Partitioned Matrix
Definition
A Partitioned Matrix (or Block Matrix) is the general mathematical structure used prominently in the context of Multiregional Input-Output Model. It divides n industries in the Input-Output Model into subgroups.
Usage
A partioned matrix may group specific sectors within an economy or represent a sector-country decomposition in a Multiregional Input-Output Model. An MRIO model extends the standard IO matrix to a larger system where each industry in each country has a separate row and column.[1]
If a matrix is partitioned into four blocks, it can be inverted blockwise (Schur Complement)
Tensor Representation
An N-th order tensor is an element of the tensor product of N vector spaces, each of which has its own coordinate system. Slices are two-dimensional sections of a tensor, defined by fixing all but two indices.
Matricization (also known as unfolding or Mode-k flattening) is the process of reordering the elements of an N-th order array into a matrix.
