Abstract

A new matrix product, called the second semi-tensor product (STP-II) of matrices is proposed. It is similar to the classical semi-tensor product (STP-I). First, its fundamental properties are presented. Then, the equivalence relation caused by STP-II is obtained. Using this equivalence, a quotient space is also obtained. Finally, the vector space structure, the metric and the metric topology, the projection and subspaces, etc. of the quotient space are investigated in detail.
