3d Numpy Array Into Block Diagonal Matrix

I am looking for a way to convert a nXaXb numpy array into a block diagonal matrix. I have already came across scipy.linalg.block_diag, the down side of which (for my case) is it r

Solution 1:

Try using block_diag(*a). See example below:

In [9]: paste
import numpy as np
a = np.random.rand(3,2,2)
from scipy.linalg import block_diag
b = block_diag(a[0], a[1],a[2])

c = block_diag(*a)
b == c

## -- End pasted text --
Out[9]:
array([[ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True]], dtype=bool)
