> I am trying to do an element-by-element computation in mata but am not sure if it is possible. Given a matrix Z with elements z[I,j], what I would like to do is transform the elements of Z using scalars a and b to create a new matrix W as follows:

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
