Indeed, what wikipedia calls the "physics convention" [1] of both the vector dot product <x,y> = x† y and vector matrix product x† A († = transpose-conjugate). -- Marten [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesquilinear_form _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/numpy-discussion.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
