[Numpy-discussion] Array of matrices - Inverse and dot

[Jean-Baptiste Rudant]

Hello,

I would like to operate in an easy and efficient way (without python loop) with arrays of matrices.

Suppose a and b are some arrays of N1*N2 matrices of size 3*3, I would like to calculate  inv_a and dot_ab, which would be arrays of N1*N2  (3*3)-matrices, such as :

inv_a[i, j] = np.linalg.inv(a[i, j])
dot_ab[i, j] = np.dot(a[i, j], b[i, j])

(where a and b could be  :
N1 = 5
N2 = 6
a = np.random((N1, N2, 3, 3)
b = np.random((N1, N2, 3, 3)
).

Thank you,

(Sorry to ask the list : I think it is quite a basic stuff, but searching for "array of matrices" on google didn't help me so much.)
