Compute the inverse of x.
- Usage
mul(x, y)- Result
- If both arguments x and y are vectors, the tensor (or dyadic) product of the vectors is computed and the result r is a matrix with
nrow(x)rows andnrow(y)columns.ri,j = xi * yj
- For all other combinations of data types, the operator * is applied to x and y and the product
x*yis returned. If the multiplication is not possible (invalid combination of data types), the functionmulfailes.
