Error using Eigen: Perform element-wise multiplication between a vector and matrix

Time:07-07

I am trying to perform an element-wise multiplication of a row vector with matrix. In MATLAB this would be simply done by the "dot" operator or:

  deriv  = 1i * k .* fk;

where k is row vector and fk is a matrix. Now in C I have this code:

static const int nx = 10;
static const int ny = 10; 
static const int nyk = ny/2   1;
static const int nxk = nx/2   1;
static const int ncomp = 2;

Matrix <double, 1, nx> eK; 
eK.setZero();

for(int i = 0; i < nx; i  ){
            eK[i] = //some expression
    }
fftw_complex *UOut; 
    UOut= (fftw_complex*) fftw_malloc((((nx)*(ny 1))*nyk)* sizeof(fftw_complex));

for (int i = 0; i < nx; i  ){
        for (int j = 0; j < ny 1; j  ){ 
            for (int k = 0; k < ncomp; k  ){
                UOut[i*(ny 1) j][k] = //FFT of some expression 
            }
        }
    }

Eigen::Map<Eigen::MatrixXcd, Eigen::Unaligned> U(reinterpret_cast<std::complex<double>*>(UOut),(ny 1),nx); 

Now, I am trying to take the product of eK which is a row vector of 1 x 10 and the matrix U of a 11 x 10. I tried few things, none of which seem to work really:

U = 1i * eKX.array() * euhX.array() ; //ERROR
static assertion failed: YOU_MIXED_MATRICES_OF_DIFFERENT_SIZES

CodePudding user response:

Eigen doesn't do broadcasting the same way Matlab or Numpy do unless you explicitely ask for it, for example with matrix.array().rowwise() * vector.array()

The IMHO clearer form is to interpret the vector as a diagonal matrix.

Eigen::VectorXd eK = ...;
Eigen::Map<Eigen::MatrixXcd, Eigen::Unaligned> U = ...;

Eigen::MatrixXcd result = U * (eK * 1i).asDiagonal();
