I would like to define a doubly indexed sum. Below is what I did:
V=list(var(','.join(['a_%d%d' % (i,n) for i in [0..5] for n in [0..5]])))
sum(a_in*binomial(5,i)*binomial(5,n) for i in [0..5] for n in [0..5])
I get the global name 'a_' is not defined error. I tried this when there is only one index and it works, but doesnt seem to work for double index. Can anyone help me with this?
You cannot use directly a_in but must first go through a string "a_{}{}".format(i,n) to generate the variable name and then use the function eval to get the symbolic variable:
sum(eval("a_{}{}".format(i,n))*binomial(5,i)*binomial(5,n) for i in [0..5] for n in [0..5])
An alternative is to create the symbolic variables a_* in a 2-dimensional array and to access them as a[i][n] (thereby avoiding the use of eval):
a = [[var("a_{}{}".format(i,n)) for n in [0..5]] for i in [0..5]]
sum(a[i][n]*binomial(5,i)*binomial(5,n) for i in [0..5] for n in [0..5])
