  2. Cancellation property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancellation_property

    If a × b = a × c, then it does not follow that b = c even if a ≠ 0 (take c = b + a for example) Matrix multiplication also does not necessarily obey the cancellation law. If AB = AC and A ≠ 0, then one must show that matrix A is invertible (i.e. has det(A) ≠ 0) before one can conclude that B = C. If det(A) = 0, then B might not equal C ...

  3. Cancellative semigroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancellative_semigroup

    In mathematics, a cancellative semigroup (also called a cancellation semigroup) is a semigroup having the cancellation property. [1] In intuitive terms, the cancellation property asserts that from an equality of the form a·b = a·c, where · is a binary operation, one can cancel the element a and deduce the equality b = c.

  4. Matrix splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_splitting

    where B and C are n × n matrices. If, for an arbitrary n × n matrix M, M has nonnegative entries, we write M ≥ 0. If M has only positive entries, we write M > 0. Similarly, if the matrix M 1 − M 2 has nonnegative entries, we write M 1 ≥ M 2. Definition: A = B − C is a regular splitting of A if B −1 ≥ 0 and C ≥ 0. We assume that ...

  5. Integral domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_domain

    The cancellation property holds in any integral domain: for any a, b, and c in an integral domain, if a ≠ 0 and ab = ac then b = c. Another way to state this is that the function x ↦ ax is injective for any nonzero a in the domain. The cancellation property holds for ideals in any integral domain: if xI = xJ, then either x is zero or I = J.

  6. Small cancellation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_cancellation_theory

    This symmetrization satisfies the C′(1/20) small cancellation condition. If a symmetrized presentation satisfies the C′(1/m) condition then it also satisfies the C(m) condition. Let r ∈ F(X) be a nontrivial cyclically reduced word which is not a proper power in F(X) and let n ≥ 2.

  7. Cholesky decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesky_decomposition

    The Kalman filter tracks the average state of a system as a vector x of length N and covariance as an N × N matrix P. The matrix P is always positive semi-definite and can be decomposed into LL T. The columns of L can be added and subtracted from the mean x to form a set of 2N vectors called sigma points. These sigma points completely capture ...

  8. Moore–Penrose inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore–Penrose_inverse

    For example, in the MATLAB or GNU Octave function pinv, the tolerance is taken to be t = ε⋅max(m, n)⋅max(Σ), where ε is the machine epsilon. The computational cost of this method is dominated by the cost of computing the SVD, which is several times higher than matrixmatrix multiplication, even if a state-of-the art implementation ...

  9. Matrix calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_calculus

    In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.
