kronecker: Kronecker Products on Sparse Matrices

In spam: SPArse Matrix

Kronecker Products on Sparse Matrices

Description

Computes the generalised kronecker product of two arrays, X and Y.

Usage

kronecker.spam(X, Y, FUN = "*", make.dimnames = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

X	sparse matrix of class spam, a vector or a matrix.
Y	sparse matrix of class spam, a vector or a matrix.
FUN	a function; it may be a quoted string. See details
make.dimnames	Provide dimnames that are the product of the dimnames of X and Y.
...	optional arguments to be passed to FUN.

Details

The sparsity structure is determined by the ordinary %x%. Hence, the result of kronecker(X, Y, FUN = "+") is different depending on the input.

Value

An array A with dimensions dim(X) * dim(Y).

Examples

# Starting with non-spam objects, we get a spam matrix
kronecker.spam( diag(2), array(1:4, c(2, 2)))

kronecker( diag.spam(2), array(1:4, c(2, 2)))

# Notice the preservation of sparsity structure:
kronecker( diag.spam(2), array(1:4, c(2, 2)), FUN="+")
