A matrix is diagonal if and only if it is both upper-and lower-triangular. A diagonal matrix is symmetric. The identity matrix I n and zero matrix are diagonal. A 1×1 matrix is always diagonal. The square of a 2×2 matrix with zero trace is always diagonal.
The definition of matrix multiplication is that if C = AB for an n × m matrix A and an m × p matrix B, then C is an n × p matrix with entries = =. From this, a simple algorithm can be constructed which loops over the indices i from 1 through n and j from 1 through p, computing the above using a nested loop:
Matrix multiplication shares some properties with usual multiplication. However, matrix multiplication is not defined if the number of columns of the first factor differs from the number of rows of the second factor, and it is non-commutative, [10] even when the product remains defined after changing the order of the factors.

The Hadamard product operates on identically shaped matrices and produces a third matrix of the same dimensions. In mathematics, the Hadamard product (also known as the element-wise product, entrywise product [1]: ch. 5 or Schur product [2]) is a binary operation that takes in two matrices of the same dimensions and returns a matrix of the multiplied corresponding elements.
The set of Toeplitz matrices is a subspace of the vector space of matrices (under matrix addition and scalar multiplication). Two Toeplitz matrices may be added in O ( n ) {\displaystyle O(n)} time (by storing only one value of each diagonal) and multiplied in O ( n 2 ) {\displaystyle O(n^{2})} time.
[1] [2] That is, the matrix is idempotent if and only if =. For this product A 2 {\displaystyle A^{2}} to be defined , A {\displaystyle A} must necessarily be a square matrix . Viewed this way, idempotent matrices are idempotent elements of matrix rings .
In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition or matrix factorization is a factorization of a matrix into a product of matrices. There are many different matrix decompositions; each finds use among a particular class of problems.
An n × n matrix commutes with every other n × n matrix if and only if it is a scalar matrix, that is, a matrix of the form , where is the n × n identity matrix and is a scalar. In other words, the center of the group of n × n matrices under multiplication is the subgroup of scalar matrices.
