MATLAB: How to take one matrix, divide by another, to make a bunch of new matrices with the dimension of the original matrix, but each scaled by each element of the second matrix

matrix divisionscalar division

Hello!

I have a question. I have a matrix, 91 by 93, and i want to divide each element of the matrix by a scalar. However, I have a large amount of scalars in an array, and I want to create many 91 by 93 matrices each scaled by each element in the array. How would I do this quickly and simpy without having to single out each value in the array and dividing it? Also, would it be possible to store all these 91 by 93 matrices in a single matrix/variable?

If I am not clear please comment to let me know

Thanks!

 Wanted = matrix ./ reshape(scalar, 1, 1, []) % use bsxfun() for older versions for dividing

After you create z as above, then a simple loop can calculate the inverse over the third dimension:

>> invz = zeros(2,2,100000);
>> for zi = 1:100000,
>>     invz(:,:,zi)=inv(z(:,:,zi));
>> end

Don't neglect the preallocation of memory in that first line.

I feel like there may be a may to do all the inverse in one fell swoop (with accumarray?), but it's not coming to me. The loop above only takes a couple seconds on my machine.

Try this:

M = rand(49);                                       % Original Matrix
[rv,cv] = ndgrid(1:size(M,1), 1:size(M,2));         % Create Index Vectors For ‘M’
figure
scatter3(rv(:), cv(:), M(:))                        % 3D Scatter Plot Using ‘scatter3’
