mat_mul_rect
Computes the transpose of a matrix, a matrix-vector product, a matrix-matrix product, the bilinear form, or any triple product.
Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
float *imsl_f_mat_mul_rect (char *string, …, 0)
The type double procedure is imsl_d_mat_mul_rect.
Required Arguments
char *string (Input)
String indicating matrix multiplication to be performed.
Return Value
The result of the multiplication. This is always a pointer to a float, even if the result is a single number. To release this space, use imsl_free. If no answer was computed, then NULL is returned.

Description
This function computes a matrix-vector product, a matrix-matrix product, a bilinear form of a matrix, or a triple product according to the specification given by string. For example, if “A × x” is given, Ax is computed. In string, the matrices A and B and the vectors x and y can be used. Any of these four names can be used with trans, indicating transpose. The vectors x and y are treated as n × 1 matrices.
If string contains only one item, such as “x” or “trans(A)”, then a copy of the array, or its transpose, is returned. If string contains one multiplication, such as “A × x” or “B × A”, then the indicated product is returned. Some other legal values for string are “trans(y) × A”, “A × trans(B)”, “x × trans(y)”, or “trans(x) × y”.
The matrices and/or vectors referred to in string must be given as optional arguments. If string is “B × x”, then IMSL_B_MATRIX and IMSL_X_VECTOR must be given.
Example
The arrays AT, Ax, xTAT, AB, BTAT, xTy, xyT, and xTAy are computed and printed.
