Application of Matrices
Subhash khalkho, Sanjeev Kumar · 2014
This paper represent an approach to basic arithmetic between abstract matrices, i.e., matrices of symbolic dimension with underspecified components. We define a simple basis function that enables the representation of abstract matrices composed of arbitrary regions in a single term that supports matrix addition and multiplication by regular arithmetic on terms. This can, in particular, be exploited to obtain general arithmetic closure properties for classes of structured matrices. We also describe an approach using alternative basis functions that allow more compact expressions.
