Talk:Dyadic product

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the tensor product of a row vector \mathbf{v} with a column vector \mathbf{u} still called a dyadic product? For example:

\mathbf{v} \otimes \mathbf{u}  =  \begin{bmatrix} v_1 & v_2 & v_3 \end{bmatrix}  \otimes  \begin{bmatrix}  u_1 \\  u_2 \\  u_3 \end{bmatrix}  =  \begin{bmatrix}  v_1u_1 & v_2u_1 & v_3u_1 \\  v_1u_2 & v_2u_2 & v_3u_2 \\  v_1u_3 & v_2u_3 & v_3u_3  \end{bmatrix}

The indices in the definitions would have to be swapped in that case. --RainerBlome 21:28, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
