Matrix inversion is the process of finding the matrix which when multiplied by the original matrix gives the identity matrix. [2] Over a field, a square matrix that is not invertible is called singular or degenerate. A square matrix with entries in a field is singular if and only if its determinant is zero.
The complex Schur decomposition reads as follows: if A is an n × n square matrix with complex entries, then A can be expressed as [1] [2] [3] = for some unitary matrix Q (so that the inverse Q −1 is also the conjugate transpose Q* of Q), and some upper triangular matrix U.
A matrix (in this case the right-hand side of the Sherman–Morrison formula) is the inverse of a matrix (in this case +) if and only if = =. We first verify that the right hand side ( Y {\displaystyle Y} ) satisfies X Y = I {\displaystyle XY=I} .
In matrix inversion however, instead of vector b, we have matrix B, where B is an n-by-p matrix, so that we are trying to find a matrix X (also a n-by-p matrix): = =. We can use the same algorithm presented earlier to solve for each column of matrix X. Now suppose that B is the identity matrix of size n.
A variant of Gaussian elimination called Gauss–Jordan elimination can be used for finding the inverse of a matrix, if it exists. If A is an n × n square matrix, then one can use row reduction to compute its inverse matrix, if it exists. First, the n × n identity matrix is augmented to the right of A, forming an n × 2n block matrix [A | I]
If A is invertible, the Schur complement of the block A of the matrix M is the q × q matrix defined by /:=. In the case that A or D is singular, substituting a generalized inverse for the inverses on M/A and M/D yields the generalized Schur complement.
A common case is finding the inverse of a low-rank update A + UCV of A (where U only has a few columns and V only a few rows), or finding an approximation of the inverse of the matrix A + B where the matrix B can be approximated by a low-rank matrix UCV, for example using the singular value decomposition.
In general, the inverse of a tridiagonal matrix is a semiseparable matrix and vice versa. [11] The inverse of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix can be written as a single-pair matrix (a.k.a. generator-representable semiseparable matrix) of the form [12] [13]
