一种方法是初始化4D的输出数组，然后从A向其赋值。这样的任务会传播价值观，而这正是我们在NumPy中获得效率的地方。在
因此，解决方案应该是这样的-# Get shape of A
m,n = A.shape
# Initialize output array as 4D
out = np.zeros((m,N,n,N))
# Get range array for indexing into the second and fourth axes
r = np.arange(N)
# Index into the second and fourth axes and selecting all elements along
# the rest to assign values from A. The values are broadcasted.
out[:,r,:,r] = A
# Finally reshape back to 2D
out.shape = (m*N,n*N)
作为函数-
^{pr2}$
要模拟np.kron(np.eye(N), A)，只需沿着第一个和第二个轴交换操作，对于第三个和第四个轴-def kron_N_A(A, N): # Simulates np.kron(np.eye(N), A)
m,n = A.shape
out = np.zeros((N,m,N,n),dtype=A.dtype)
r = np.arange(N)
out[r,:,r,:] = A
out.shape = (m*N,n*N)
return out
时间安排-In [174]: N = 100
...: A = np.random.rand(100,100)
...:
