What is the correct terminology to name the following matrix, that contains arrays as elements?
I would call it as a matrix of arrays or a matrix of vectors, but I am not sure. Other names?
Just to add some further information:
- $a_{ijk}=f_k(P_i,Q_j)$, i.e. the elements of the matrix $A$ are real numbers that result from $k=1,...,K$ different functions that act on a pair of probability distributions, $P_i$ and $Q_j$.
- $(a_{ijk})_{i\ne j}\ge0$, i.e. non-negative off-diagonal elements
- $a_{iik}=a_{jjk}=0$, i.e. diagonal elements equal to zero
- $a_{ijk}=a_{jik}$, i.e. symmetry between $i$ and $j$ elements, for each $k$-function
Just for information, this is the generating Latex code:
A=(a_{ijk})=
\left|
\begin{array}{c@{}c@{}c}
\left|\begin{array}{c}
0 \\
0 \\
0 \\
\vdots \\
0 \\
\end{array}\right|
& \left|\begin{array}{c}
a_{121} \\
a_{122} \\
a_{123} \\
\vdots \\
a_{12K} \\
\end{array}\right|
& \left|\begin{array}{c}
a_{131} \\
a_{132} \\
a_{133} \\
\vdots \\
a_{13K} \\
\end{array}\right|\\
\left|\begin{array}{c}
a_{211} \\
a_{212} \\
a_{213} \\
\vdots \\
a_{21K} \\
\end{array}\right|
&
\left|\begin{array}{c}
0 \\
0 \\
0 \\
\vdots \\
0 \\
\end{array}\right|
& \left|\begin{array}{c}
a_{231} \\
a_{232} \\
a_{233} \\
\vdots \\
a_{23K} \\
\end{array}\right|\\
\left|\begin{array}{c}
a_{311} \\
a_{312} \\
a_{313} \\
\vdots \\
a_{31K} \\
\end{array}\right|
& \left|\begin{array}{c}
a_{321} \\
a_{322} \\
a_{323} \\
\vdots \\
a_{32K} \\
\end{array}\right|
&
\left|\begin{array}{c}
0 \\
0 \\
0 \\
\vdots \\
0 \\
\end{array}\right|
\\
\end{array}\right|
