[Numpy-discussion] Array of matrices - Inverse and dot
Hello, I would like to operate in an easy and efficient way (without python loop) with arrays of matrices. Suppose a and b are some arrays of N1*N2 matrices of size 3*3, I would like to calculate inv_a and dot_ab, which would be arrays of N1*N2 (3*3)-matrices, such as : inv_a[i, j] = np.linalg.inv(a[i, j]) dot_ab[i, j] = np.dot(a[i, j], b[i, j]) (where a and b could be : N1 = 5 N2 = 6 a = np.random((N1, N2, 3, 3) b = np.random((N1, N2, 3, 3) ). Thank you, (Sorry to ask the list : I think it is quite a basic stuff, but searching for "array of matrices" on google didn't help me so much.)

Could do the same for linalg.inv. This comes up a lot in OFDM MIMO systems so I wrote C++ code for complex matrix multiply (arbitrary size), 2x2 complex inverse and 2x2 complex matrix singular values, and then swigged it. I know a colleague at work has extended this work to arbitrary size inverse. I wish I could share the code but it is something developed for my company which has fairly strict policies about posting these things (not worth the red-tape)... I vote "+1" for such features in Numpy. I haven't looked too much "under the hood" of numpy so I am not sure how you would do it or how hard it would be.
