Matrix Analysis

A2.1    DEFINITIONS*

Let A be an m×n matrix with elements aij, i = 1, 2,…, m; j = 1, 2,…, n. A shorthand description of A is

[ A ]ij=aij

(A2.1)

The transpose of A, denoted by AT, is defined as the n×m matrix with elements aji or

[ AT ]ij=aij

(A2.2)

Example A2.1.1

A=[ 124931 ];AT=[ 143291 ]

A square matrix is a matrix in which m = n. A square matrix is symmetric if AT = A.

The rank of a matrix is the number of linearly independent rows or columns, whichever is less. The inverse of a square n×n matrix A−1 in which

A1A=AA1=I

(A2.3)

where:

I is the identity matrix

I=[ 100010001 ]

(A2.4)

A matrix A is singular if its inverse does not exist.

The determinant of a square n×n matrix is denoted ...
