SymbolicIdentityArray
SymbolicIdentityArray[{n1,n2,…}]
represents an n1×n2×…×n1×n2×… array with elements ai1,i2,…,j1,j2,… equal to 1 if all ikjk, and 0 otherwise.
Details
![](Files/SymbolicIdentityArray.en/details_1.png)
- Valid dimension specifications ni in SymbolicIdentityArray[{n1,n2,…}] are positive integers. It is also possible to work with symbolic dimension specifications.
- SymbolicIdentityArray may be produced by differentiation involving ArraySymbol objects.
- For an array a=SymbolicIdentityArray[{n1,n2,…}] with positive integer dimension specifications ni, Normal[a] converts a to an explicit array. SparseArray[a] converts a to a SparseArray.
