G.6 KRONECKER AND SCHUR PRODUCTS
Definition: Kronecker Product The Kronecker product of matrices
and
is a size
block matrix:
(G.50)
where the upper-left block is
(G.51)
and likewise for the other blocks.
Although the Kronecker product is associative, it is not commutative:
. Note also that A and B can be vectors: if
is a column vector and
is a row vector, then
is a matrix. For this case, the Kronecker product reduces to the standard vector outer product abT.
Definition: Schur Product For matrices and , the Schur product is obtained by a multiplication of their entries element-wise:
