Agree, it is ambiguous. Will try again....

Suppose I have the following

X<-matrix(c(1:20),nrow=4,byrow=T), hence this is a 4 by 5 matrix
Y<-matrix(c(2,4,6,8),ncol=1), and this is a 4 by 1 vector, each value denote y1, y2,y3, y4

Step 1 - write each row of X as a vector, so I have vectors t(x_1), t(x_2), t(x_3) and t(x_4)

Not necessary to form the transpose of the row vectors because the %*% infix operator implicitly forms the transpose of the first argument.

Step 2 (inner product) ---- [prod(t(x_1) *x_2) + prod(t(x_1) *x_3) + prod(t(x_1) *x_4) ] *y1

For the first row, you can get all cross-products with:
apply(X, 1, function(x) x %*% X[1,] )
# [1]  55 130 205 280

Now form a matrix to hold the 4 sets:

xx <- matrix(NA, nrow=4,ncol=4)
for (i in 1:nrow(X) ) {xx[i, ] <- apply(X, 1, function(x) x %*% X[i,] )}

# Since you don't want the diagonal X[i, ]%*%X[i, ], zero them out:
 diag(xx) <- 0
> xx
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    0  130  205  280
[2,]  130    0  530  730
[3,]  205  530    0 1180
[4,]  280  730 1180    0

sum(Y[1:4]*xx[1:4,])
# [1] 35800

You still have not really specified what your expectation was, so there is no way to assess success at this end of the email-breathing- straw

Repeat for each row of X, that is

   [prod(t(x_2) *x_1) + prod(t(x_2) *x_3) + prod(t(x_2) *x_4)] *y2
   [prod(t(x_3) *x_1) + prod(t(x_3) *x_2) + prod(t(x_3) *x_4)] *y3
   [prod(t(x_4) *x_1) + prod(t(x_4) *x_2) + prod(t(x_4) *x_3)] *y4


Hope this makes better sense ...

"remaining j rows"  ==? What is "j", Is it nrow(X)-1 ? An what sort of
"multiplication by rows" do you mean? The inner product?

> multiplied by j y values (i.e sum( t(x_i) x_j y_j) )

"multiplied by j y values" ==? You defined Y but not y. Assuming that
you meant Y values, then we are still left to speculate about which of
the 5 Y values are suppose to be matched to the 3 rows of X.

Generally unambiguous questions get answered quickly. Perhaps other
readers are having the same difficulties I am experiencing. So let's
try to parse what you are asking:
