Compatibility With Inner Products
Vectorization is a unitary transformation from the space of n×n matrices with the Frobenius (or Hilbert-Schmidt) inner product to Cn :
- tr(A* B) = vec(A)* vec(B)
where the superscript * denotes the conjugate transpose.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
