Trace table. A trace table is a technique used to test algorithms in order to make sure that no logical errors occur while the calculations are being processed. The table usually takes the form of a multi-column, multi-row table; With each column showing a variable, and each row showing each number input into the algorithm and the subsequent ...
Trace (linear algebra) In linear algebra, the trace of a square matrix A, denoted tr (A), [1] is defined to be the sum of elements on the main diagonal (from the upper left to the lower right) of A. The trace is only defined for a square matrix (n × n). In mathematical physics texts, if tr (A) = 0 then the matrix is said to be traceless.
A trace diagram representing the adjugate of a matrix. In mathematics, trace diagrams are a graphical means of performing computations in linear and multilinear algebra. They can be represented as (slightly modified) graphs in which some edges are labeled by matrices. The simplest trace diagrams represent the trace and determinant of a matrix.
Trace class. In mathematics, specifically functional analysis, a trace-class operator is a linear operator for which a trace may be defined, such that the trace is a finite number independent of the choice of basis used to compute the trace. This trace of trace-class operators generalizes the trace of matrices studied in linear algebra.
Let K be a field and L a finite extension (and hence an algebraic extension) of K. L can be viewed as a vector space over K. Multiplication by α, an element of L, is a K - linear transformation of this vector space into itself. The trace, TrL/K (α), is defined as the trace (in the linear algebra sense) of this linear transformation.
Trace operator. A function defined on a rectangle (top figure, in red), and its trace (bottom figure, in red). In mathematics, the trace operator extends the notion of the restriction of a function to the boundary of its domain to "generalized" functions in a Sobolev space. This is particularly important for the study of partial differential ...
Jensen's trace inequality. Let f be a continuous function defined on an interval I and let m and n be natural numbers. If f is convex, we then have the inequality. for all (X1, ... , Xn) self-adjoint m × m matrices with spectra contained in I and all (A1, ... , An) of m × m matrices with.
Character theory. In mathematics, more specifically in group theory, the character of a group representation is a function on the group that associates to each group element the trace of the corresponding matrix. The character carries the essential information about the representation in a more condensed form.
