Operator Reference
mult_matrix (Operator)
mult_matrix — Multiply two matrices.
Signature
mult_matrix( : : MatrixAID, MatrixBID, MultType : MatrixMultID)
Description
The operator mult_matrix computes the product of the input
matrices MatrixA and MatrixB defined by the
matrix handles MatrixAID and MatrixBID. A new
matrix MatrixMult is generated with the result. The
operator returns the matrix handle MatrixMultID of the
matrix MatrixMult. Access to the elements of the matrix
is possible e.g., with the operator get_full_matrix. If
desired, one or both input matrices will be transposed for the
multiplication.
The type of multiplication can be selected via MultType:
- 'AB':
-
The matrices
MatrixAandMatrixBwill not be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of columns of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of rows of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
- 'ATB':
-
The matrix
MatrixAwill be transposed. The matrixMatrixBwill not be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of rows of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of rows of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
- 'ABT':
-
The matrix
MatrixAwill not be transposed. The matrixMatrixBwill be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of columns of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of columns of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
- 'ATBT':
-
The matrix
MatrixAand the matrixMatrixBwill be transposed. Therefore, the formula for the calculation of the result is:The number of rows of the matrix
MatrixAmust be identical to the number of columns of the matrixMatrixB.Example:
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
MatrixAID (input_control) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix A.
MatrixBID (input_control) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle of the input matrix B.
MultType (input_control) string → (string)
Type of the input matrices.
Default: 'AB'
List of values: 'AB', 'ABT', 'ATB', 'ATBT'
MatrixMultID (output_control) matrix → (handle)
Matrix handle of the multiplied matrices.
Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator mult_matrix
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If necessary, an exception is raised.
