Assigning a submatrix to an existing matrix - deSitter - 12-19-2023 10:17 AM
Hello Prime numbers,
How do I say put a 2x2 matrix into an existing 4x4 matrix? Say I want to overwrite the elements in rows 1,2 and columns 3,4 with a 2x2 matrix - can I do this by direct assignment? Thanks in advance.
Many more questions coming, hope this isn't spam.
While I'm here - is there an outer product function? e.g. if you have a 2x3 array and a 3x4 array you create a 2x3x3x4 4-d array from a pair of 2-d arrays. I am working on an iterative construction of all Clifford algebras. Simple example is outer product of 2 vectors U_i, V_j then
(U outer V)_ij = U_i V*_j
where * = complex conjugate. Thanks.

4x4 matrix:
mt1:=[[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12],[13,14,15,16]]
2x2 matrix:
mt2:=[[−1,−2],[−3,−4]]
REPLACE(mt1,{1,3},mt2)
and you will get:
Code:
[[ 1, 2,−1,−2],
[ 5, 6,−3,−4],
[ 9,10,11,12],
[13,14,15,16]]Piotr

Thanks, close enough
