List of H Matrices

Description

This function constructs and returns a list of lists. The component of each sublist is derived from column vectors in an order r and order c identity matrix.

Usage

H.matrices(r, c = r)

Arguments

r

a positive integer value for an order r identity matrix

c

a positive integer value for an order c identify matrix

Details

Let {{\bf{I}}_r} = \lbrack {\begin{array}{cccc} {{{\bf{a}}_1}}&{{{\bf{a}}_2}}& \cdots &{{{\bf{a}}_r}} \end{array}} \rbrack be the order r identity matrix with corresponding unit vectors {{{\bf{a}}_i}} with one in its ith position and zeros elsewhere. Let {{\bf{I}}_c} = \lbrack {\begin{array}{cccc} {{{\bf{b}}_1}}&{{{\bf{b}}_2}}& \cdots &{{{\bf{b}}_c}} \end{array}} \rbrack be the order c identity matrix with corresponding unit vectors {{{\bf{b}}_i}} with one in its ith position and zeros elsewhere. The r \times c matrix {\bf{H}}{}_{i,j} = {{\bf{a}}_i}\;{{\bf{b'}}_j} is used in the computation of the commutation matrix.

Value

A list with r components

1

A sublist of c components

2

A sublist of c components

...

r

A sublist of c components

Each component j of sublist i is a matrix {\bf{H}}_{i,j}

Note

The argument n must be an integer value greater than or equal to two.
