Nevertheless, it is not hard to show that in the particular case that each matrix is a square matrix of order of the form $n^2$, $n>1$, and is partitioned into $n^2$ square blocks of order $n$, then their Tracy-Singh product, $A \\boxtimes B$, is similar to $A \\otimes B$, and the change of basis matrix is a permutation matrix. In this note, we prove that in the special case of linear operators induced from set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, the Tracy-Singh product of their representing matrices is the representing matrix of the linear operator obtained from the direct product of the set-theoretic solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-02T11:42:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tracy-singh product", "linear operator", "matrices represents", "representing matrix", "set-theoretic solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
