kronecker-methods {Matrix} | R Documentation

## Methods for Function 'kronecker()' in Package 'Matrix'

### Description

Computes Kronecker products for objects inheriting from `"Matrix"`.

In order to preserver sparseness, we treat `0 * NA` as `0`, not as `NA` as usually in R (and as used for the base function `kronecker`).

### Methods

kronecker

  `signature(X = "Matrix", Y = "ANY")` .......

kronecker

  `signature(X = "ANY", Y = "Matrix")` .......

kronecker

  `signature(X = "diagonalMatrix", Y = "ANY")` .......

kronecker

  `signature(X = "sparseMatrix", Y = "ANY")` .......

kronecker

  `signature(X = "TsparseMatrix", Y = "TsparseMatrix")` .......

kronecker

  `signature(X = "dgTMatrix", Y = "dgTMatrix")` .......

kronecker

  `signature(X = "dtTMatrix", Y = "dtTMatrix")` .......

### Examples

    (t1 <- spMatrix(5,4, x= c(3,2,-7,11), i= 1:4, j=4:1)) #  5 x  4
    (t2 <- kronecker(Diagonal(3, 2:4), t1))               # 15 x 12

    ## should also work with special-cased logical matrices
    l3 <- upper.tri(matrix(,3,3))
    M <- Matrix(l3)
    (N <- as(M, "nsparseMatrix"))
    N2 <- as(N, "generalMatrix")
    MM <- kronecker(M,M)
    NN <- kronecker(N,N)
    NN2 <- kronecker(N2,N2)
    stopifnot(identical(NN,MM),
              is(NN, "triangularMatrix"))
