Make this matrix multiplication more efficient

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I would like to do the following matrix multiplication much efficiently:
m=1000;n=500;
a=zeros(n,1);
b=rand(n,1);
A=rand(m,n);
B=rand(m,m);
for i=1:n
a(i)=b'*(A'*B(i,:)'*B(i,:)*A)*b;
end
Thanks in advance

a = (B(1:n,:)*(A*b)).^2;
You dimensions for B look a little strange to me, since your calculations do not use all of the rows of B (hence the B(1:n,:) reduction above).

Yes, the dimensions were wrong. Thank you, it is much more efficient.

Hi Ignacio,
The code below reduces the time from 2.6 secs to 0.06 secs on my machine:
m = 1000; n = 500;
a = zeros(n,1);
b = rand(n,1);
A = rand(m,n);
B = rand(m,m);
for i=1:n
temp =(B(i,:)*A)*b;
a(i) = temp'*temp;
end
Hope this helps.
