In mathematics, the Kronecker product, sometimes denoted by ⊗, is an operation on two matrices of arbitrary size resulting in a block matrix.It is a specialization of the tensor product (which is denoted by the same symbol) from vectors to matrices and gives the matrix of the tensor product linear map with respect to a standard choice of basis.
The vectorization is frequently used together with the Kronecker product to express matrix multiplication as a linear transformation on matrices. In particular, = for matrices A, B, and C of dimensions k×l, l×m, and m×n.
The generalized Kronecker delta or multi-index Kronecker delta of order is a type (,) tensor that is completely antisymmetric in its upper indices, and also in its lower indices. Two definitions that differ by a factor of p ! {\displaystyle p!} are in use.
where is the Kronecker delta or identity matrix. Finite-dimensional real vector spaces with (pseudo-)metrics are classified up to signature, a coordinate-free property which is well-defined by Sylvester's law of inertia. Possible metrics on real space are indexed by signature (,).
In mathematics, matrix addition is the operation of adding two matrices by adding the corresponding entries together. For a vector , v → {\displaystyle {\vec {v}}\!} , adding two matrices would have the geometric effect of applying each matrix transformation separately onto v → {\displaystyle {\vec {v}}\!} , then adding the transformed vectors.
In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.
That is, the matrix that transforms the vector components must be the inverse of the matrix that transforms the basis vectors. The components of vectors (as opposed to those of covectors) are said to be contravariant. In Einstein notation (implicit summation over repeated index), contravariant components are denoted with upper indices as in
A dyad is a component of the dyadic (a monomial of the sum or equivalently an entry of the matrix) — the dyadic product of a pair of basis vectors scalar multiplied by a number. Just as the standard basis (and unit) vectors i , j , k , have the representations:
