Problem 498. Find the Kronecker Tensor Product without using KRON

Created by Bruce Raine

Solve Later

The Kronecker Tensor Product is the result of multiplying all elements of a matrix with each of the elements of another matrix. The result is a large matrix bigger than either input matrix.

If X is m-by-n and Y is p-by-q, then mykron(X,Y) is m*p-by-n*q.

NOTE: n does not need to equal p as with normal matrix multiplication.

EX:

>> a=1:3;

>> b=2:4;

>> mykron(a,b)

ans = 2 3 4 4 6 8 6 9 12

the second test case misspelled assert and is missing a close parenthesis

Thanks, I have made the corrections.

To address the term: "without using KRON", may you please add this (or something similar) to the test suite: % Test for kron usage fid = fopen(which(), 'r'); c = onCleanup(@()fclose(fid)); tline = fgetl(fid); while ischar(tline), if strfind(tline,'kron'), error('Don''t use kron'); end tline = fgetl(fid); end ... This should work fine after you've renamed your function and iserted it in .

Thanks, I applied your suggestion but with some syntactical changes. Code is fully tested now so 'kron' answers disallowed.
