Returns the cross product of 3-element vectors.
If x1
and/or x2
are multi-dimensional arrays, then the cross-product of each pair of corresponding 3-element vectors is independently computed.
This function is Array API compatible, contrary to numpy.cross
.
The first input array.
The second input array. Must be compatible with x1
for all non-compute axes. The size of the axis over which to compute the cross-product must be the same size as the respective axis in x1
.
The axis (dimension) of x1
and x2
containing the vectors for which to compute the cross-product. Default: -1
.
An array containing the cross products.
Examples
Vector cross-product.
>>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3]) >>> y = np.array([4, 5, 6]) >>> np.linalg.cross(x, y) array([-3, 6, -3])
Multiple vector cross-products. Note that the direction of the cross product vector is defined by the right-hand rule.
>>> x = np.array([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]]) >>> y = np.array([[4,5,6], [1,2,3]]) >>> np.linalg.cross(x, y) array([[-3, 6, -3], [ 3, -6, 3]])
>>> x = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]) >>> y = np.array([[4, 5], [6, 1], [2, 3]]) >>> np.linalg.cross(x, y, axis=0) array([[-24, 6], [ 18, 24], [-6, -18]])
