[R] vector math problem

[Bill Simpson]

I am trying to get a persp plot of a surface that is a function of v0 and
v1.

The surface height at (v0,v1) is
sqrt(sum((s1[i][j]-s0[i][j])^2))
where
s1[i][j] = a*sin(2*pi*freq*x[i]+v1*y[j])
s0[i][j] = a*sin(2*pi*freq*x[i]+v0*y[j])

I am having a hard time with the vector multiplication. This is what I
have so far:

v0 <- seq(-7,7,1)*.1
v1 <- v0
x <- seq(0,2*pi,.1)
y <- x
f <- function(v0,v1)
	{
	a<-2
	freq<-1
	s1<-a*sin(2*pi*freq*x+v1*y) ##wrong
	s0<-a*sin(2*pi*freq*x+v0*y) ##wrong
	sqrt(sum((s1-s0)^2))
	}
z <- outer(v0,v1,f)
z[is.na(z)] <- 1
persp(v0, v1, z, theta=30, phi=30)

The lines marked ##wrong are wrong because the dimensions of x[] and y[]
are not necessarily the same. In C one would do

for(v0=v0min;v0<v0max;v0+=v0inc)
for(v1=v1min;v1<v1max;v1+=v1inc)
{
sumsq=0;
for(i=0;i<nx;i++)
	for(j=0;j<ny;j++)
		{
		s1[i][j]=a*sin(2*pi*freq*x[i]+v1*y[j]);
	        s0[i][j]=a*sin(2*pi*freq*x[i]+v0*y[j]);
		sumsq+=(s1[i][j]-s0[i][j])*(s1[i][j]-s0[i][j]);
		}
m++; n++;
output[m][n]=sqrt(sumsq);
}

How to do this in R?
Thanks very much for any help.
