Hi Oliver,
does
In[1]:=Do[v[i] = {x[i], y[i]}; m[i] = {{m11[i], m12[i]}, {m21[i], m22[i]}},
{i, 3}]
expr = Total[(m[#1] . v[#1] & ) /@ {1, 2, 3}]
Out[2]=
{m11[1]*x[1] + m11[2]*x[2] + m11[3]*x[3] + m12[1]*y[1] + m12[2]*y[2] +
m12[3]*y[3],
m21[1]*x[1] + m21[2]*x[2] + m21[3]*x[3] + m22[1]*y[1] + m22[2]*y[2] +
m22[3]*y[3]}
In[3]:= Transpose[(Coefficient[expr, #1] & ) /@ v[1]]
Out[3]=
{{m11[1], m12[1]}, {m21[1], m22[1]}}
In[4]:= % == m[1]
Out[4]= True
solve your Problem?
