  2. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    The diagonals of a square are (about 1.414) times the length of a side of the square. This value, known as the square root of 2 or Pythagoras' constant, [1] was the first number proven to be irrational. A square can also be defined as a parallelogram with equal diagonals that bisect the angles.

  3. Diagonal matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_matrix

    A square diagonal matrix is a symmetric matrix, so this can also be called a symmetric diagonal matrix. The following matrix is square diagonal matrix: [] If the entries are real numbers or complex numbers, then it is a normal matrix as well. In the remainder of this article we will consider only square diagonal matrices, and refer to them ...

  4. Main diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_diagonal

    For a square matrix, the diagonal (or main diagonal or principal diagonal) is the diagonal line of entries running from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner. [1] [2] [3] For a matrix with row index specified by and column index specified by , these would be entries with =.

  5. Symmetric matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_matrix

    Any square matrix can uniquely be written as sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrix. This decomposition is known as the Toeplitz decomposition. Let Mat n {\displaystyle {\mbox{Mat}}_{n}} denote the space of n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} matrices.

  6. Square matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_matrix

    The entries form the main diagonal of a square matrix. For instance, the main diagonal of the 4×4 matrix above contains the elements a 11 = 9, a 22 = 11, a 33 = 4, a 44 = 10. In mathematics, a square matrix is a matrix with the same number of rows and columns. An n-by-n matrix is known as a square matrix of order .

  7. Trace (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_(linear_algebra)

    If a 2 x 2 real matrix has zero trace, its square is a diagonal matrix. The trace of a 2 × 2 complex matrix is used to classify Möbius transformations. First, the matrix is normalized to make its determinant equal to one. Then, if the square of the trace is 4, the corresponding transformation is parabolic.

  8. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)

    An n-by-n matrix is known as a square matrix of order n. Any two square matrices of the same order can be added and multiplied. The entries a ii form the main diagonal of a square matrix. They lie on the imaginary line that runs from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the matrix.

  9. Diagonalizable matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonalizable_matrix

    The determinant of a diagonal matrix is simply the product of all diagonal entries. Such computations generalize easily to A = P D P − 1 {\displaystyle A=PDP^{-1}} . The geometric transformation represented by a diagonalizable matrix is an inhomogeneous dilation (or anisotropic scaling ).
