I've done it already. Unfortunately I can't find an appropriate function or an operator.

Double_t operator* (const TVectorD &source1,const TVectorD &source2);

and other operators are suitable for linear algebra operations but not in my case. There are some methods similar to std::valarray operators

void TVectorD::AddSomeConstant(Double_t val, const TVectorD& select);

TVectorD& TVectorD::Sqr();
TVectorD& TVectorD::Sqrt();
TVectorD& TVectorD::Invert(); // can be used instead of operator/()

However I don't see per element multiplication. Could you point me to the method producing the vector c as shown below

TVectorD a,b;
TVectorD c(a.GetNrows());
for (UInt_t i = 0; i < c.GetNrows(); ++i) {

    c[i] = a[i]*b[i];
}

I'm really sorry if I missed it in the reference.
