Matrix (version 1.2-7.1)

kronecker-methods: Methods for Function 'kronecker()' in Package 'Matrix'

Description

Computes Kronecker products for objects inheriting from "Matrix".

In order to preserver sparseness, we treat 0 * NA as 0, not as NA as usually in R (and as used for the base function kronecker).

Methods

Examples

(t1 <- spMatrix(5,4, x= c(3,2,-7,11), i= 1:4, j=4:1)) #  5 x  4
(t2 <- kronecker(Diagonal(3, 2:4), t1))               # 15 x 12

## should also work with special-cased logical matrices
l3 <- upper.tri(matrix(,3,3))
M <- Matrix(l3)
(N <- as(M, "nsparseMatrix"))
N2 <- as(N, "generalMatrix")
MM <- kronecker(M,M)
NN <- kronecker(N,N)
NN2 <- kronecker(N2,N2)
stopifnot(identical(NN,MM),
          is(NN, "triangularMatrix"))
