def apply_along_axis(func1d,axis,arr,*args):
    """
    Apply a function to 1-D slices along the given axis.

    Execute `func1d(a, *args)` where `func1d` operates on 1-D arrays and `a`
    is a 1-D slice of `arr` along `axis`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    func1d : function
        This function should accept 1-D arrays. It is applied to 1-D
        slices of `arr` along the specified axis.
    axis : integer
        Axis along which `arr` is sliced.
    arr : ndarray
        Input array.
    args : any
        Additional arguments to `func1d`.

    Returns
    -------
    apply_along_axis : ndarray
        The output array. The shape of `outarr` is identical to the shape of
        `arr`, except along the `axis` dimension, where the length of `outarr`
        is equal to the size of the return value of `func1d`.  If `func1d`
        returns a scalar `outarr` will have one fewer dimensions than `arr`.

def apply_over_axes(func, a, axes):

    Apply a function repeatedly over multiple axes.

    `func` is called as `res = func(a, axis)`, where `axis` is the first

    either the same dimensions as `a` or one less dimension.  If `res`
    has one less dimension than `a`, a dimension is inserted before
    `axis`.  The call to `func` is then repeated for each axis in `axes`,
    with `res` as the first argument.

    Parameters
    ----------
    func : function
        This function must take two arguments, `func(a, axis)`.
    a : array_like

def kron(a,b):

    Kronecker product of two arrays.

    Computes the Kronecker product, a composite array made of blocks of the
    second array scaled by the first.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a, b : array_like

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray

    See Also
    --------

    outer : The outer product

    Notes
    -----

    The function assumes that the number of dimenensions of `a` and `b`
    are the same, if necessary prepending the smallest with ones.
    If `a.shape = (r0,r1,..,rN)` and `b.shape = (s0,s1,...,sN)`,
    the Kronecker product has shape `(r0*s0, r1*s1, ..., rN*SN)`.
    The elements are products of elements from `a` and `b`, organized
    explicitly by::

        kron(a,b)[k0,k1,...,kN] = a[i0,i1,...,iN] * b[j0,j1,...,jN]

    where::

        kt = it * st + jt,  t = 0,...,N

    In the common 2-D case (N=1), the block structure can be visualized::

        [[ a[0,0]*b,   a[0,1]*b,  ... , a[0,-1]*b  ],

def tile(A, reps):
    """
    Construct an array by repeating A the number of times given by reps.

    If `reps` has length ``d``, the result will have dimension of
    ``max(d, A.ndim)``.

    If ``A.ndim < d``, `A` is promoted to be d-dimensional by prepending new
    axes. So a shape (3,) array is promoted to (1, 3) for 2-D replication,
    or shape (1, 1, 3) for 3-D replication. If this is not the desired
    behavior, promote `A` to d-dimensions manually before calling this
    function.

    If ``A.ndim > d``, `reps` is promoted to `A`.ndim by pre-pending 1's to it.
    Thus for an `A` of shape (2, 3, 4, 5), a `reps` of (2, 2) is treated as
    (1, 1, 2, 2).

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : array_like
        The input array.
    reps : array_like
        The number of repetitions of `A` along each axis.
