  2. Identity matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_matrix

    The identity matrix is the only idempotent matrix with non-zero determinant. That is, it is the only matrix such that: When multiplied by itself, the result is itself. All of its rows and columns are linearly independent. The principal square root of an identity matrix is itself, and this is its only positive-definite square root.

  3. Adjugate matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjugate_matrix

    In linear algebra, the adjugate of a square matrix A is the transpose of its cofactor matrix and is denoted by adj(A). [1] [2] It is also occasionally known as adjunct matrix, [3] [4] or "adjoint", [5] though the latter term today normally refers to a different concept, the adjoint operator which for a matrix is the conjugate transpose.

  4. List of named matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_named_matrices

    A square diagonal matrix, with all entries on the main diagonal equal to 1, and the rest 0. a ij = δ ij: Lehmer matrix: a ij = min(i, j) ÷ max(i, j). A positive symmetric matrix. Matrix of ones: A matrix with all entries equal to one. a ij = 1. Pascal matrix: A matrix containing the entries of Pascal's triangle. Pauli matrices

  5. Matrix of ones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_of_ones

    Matrix of ones. In mathematics, a matrix of ones or all-ones matrix has every entry equal to one. [1] Examples of standard notation are given below: Some sources call the all-ones matrix the unit matrix, [2] but that term may also refer to the identity matrix, a different type of matrix. A vector of ones or all-ones vector is matrix of ones ...

  6. Matrix multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication

    In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra, matrix multiplication is a binary operation that produces a matrix from two matrices. For matrix multiplication, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. The resulting matrix, known as the matrix product, has the number of rows of the ...

  7. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation is useful for approximately calculating powers of sums of 1 and a small number x. It states that. It is valid when and where and may be real or complex numbers. The benefit of this approximation is that is converted from an exponent to a multiplicative factor. This can greatly simplify mathematical expressions (as in ...

  8. Rank (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_(linear_algebra)

    In linear algebra, the rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the vector space generated (or spanned) by its columns. [1][2][3] This corresponds to the maximal number of linearly independent columns of A. This, in turn, is identical to the dimension of the vector space spanned by its rows. [4] Rank is thus a measure of the "nondegenerateness ...

  9. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/ x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a / b is b / a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.
