Abstract

Much of the algebra that is associated with the Kronecker product of matrices has been rendered in the conventional notation of matrix algebra, which conceals the essential structures of the objects of the analysis. This makes it difficult to establish even the most salient of the results. The problems can be greatly alleviated by adopting an orderly index notation that reveals these structures. This claim is demonstrated by considering a problem that several authors have already addressed without producing a widely accepted solution.
