Thanks Steve for your response,

What if the matrix operates on a vector,
aone1=aone[{Tan[x],1}];
VectorQ[aone1]

Output:
False

Actually when the matrix aone operates on a 2*1 vector, it should give me 
another 2*1 vector,--I then want to multiply this new vector to another row 
vector to give me back a matrix. Is this possible

Thanks again,

Pratik
