Sep 3, 2020 · a * b is a multiplication operator - it will return elements in a multiplied by elements in b. When a and b are both matrices (specifically defined by np.matrix) the result will be the same as the @ operator. a @ b is matrix multiplication (dot product when used with vectors).

When I multiply two numpy arrays of sizes (n x n)*(n x 1), I get a matrix of size (n x n). Following normal matrix multiplication rules, an (n x 1) vector is expected, but I simply cannot find any information about how this is done in Python's Numpy module. The thing is that I don't want to implement it manually to preserve the speed of the ...

Aug 7, 2012 · In the above example, you can use it to calculate your matrix product as follows: P = np.einsum( "ij,jk,kl,lm", A1, A2, A3, A4 ) Here, the first argument tells the function which indices to apply to the argument matrices and then all doubly appearing indices are summed over, yielding the desired result.

I think you just need to simplify the formula of matrix multiplication. We have A*B=C then: Cij= the value in the ith row and jth column of the answer. For example above we have C12=16 and C11=13.. (note that this is the 0th position in the array so often we start from 0 instead of 1)

Apr 26, 2018 · the * operator (and arithmetic operators in general) were defined as element-wise operations on ndarrays and as matrix-multiplication on numpy.matrix type. method/function dot was used for matrix multiplication of ndarrays. Introduction of the @ operator makes the code involving matrix multiplications much easier to read. PEP0465 gives us an ...

Oct 14, 2016 · matrix objects have all sorts of horrible incompatibilities with regular ndarrays. With ndarrays, you can just use * for elementwise multiplication: a * b If you're on Python 3.5+, you don't even lose the ability to perform matrix multiplication with an operator, because @ does matrix multiplication now: a @ b # matrix multiplication

Nov 30, 2017 · When I had to do some matrix arithmetic I defined a new class to help. Within such a class you can define magic methods like __add__, or, in your use-case, __matmul__, allowing you to define x = a @ b or a @= b rather than matrixMult(a,b).

Oct 20, 2017 · I know about the ability of python to do matrix multiplications. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this abstractly? So not with definite numbers but with variables. Example: M = ( 1 0 ) * ( 1 d ) ( a c ) ( 0 1 ) Is there some way to define a,c and d, so that the matrix multiplication gives me ( 1 d ) ( a a*d + c ) ?

In the context of matrix multiplication, a @ b invokes a.__matmul__(b) - making this syntax: a @ b equivalent to . dot(a, b) and . a @= b equivalent to . a = dot(a, b) where dot is, for example, the numpy matrix multiplication function and a and b are …
