Outer Product (G Dataflow)

Computes the outer product of two vectors.

vector x

The first input vector.

This input accepts a 1D array of double-precision, floating point numbers or 1D array of complex double-precision, floating point numbers.

vector y

The second input vector.

This input accepts a 1D array of double-precision, floating point numbers or 1D array of complex double-precision, floating point numbers.

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs. The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Default: No error

outer product

The outer product.

If one of the input vectors is an empty array, outer product is an empty array.

error out

Error information. The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Algorithm for Calculating the Outer Product

This node calculates the output outer product using the following equation.

$\begin{array}{cc}{a}_{ij}={x}_{i}{y}_{j}& \text{for}\left\{\begin{array}{c}i=0,1,2,...,n-1\\ j=0,1,2,...,m-1\end{array}\end{array}$

where

• x is the input sequence vector x
• y is the input sequence vector y
• a is the 2D output sequence outer product
• n is the number of elements in the input sequence vector x
• m is the number of elements in the input sequence vector y
