mul.tensor: Tensor multiplication for the tensor class

Description

Performs a tensor multiplication like tensor(), but with named indices, keeping dimnames, and vectorized.

Usage

mul.tensor(X,i=c(),Y,j=i,by=NULL)

Arguments

X

a tensor to be multiplied

i

numeric or character vector specifying the dimension to be used in the multiplication for X

Y

a tensor to be multiplied

j

numeric or character vector specifying the dimension to be used in the multiplication for Y

by

the by dimensions if present and not mentioned in i or j are used as sequence dimensions. tensors in these dimensions are processed in parallel. So in this dimension the product is neither inner nor outer but parallel like a*b, rather than a%*%b or a%o%b. Unmentioned dimensions get an outer product. Mentioned dimensions an inner.

Value

The tensor product of X and Y with respect to the regarding dimensions.

Details

Say $$X_{i_1\ldots i_n h_1 \ldots h_l}$$ and $$Y_{j_1\ldots j_n k_1 \ldots k_m}$$ the the result is: $$E_{h_1\ldots h_l k_1 \ldots k_m}= \sum_{i_1,\ldots,i_n} X_{i_1\ldots i_n h_1 \ldots h_l}Y_{j_1\ldots j_n k_1 \ldots k_m}$$

This is an full outer product with i,j not given and a full inner product product of i=dim(X)

Examples

# NOT RUN {
A <- to.tensor(1:20,c(A=2,B=2,C=5))
B <- to.tensor(1:20,c(D=2,B=2,E=5))
mul.tensor(A,"A",A,"B")
