Matrix product
Definition
$R$ … ring |
$m,n,k\in \mathbb N$ |
$ *: \mathrm{Matrix}(m,n,R)\times \mathrm{Matrix}(n,k,R)\to \mathrm{Matrix}(m,k,R) $ |
$ (A*B)_{ij}=\sum_{l=1}^m A_{il}\cdot B_{lj} $ |
Discussion
For square matrices, the matrix product is associative. And also for general matrices, we still have $(A*B)*'C=A*''(B*'''C)$, where the four binary functions are the matrix products for the suitable dimensions.
