$$ \bigotimes_{i=1}^n A_i $$

where $ A_i $ is a $ m \times m $ matrix.

I want to do above operation, however KroneckerProduct in Mathematica must list all $ A_i $s I need to use.

I have a function $ A_i $ where $ i\in \mathbb{Z} $, and I want to write a program which doesn't depend on specific $ n $. I know I can write a recursion, but I want to know whether there is more clever method.

    $\begingroup$ Something like KroneckerProduct @@ Table[A[i], {i, n}]? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ also Array[A, {n}, 1, KroneckerProduct]? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @kglr {n} can be just n here. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ 
kP[a_, n_Integer] := Array[a, n, 1, KroneckerProduct]
kP[a_, 1] := a[1]

kP[A, 5]

KroneckerProduct[A[1], A[2], A[3], A[4], A[5]]

    $\begingroup$ Note, that for $n=1$ a special case is required or Unprotect@KroneckerProduct; KroneckerProduct[m_] := m. $\endgroup$
