A principal submatrix is a square submatrix obtained by removing certain rows and columns. The definition varies from author to author. The definition varies from author to author. According to some authors, a principal submatrix is a submatrix in which the set of row indices that remain is the same as the set of column indices that remain.
Specifically, sign conditions are imposed on the sequence of leading principal minors (determinants of upper-left-justified sub-matrices) of the bordered Hessian, for which the first leading principal minors are neglected, the smallest minor consisting of the truncated first + rows and columns, the next consisting of the truncated first + rows ...
In mathematics, Sylvester’s criterion is a necessary and sufficient criterion to determine whether a Hermitian matrix is positive-definite. Sylvester's criterion states that a n × n Hermitian matrix M is positive-definite if and only if all the following matrices have a positive determinant:
If is invertible, then it admits an LU (or LDU) factorization if and only if all its leading principal minors [7] are nonzero [8] (for example [] does not admit an LU or LDU factorization). If A {\textstyle A} is a singular matrix of rank k {\textstyle k} , then it admits an LU factorization if the first k {\textstyle k} leading principal ...
He did important research on invariant factors, integral matrices, principal submatrices, and the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. [7] [10] His research was honored with his appointment as lecturer for the 1988 Johns Hopkins Summer Lecture Series. [8]
The i-th Hurwitz determinant is the i-th leading principal minor (minor is a determinant) of the above Hurwitz matrix H. There are n Hurwitz determinants for a characteristic polynomial of degree n .
The program structure of this algorithm is a simple triple-loop, as in the standard Gaussian elimination. However in this case the matrix is modified so that each M k,k entry contains the leading principal minor [M] k,k. Algorithm correctness is easily shown by induction on k. [4]
A block matrix which is essentially a tridiagonal matrix but with submatrices in place of scalar elements. Boolean matrix: A matrix whose entries are taken from a Boolean algebra. Cauchy matrix: A matrix whose elements are of the form 1/(x i + y j) for (x i), (y j) injective sequences (i.e., taking every value only once). Centrosymmetric matrix
