In mathematics, a block matrix or a partitioned matrix is a matrix that is interpreted as having been broken into sections called blocks or submatrices. [1] [2]Intuitively, a matrix interpreted as a block matrix can be visualized as the original matrix with a collection of horizontal and vertical lines, which break it up, or partition it, into a collection of smaller matrices.
In mathematics, a block matrix pseudoinverse is a formula for the pseudoinverse of a partitioned matrix. This is useful for decomposing or approximating many algorithms updating parameters in signal processing , which are based on the least squares method.
The Schur complement arises when performing a block Gaussian elimination on the matrix M.In order to eliminate the elements below the block diagonal, one multiplies the matrix M by a block lower triangular matrix on the right as follows: = [] [] [] = [], where I p denotes a p×p identity matrix.
In linear algebra, a Block LU decomposition is a matrix decomposition of a block matrix into a lower block triangular matrix L and an upper block triangular matrix U. This decomposition is used in numerical analysis to reduce the complexity of the block matrix formula.
The formula for the determinant of a -matrix above continues to hold, under appropriate further assumptions, for a block matrix, i.e., a matrix composed of four submatrices ,,, of dimension , , and , respectively.
An circulant matrix takes the form = [] or the transpose of this form (by choice of notation). If each is a square matrix, then the matrix is called a block-circulant matrix.. A circulant matrix is fully specified by one vector, , which appears as the first column (or row) of .
There is also a real Schur decomposition. If A is an n × n square matrix with real entries, then A can be expressed as [4] = where Q is an orthogonal matrix and H is either upper or lower quasi-triangular. A quasi-triangular matrix is a matrix that when expressed as a block matrix of 2 × 2 and 1 × 1 blocks is
Let B i be a (mn) × m block matrix defined as follows: = [] = B i consists of n block matrices of size m × m , stacked column-wise, and all these matrices are all-zero except for the i -th one, which is a m × m identity matrix I m .
