ffplay multiple input files Updated 2025-07-16
For synthesized streams like sine we can do it e.g.
ffplay -autoexit -nodisp -f lavfi -i '
sine=frequency=500[a];
sine=frequency=1000[b];
[a][b]amerge, atrim=end=2
'
but it does not seem to accept multiple -i for some reason. So is there a way to open a file from some filter? E.g.:
ffplay -i tmp.wav -i tmp.mkv -filter_complex "[0:a]atrim=end=2[a];[1:v]trim=end=2[v]" -map '[a]' -map '[v]'
fails with:
Argument 'tmp.mkv' provided as input filename, but 'tmp.wav' was already specified.
Matrix exponential Updated 2025-07-16
Is the solution to a system of linear ordinary differential equations, the exponential function is just a 1-dimensional subcase.
Note that more generally, the matrix exponential can be defined on any ring.
The matrix exponential is of particular interest in the study of Lie groups, because in the case of the Lie algebra of a matrix Lie group, it provides the correct exponential map.

A linear map is a (1,1) tensor Updated 2025-07-16
A linear map can be seen as a (1,1) tensor because:
is a number, . is a dual vector, and W is a vector. Furthermoe, is linear in both and . All of this makes fullfill the definition of a (1,1) tensor.
