I would like to know what is the most efficient to implement the following computation. Given three lists



 a = a_1,a_2, a_3, …, a_n
b = b_1,b_2, b_3, …, b_n
c = c_1,c_2, c_3, …, c_n


and a function $f(x_1,x_2,x_3)$, obtain



 f(a_1,b_1,c_1) f(a_1,b_1,c_2) ..... f(a_1,b_1,c_n) 
f(a_2,b_2,c_1) f(a_2,b_2,c_2) ..... f(a_2,b_2,c_n)
..... ..... ..... .....
f(a_n,b_n,c_1) f(a_n,b_n,c_2) ..... f(a_n,b_n,c_n)


I cannot find a solution not using For.

          Here's one way to do it with Outer:



          n = 3;
          l1 = Array[a, n];
          l2 = Array[b, n];
          l3 = Array[c, n];

          Outer[
          f[#1[[1]], #1[[2]], #2] &,
          Transpose @ l1, l2,
          l3,
          1
          ]



          Out[25]= f[a[1], b[1], c[1]], f[a[1], b[1], c[2]],
          f[a[1], b[1], c[3]], f[a[2], b[2], c[1]], f[a[2], b[2], c[2]],
          f[a[2], b[2], c[3]], f[a[3], b[3], c[1]], f[a[3], b[3], c[2]],

            Another possibility is to use the 3-arg version of Thread. With Sjoerd's example:



            n = 3;
            l1 = Array[a,n];
            l2 = Array[b,n];
            l3 = Array[c,n];


            Using Thread:



            Thread /@ Thread[f[l1, l2, l3], List, 2]



            f[a[1], b[1], c[1]], f[a[1], b[1], c[2]],
            f[a[1], b[1], c[3]], f[a[2], b[2], c[1]], f[a[2], b[2], c[2]],
            f[a[2], b[2], c[3]], f[a[3], b[3], c[1]], f[a[3], b[3], c[2]],
            f[a[3], b[3], c[3]]

                      Another possibility is to use the 3-arg version of Thread. With Sjoerd's example:



                      n = 3;
                      l1 = Array[a,n];
                      l2 = Array[b,n];
                      l3 = Array[c,n];


                      Using Thread:



                      Thread /@ Thread[f[l1, l2, l3], List, 2]



                      f[a[1], b[1], c[1]], f[a[1], b[1], c[2]],
                      f[a[1], b[1], c[3]], f[a[2], b[2], c[1]], f[a[2], b[2], c[2]],
                      f[a[2], b[2], c[3]], f[a[3], b[3], c[1]], f[a[3], b[3], c[2]],
                      f[a[3], b[3], c[3]]
