class saiunit.linalg.vdot(a, b, *, precision=None, preferred_element_type=None, **kwargs)#

Perform a conjugate multiplication of two 1D vectors.

Flattens both inputs and computes the dot product of the conjugate of a with b. The resulting unit is a.unit * b.unit.

Parameters:

  • a (Array | ndarray | bool | number | bool | int | float | complex | saiunit.Quantity) – First argument.

  • b (Array | ndarray | bool | number | bool | int | float | complex | saiunit.Quantity) – Second argument.

  • precision (Any) – Either None (default) or a Precision enum value, or a tuple of two such values for a and b.

  • preferred_element_type (str | type[Any] | dtype | SupportsDType | None) – Accumulation and result dtype.

Returns:

output – The conjugate dot product of the inputs. The resulting unit is a.unit * b.unit.

Return type:

Array | saiunit.Quantity

Examples

>>> import saiunit as u
>>> a = u.math.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0]) * u.meter
>>> b = u.math.array([4.0, 5.0, 6.0]) * u.second
>>> u.math.vdot(a, b)  # scalar Quantity with unit meter * second
