Vectorization (mathematics) - Compatibility With Inner Products

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:

    “But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
