kron .\. ./.

Kronecker left and right divisions

Syntax

X = A .\. B // while B = A .*. X
X = B ./. A // while B = X .*. A

Arguments

X
Array of decimal or complex numbers, of size (x1,x2,..).
A
Array of decimal or complex numbers, of size (a1,a2,..), with any number of dimensions.
B
Array of decimal or complex numbers, of size (a1*x1, a2*x2,..), with any number of dimensions.

Description

B ./. A computes and provides the array X such that B = X .*. A.

A .\. B computes and provides the array X such that B = A .*. X.

In both cases, each X coefficient is constrained by length(A) proportional equations. The divisions are so performed in a least-square way minimizing norm(A.*.X - B, 2) or norm(X.*.A - B, 2).

Examples

Simple example with low and crossed dimensions:

A = 0:3
B = [1 10 100]'
P = A .*. B
--> A = 0:3
 A  =
   0.   1.   2.   3.

--> B = [1 10 100]'
 B  =
   1.
   10.
   100.

--> P = A .*. B
 P  =
   0.   1.     2.     3.
   0.   10.    20.    30.
   0.   100.   200.   300.

--> P ./. B
 ans  =
   0.   1.   2.   3.

--> A .\. P
 ans  =
   1.
   10.
   100.

Still with some low dimensions, and with noisy data:

A = 1:3
B = 0:4
P = A .*. B
P ./. B
A .\. P

// Let's add some additive noise, and process noisy data:
P = P + grand(P, "unf", -0.3, 0.3)
P ./. B
A .\. P
--> A = 1:3
 A  =
   1.   2.   3.

--> B = 0:4
 B  =
   0.   1.   2.   3.   4.

--> P = A .*. B
 P  =
   0.  1.  2.  3.  4.  0.  2.  4.  6.  8.  0.  3.  6.  9.  12.

--> P ./. B
 ans  =
   1.   2.   3.

--> A .\. P
 ans  =
   0.   1.   2.   3.   4.


--> // Let's add some additive noise, and process noisy data:
--> P = P + grand(P, "unf", -0.3, 0.3)
