dot(a, b, out=None)

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

Dot product of two arrays. Specifically,

Parameters

a : array_like

First argument.

b : array_like

Second argument.

out : ndarray, optional

Output argument. This must have the exact kind that would be returned if it was not used. In particular, it must have the right type, must be C-contiguous, and its dtype must be the dtype that would be returned for :None:None:`dot(a,b)`. This is a performance feature. Therefore, if these conditions are not met, an exception is raised, instead of attempting to be flexible.

Raises

ValueError

If the last dimension of a is not the same size as the second-to-last dimension of b.

Returns

output : ndarray

Returns the dot product of a and b. If a and b are both scalars or both 1-D arrays then a scalar is returned; otherwise an array is returned. If :None:None:`out` is given, then it is returned.

einsum

Einstein summation convention.

linalg.multi_dot

Chained dot product.

matmul

'@' operator as method with out parameter.

Sum products over arbitrary axes.

vdot

Complex-conjugating dot product.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> np.dot(3, 4)  # doctest: +SKIP
12

Neither argument is complex-conjugated:

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> np.dot([2j, 3j], [2j, 3j])  # doctest: +SKIP
(-13+0j)

For 2-D arrays it is the matrix product:

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> a = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]  # doctest: +SKIP
... b = [[4, 1], [2, 2]] # doctest: +SKIP
... np.dot(a, b) # doctest: +SKIP array([[4, 1], [2, 2]])
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> a = np.arange(3*4*5*6).reshape((3,4,5,6))  # doctest: +SKIP
... b = np.arange(3*4*5*6)[::-1].reshape((5,4,6,3)) # doctest: +SKIP
... np.dot(a, b)[2,3,2,1,2,2] # doctest: +SKIP 499128
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> sum(a[2,3,2,:] * b[1,2,:,2])  # doctest: +SKIP
499128

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
