only if \lstinline!size(a[1].m)! = \lstinline!size(a[2].m)! = \ldots
\item
  The slicing operation can be combined with indexing, e.g.\ \lstinline!a.m[1]!.  It returns the array of components \lstinline!{a[1].m[1], a[2].m[1], $\ldots$}!,
  and does not require that \lstinline!size(a[1].m) = size(a[2].m)!.  The number of subscripts on \lstinline!m! must not be greater than the number of array dimension
  for \lstinline!m! (the number can be smaller, in which case the missing trailing indices are assumed to be `\lstinline!:!'), and is only valid if
  \lstinline!size(a[1].m[$\ldots$]) = size(a[2].m[$\ldots$])!.
\end{itemize}

\begin{example}
The size-restriction on the operand is only applicable if the indexing on the second operand uses vectors or colon as in the example:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
  constant Integer m=3;
  Modelica.Blocks.Continuous.LowpassButterworth tf[m](n=2:(m+1));
  Real y[m];
  Real y2,y3;
equation
  // Extract the x1 slice even though different x1's have different lengths
  y = tf.x1[1] ; // Legal, = {tf[1].x1[1], tf[2].x1[1], $\ldots$ tf[m].x1[1]};
  y2 = sum(tf.x1[:]); // Illegal to extract all elements since they have
    // different lengths. Does not satisfy:
    // size(tf[1].x1[:]) = size(tf[2].x1[:]) = $\ldots$ = size(tf[m].x1[:])
  y3 = sum(tf.x1[1:2]); // Legal.
    // Since x1 has at least 2 elements in all tf, and
    // size(tf[1].x1[1:2]) = size(tf[2].x1[1:2]) = $\ldots$ = size(tf[m].x1[1:2]) = {2}
\end{lstlisting}
In this example the different \lstinline!x1! vectors have different lengths,
but it is still possible to perform some operations on them.
\end{example}

\subsection{Relational Operators}\label{relational-operators}

Relational operators \lstinline!<!, \lstinline!<=!, \lstinline!>!,
\lstinline!>=!, \lstinline!==!, \lstinline!<>!, are only defined for
scalar operands of simple types, not for arrays, see \cref{equality-relational-and-logical-operators}

\subsection{Boolean Operators}\label{boolean-operators}

The operators \lstinline!and! and \lstinline!or! take expressions of \lstinline!Boolean! type, which are either scalars or arrays of matching dimensions.  The operator \lstinline!not!
takes an expression of \lstinline!Boolean! type, which is either scalar or an array.  The result is the element-wise logical operation.  For short-circuit evaluation of \lstinline!and!
and \lstinline!or!, see \cref{evaluation-order}.

See \cref{scalar-functions-applied-to-array-arguments}.

\subsection{Standard Type Coercion}\label{standard-type-coercion}
In all contexts that require an expression which is a subtype of \lstinline!Real!, an expression which is a subtype of \lstinline!Integer! can also be used;
the \lstinline!Integer! expression is automatically converted to \lstinline!Real!.

This also applies to arrays of \lstinline!Real!, and for fields of record expressions.  There is no similar rule for sub-typing.

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record RealR
  Real x,y;
end RealR;
record IntegerR
  Integer x,y;
end IntegerR;
parameter Integer a = 1;
Real y(start=a);           // Ok, a is automatically coerced to Real
RealR r1 = IntegerR(a, a); // Ok, record is automatically coerced
RealR r2 = RealR(a, a);    // Ok, a is automatically coerced to Real
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}

\section{Empty Arrays}\label{empty-arrays}

Arrays may have dimension sizes of 0.  For example:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real x[0]; // an empty vector
Real A[0, 3], B[5, 0], C[0, 0]; // empty matrices
\end{lstlisting}

Empty matrices can be constructed with the fill function.  For example:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real A[:,:] = fill(0.0, 0, 1); // a Real 0 x 1 matrix
Boolean B[:, :, :] = fill(false, 0, 1, 0); // a Boolean 0 x 1 x 0 matrix
\end{lstlisting}

It is not possible to access an element of an empty matrix, e.g.\ \lstinline!v[j, k]! cannot be evaluated if \lstinline!v = []! because the assertion fails
that the index must be bigger than one.

Size-requirements of operations, such as \lstinline!+!, \lstinline!-!, must also be fulfilled if a dimension is zero.  For example:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real[3, 0] A, B;
Real[0, 0] C;
A + B // fine, result is an empty matrix
A + C // error, sizes do not agree
\end{lstlisting}

Multiplication of two empty matrices results in a zero matrix of corresponding numeric type if the result matrix has no zero dimension sizes, i.e.,
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real[0, m] * Real[m, n] = Real[0, n] (empty matrix)
Real[m, n] * Real[n, 0] = Real[m, 0] (empty matrix)
Real[m, 0] * Real[0, n] = fill(0.0, m, n) (non-empty matrix, with zero elements).
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
Real u[p], x[n], y[q], A[n, n], B[n, p], C[q, n], D[q, p];
der(x) = A * x + B * u
y = C * x + D * u
\end{lstlisting}
Assume $\text{\lstinline!n!} = 0$, $\text{\lstinline!p!} > 0$, $\text{\lstinline!q!} > 0$: Results in \lstinline!y = D * u!.
\end{example}
