Is there any function that extends to multidimentional arrays the
functionalities of "row" and "col" which are just defined for matrices?
Thanks, Enrico Bibbona

Not as far as I know, but there are a lot of functions in packages.

You could write your own something like this.  I've skipped any error
checking; you'll want to add that.

indices <- function(a, which) {
   d <- dim(a)
   prod_before <- prod(d[seq_len(which-1)])
   result <- rep(seq_len(d[which]), each=prod_before,  length.out = prod(d))
   dim(result) <- d
   result
}

Then indices(a, 1) gives an array of the same shape as a where entry i, j,
k, ... is i, indices(a, 2) has entry i,j,k, ... equal to j, etc.
