Numerical and Symbolic Dot Product

Description

The dot product between arrays with different dimensions is computed by taking the inner product on the last dimensions of the two arrays.

Usage

x %dot% y

Arguments

x	numeric or character array.
y	numeric or character array.

Details

The dot product between two arrays A and B is computed as:

C_{i_1… i_m} = ∑_{j_1… j_n} A_{i_1… i_mj_1… j_n}B_{j_1… j_n}

Value

array.
