hypermat

initialize an N dimensional matrices

Calling Sequence

M=hypermat(dims [,v])

Arguments

:dims vector of hypermatrix dimensions : :v vector of hypermatrix entries (default value

zeros(prod(dims),1))

:

Description

Initialize a hypermatrix whose dimensions are given in the vector dims and entries are given in optional argument v

M data structure contains the vector of matrix dimensions M(‘dims’) and the vector of entries M(‘entries’) such as the leftmost subcripts vary first [M(1,1,..);..;M(n1,1,..);...;M(1,n2,..);..;M(n1,n2,..);...]

Warning: If you build your own hypermat, you must be careful. The M(‘dims’) entry must be a row vector whereas the M(‘entries’) must be a column vector.

Examples

M = hypermat([2 3 2 2],1:24)
`disp`_(`size`_(M('dims')))
`disp`_(`size`_(M('entries')))

M_own            = `mlist`_(['hm','dims','entries']);
M_own('dims')    = [2 3 2 2];
M_own('entries') = [1:24]';
`disp`_(`size`_(M_own('dims')))
`disp`_(`size`_(M_own('entries')))
