Kronecker products

[Gaston_N_]

Hi all!

I'm trying to find an efficient way to compute Kronecker products (of matrices) using Intel Fortran MKL. I was hoping to find a routine that directly does the Kronecker product, but couldn't find it yet it for me. Does such a routine exists?

Alternatively, is there an obvious/efficient way to use other routines in order to get Kronecker products?

Thanks!

Hi Gennady,

Thanks for your reply and for the suggested thread. I went over that post, but it doesn't really have an answer. I guess there is no built-in function to compute Kronecker product?

Thanks!

Hi Gaston. Yes, that's right. MKL doesn't support such functionality. thanks.

Gennady,
Could you consider adding Kron to MKL?
Also something like MATLAB's speye(), spdiag() and eye() would be great.
