First use map that will operate on the list, one item at a time (or make its
Attributes Listable).
That is,
aone2 = aone /@ {Tan[x], 1};
Second, since this is a matrix of operators, you get a matrix of results for
EACH item.
If you check the help on VectorQ
?VectorQ
You get
VectorQ[expr] gives True if expr is a list or a one-dimensional SparseArray
object, none of whose elements are themselves lists, and gives False
otherwise. VectorQ[expr, test] gives True only if test yields True when
applied to each of the elements in expr.
But Dimensions[one1] returns
{2,2}
and Dimensions[aone2] returns {2,2,2}

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
