How Can I replace the following for loop by vectorization?

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi Guys,
I have a set of large sparse matrices:
W ,size=(1,10,m)
V ,size=(10,1,m)
Y ,size=(10,10,n)
and I need the output matrix P as follow:
P(i,j)=W(:,:,i)*Y(:,:,j)*V(:,:,i)
e.g if m=2 & n=3
P=[
W(:,:,1)*Y(:,:,1)*V(:,:,1) W(:,:,1)*Y(:,:,2)*V(:,:,1);
W(:,:,1)*Y(:,:,2)*V(:,:,1) W(:,:,2)*Y(:,:,2)*V(:,:,2);
W(:,:,1)*Y(:,:,3)*V(:,:,1) W(:,:,2)*Y(:,:,3)*V(:,:,2)
]
I want to see if you have any suggestion how to write this by a single line code. I have written the code with "two for loop" but because of the large size of matrices, it is almost slow. Any faster idea is really appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Alireza

Please post your code and typical input data. It matters if m=1e3 and n=1e7 or the other way around. Perhaps your code is slow due to a forgotten pre-allocation.
What does "sparse" mean? Do the arrays contain a lot of zeros or do you sue the type sparse, which does not work for 3D-arrays?

Actually, the size of matrices may be very large depend on the size of my problem, even 3000, and matrix Y is a sparse matrix, anyway we can ignore it now. As a simple example:
W(1,:)=[5 3 1];
W(2,:)=[0 1 4];
V(:,1)=[1;8;2];
V(:,2)=[6;4;7];
Y(:,:,1)=[3 1 5 ; 2 1 2 ; 0 3 1];
Y(:,:,2)=[5 0 2 ; 8 1 0 ; 2 3 7];
Y(:,:,3)=[7 0 4 ; 1 3 5 ; 7 2 0];
for i=1:2
for j=1:3
P(i,j) = ( ( (W(i,:))*Y(:,:,j)*V(:,i) ) );
end
end

Here's a single line code, but I'm not sure it's faster than, or even as fast as, your two nested for-loop solution:
Corrected:
P = (reshape(repmat(W,10,1,1).*repmat(V,1,10,1),[],m)).*reshape(permute(Y,[2,1,3]),[],n);

I'm glad to hear it. I was afraid it would be too slow. Sorry about the earlier error.
