calculating trace of matrix without calculating the matrix itself

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Let's say I have this matrix
tmp = magic(10);
and then I have
vecx= [1,2]
vecy=[3,4]
If I write tmp(vecx,vecy) it generates the matrix of
A= [tmp(1,3), tmp(1,4); tmp(2,3), tmp(2,4)]
but what I want to get is
B=[tmp(1,3), tmp(2,4)].
I understand B= trace(A), but the problem is in my actually code, I can't calculate A, because it is too large and I go out of memory.
How can I calculate B without explicitly calculating A?
Thanks,

We can't answer unless we know what A is and how it is currently calculated. Until we know that, how can we possibly tell you how to calculate only the trace elements of it?

Let tmp be an n by n matrix.
B = tmp(vecx+n*(vecy-1)).';
(Note: The ‘trace’ is the sum of the diagonal elements of A, not their vector.)

The above is pretty much the internal formula used by sub2ind, but calling sub2ind() specifically can be easier to read and understand (but direct calculation can sometimes be much faster.)
