Matrix Product (Conventional)

Let $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ be a ring.

Let $\mathbf A = \sqbrk a_{m n}$ be an $m \times n$ matrix over $R$.

Let $\mathbf B = \sqbrk b_{n p}$ be an $n \times p$ matrix over $R$.

Then the matrix product of $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf B$ is written $\mathbf A \mathbf B$ and is defined as follows.

Let $\mathbf A \mathbf B = \mathbf C = \sqbrk c_{m p}$.


Then:

$\ds \forall i \in \closedint 1 m, j \in \closedint 1 p: c_{i j} = \sum_{k \mathop = 1}^n a_{i k} \circ b_{k j}$


Thus $\sqbrk c_{m p}$ is the $m \times p$ matrix where each entry $c_{i j}$ is built by forming the (ring) product of each entry in the $i$'th row of $\mathbf A$ with the corresponding entry in the $j$'th column of $\mathbf B$ and adding up all those products.


This operation is called matrix multiplication, and $\mathbf C$ is the matrix product of $\mathbf A$ with $\mathbf B$.


Matrix Scalar Product

Let $\GF$ denote one of the standard number systems.

Let $\map \MM {m, n}$ be the $m \times n$ matrix space over $\GF$.

Let $\mathbf A = \sqbrk a_{m n} \in \map \MM {m, n}$.

Let $\lambda \in \GF$ be any element of $\Bbb F$.


The operation of scalar multiplication of $\mathbf A$ by $\lambda$ is defined as follows.

Let $\lambda \mathbf A = \mathbf C$.

Then:

$\forall i \in \closedint 1 m, j \in \closedint 1 n: c_{i j} = \lambda a_{i j}$

$\lambda \mathbf A$ is the scalar product of $\lambda$ and $\mathbf A$.


Thus $\mathbf C = \sqbrk c_{m n}$ is the $m \times n$ matrix composed of the product of $\lambda$ with the corresponding elements of $\mathbf A$.

Kronecker Product

Also known as matrix direct product:


Let $\mathbf A = \sqbrk a_{m n}$ and $\mathbf B = \sqbrk b_{p q}$ be matrices.

The Kronecker product of $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf B$ is denoted $\mathbf A \otimes \mathbf B$ and is defined as the block matrix:

$\mathbf A \otimes \mathbf B = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} \mathbf B & a_{12} \mathbf B & \cdots & a_{1n} \mathbf B \\ a_{21} \mathbf B & a_{22} \mathbf B & \cdots & a_{2n} \mathbf B \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{m1} \mathbf B & a_{m2} \mathbf B & \cdots & a_{mn} \mathbf B \end{bmatrix}$


Writing this out in full:

$\mathbf A \otimes \mathbf B = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} b_{11} & a_{11} b_{12} & \cdots & a_{11} b_{1q} & \cdots & \cdots & a_{1n} b_{11} & a_{1n} b_{12} & \cdots & a_{1n} b_{1q} \\ a_{11} b_{21} & a_{11} b_{22} & \cdots & a_{11} b_{2q} & \cdots & \cdots & a_{1n} b_{21} & a_{1n} b_{22} & \cdots & a_{1n} b_{2q} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & & & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{11} b_{p1} & a_{11} b_{p2} & \cdots & a_{11} b_{pq} & \cdots & \cdots & a_{1n} b_{p1} & a_{1n} b_{p2} & \cdots & a_{1n} b_{pq} \\ \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots & \ddots & & \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots \\ \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots & & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots \\ a_{m1} b_{11} & a_{m1} b_{12} & \cdots & a_{m1} b_{1q} & \cdots & \cdots & a_{mn} b_{11} & a_{mn} b_{12} & \cdots & a_{mn} b_{1q} \\ a_{m1} b_{21} & a_{m1} b_{22} & \cdots & a_{m1} b_{2q} & \cdots & \cdots & a_{mn} b_{21} & a_{mn} b_{22} & \cdots & a_{mn} b_{2q} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & & & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{m1} b_{p1} & a_{m1} b_{p2} & \cdots & a_{m1} b_{pq} & \cdots & \cdots & a_{mn} b_{p1} & a_{mn} b_{p2} & \cdots & a_{mn} b_{pq} \end{bmatrix}$


Thus, if:

$\mathbf A$ is a matrix with order $m \times n$
$\mathbf B$ is a matrix with order $p \times q$

then $\mathbf A \otimes \mathbf B$ is a matrix with order $m p \times n q$.


Hadamard Product

Also known as Matrix Entrywise Product or Schur Product:


Let $\mathbf A = \sqbrk a_{m n}$ and $\mathbf B = \sqbrk b_{m n}$ be $m \times n$ matrices over a ring $\struct {R, +, \times}$.


The Hadamard product of $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf B$ is written $\mathbf A \circ \mathbf B$ and is defined as follows:

$\mathbf A \circ \mathbf B := \mathbf C = \sqbrk c_{m n}$

where:

$\forall i \in \closedint 1 m, j \in \closedint 1 n: c_{i j} = a_{i j} \times b_{i j}$

There are more specialized matrix products for vectors expressed as matrices:

Because of the ambiguity surrounding the interpretation of the term scalar product, it is recommended that it is not used.

Linguistic Note

Some older sources use the term matric multiplication instead of matrix multiplication.

Strictly speaking it is more correct, as matric is the adjective formed from the noun matrix, but it is a little old-fashioned and is rarely found nowadays.
