Common array and matrix operators include:
 * apostrophe (`'`) for [[LinearAlgebra/Transposition|transposition]]
For the most part, prefixing an operator with a dot (`.`) causes element-wise operation. For example:
Line 22: Line 21:
Matrix division has two notable forms:
 * `/` corresponds to the function `mrdivide()`
   * The problem `xA = B` is solved using `x = B/A`.
 * `\` corresponds to the function `mldivide()`
   * The problem `Ax = b` is solved using `x = A\b`.
   * ...or equivalently, `x = inv(A) * b`.

Note that the [[LinearAlgebra/Transposition|transposition]] operator `'` gives the [[LinearAlgebra/HermitianTranspose|Hermitian transpose]], while the transposition operator `.'` gives the ''non-conjugate'' transpose. Lastly, note that the function `transpose()` matches `.'`.

MATLAB Operators

These are the operators supported by MATLAB.


Description

Most operators work as expected.

For the most part, prefixing an operator with a dot (.) causes element-wise operation. For example:

  • .* for element-wise multiplication

  • ./ for element-wise right division

  • .\ for element-wise left division

  • .^ for element-wise power

Matrix division has two notable forms:

  • / corresponds to the function mrdivide()

    • The problem xA = B is solved using x = B/A.

  • \ corresponds to the function mldivide()

    • The problem Ax = b is solved using x = A\b.

    • ...or equivalently, x = inv(A) * b.

Note that the transposition operator ' gives the Hermitian transpose, while the transposition operator .' gives the non-conjugate transpose. Lastly, note that the function transpose() matches .'.
