From: pp on 19 Apr 2010 02:03 I am currently dealing with sparse matrices and have doubts on whether we can use 1.) dot (for matrix multiplication) and inv (inverse) operations of numpy on sparse matrices of CSR format. I initially constructed my sparse matrix using COO format and then converted it to CSR format now I want to know whether normal inverse and matrix multiplications work with sparse csr matrices. Also can these operations be applied directly to csr matrices Thanks a lot
From: pp on 19 Apr 2010 03:38 I tried csr_matrix.dot(A,N) where A and N are two sparse matrices. is it correct for multiplication of two sparse matrices ? I still do not now how to perform matrix inversion for a sparse matrix. Can anyone please help. Thanks!!

Note, in nearly all cases the inverse of a sparse matrix is a full matrix. Instead of inverting a matrix solve a linear system with that matrix. What do you need the inverse for?
