Let A be an m × n matrix and k an integer with 0 < k ≤ m, and k ≤ n.A k × k minor of A, also called minor determinant of order k of A or, if m = n, the (n − k) th minor determinant of A (the word "determinant" is often omitted, and the word "degree" is sometimes used instead of "order") is the determinant of a k × k matrix obtained from A by deleting m − k rows and n − k columns.
In particular, the diagonal entries are the principal minors of , which of course are also principal minors of , and are thus non-negative. Since the trace of a matrix is the sum of the diagonal entries, it follows that tr ( ⋀ j M k ) ≥ 0. {\displaystyle \operatorname {tr} \left(\textstyle \bigwedge ^{j}M_{k}\right)\geq 0.}
Existence: An n-by-n matrix A always has n (complex) eigenvalues, which can be ordered (in more than one way) to form an n-by-n diagonal matrix D and a corresponding matrix of nonzero columns V that satisfies the eigenvalue equation =.
For the general case of an arbitrary number n of variables, there are n sign conditions on the n principal minors of the Hessian matrix that together are equivalent to positive or negative definiteness of the Hessian (Sylvester's criterion): for a local minimum, all the principal minors need to be positive, while for a local maximum, the minors ...
A real tensor in 3D (i.e., one with a 3x3 component matrix) has as many as six independent invariants, three being the invariants of its symmetric part and three characterizing the orientation of the axial vector of the skew-symmetric part relative to the principal directions of the symmetric part.
Context for the formula is given in the article on minors, but the idea is that both the formula for ordinary matrix multiplication and the Cauchy–Binet formula for the determinant of the product of two matrices are special cases of the following general statement about the minors of a product of two matrices.
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]
In mathematics, the Smith normal form (sometimes abbreviated SNF [1]) is a normal form that can be defined for any matrix (not necessarily square) with entries in a principal ideal domain (PID). The Smith normal form of a matrix is diagonal, and can be obtained from the original matrix by multiplying on the left and right by invertible square ...
