In linear algebra, the main diagonal (sometimes principal diagonal, primary diagonal, leading diagonal, major diagonal, or good diagonal) of a matrix is the list of entries , where =. All off-diagonal elements are zero in a diagonal matrix. The following four matrices have their main diagonals indicated by red ones:
An "almost" triangular matrix, for example, an upper Hessenberg matrix has zero entries below the first subdiagonal. Hollow matrix: A square matrix whose main diagonal comprises only zero elements. Integer matrix: A matrix whose entries are all integers. Logical matrix: A matrix with all entries either 0 or 1.
In linear algebra, a diagonal matrix is a matrix in which the entries outside the main diagonal are all zero; the term usually refers to square matrices. Elements of the main diagonal can either be zero or nonzero.
In mathematics, a bidiagonal matrix is a banded matrix with non-zero entries along the main diagonal and either the diagonal above or the diagonal below. This means there are exactly two non-zero diagonals in the matrix. When the diagonal above the main diagonal has the non-zero entries the matrix is upper bidiagonal.
An example of a matrix in Jordan normal form. The grey blocks are called Jordan blocks. The eigendecomposition or diagonalization expresses A as a product VDV −1, where D is a diagonal matrix and V is a suitable invertible matrix. [52] If A can be written in this form, it is called diagonalizable.
In linear algebra, a tridiagonal matrix is a band matrix that has nonzero elements only on the main diagonal, the subdiagonal/lower diagonal (the first diagonal below this), and the supradiagonal/upper diagonal (the first diagonal above the main diagonal). For example, the following matrix is tridiagonal:
All entries on the main diagonal of a skew-Hermitian matrix have to be pure imaginary; i.e., on the imaginary axis (the number zero is also considered purely imaginary). [ 4 ] If A {\displaystyle A} and B {\displaystyle B} are skew-Hermitian, then a A + b B {\displaystyle aA+bB} is skew-Hermitian for all real scalars a {\displaystyle a ...
A square matrix of order 4. The entries form the main diagonal of a square matrix. For instance, the main diagonal of the 4×4 matrix above contains the elements a 11 = 9, a 22 = 11, a 33 = 4, a 44 = 10. In mathematics, a square matrix is a matrix with the same number of rows and columns.
