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.
For example, a 2,1 represents the element at the second row and first column of the matrix. In mathematics, a matrix (pl.: matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, with elements or entries arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or property of such an object.
The Hessian matrix plays an important role in Morse theory and catastrophe theory, because its kernel and eigenvalues allow classification of the critical points. [2] [3] [4] The determinant of the Hessian matrix, when evaluated at a critical point of a function, is equal to the Gaussian curvature of the function considered as a manifold. The ...
In mathematics, the determinant is a scalar-valued function of the entries of a square matrix.The determinant of a matrix A is commonly denoted det(A), det A, or | A |.Its value characterizes some properties of the matrix and the linear map represented, on a given basis, by the matrix.
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]
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.
A square matrix is called lower triangular if all the entries above the main diagonal are zero. Similarly, a square matrix is called upper triangular if all the entries below the main diagonal are zero. Because matrix equations with triangular matrices are easier to solve, they are very important in numerical analysis.
An circulant matrix takes the form = [] or the transpose of this form (by choice of notation). If each c i {\displaystyle c_{i}} is a p × p {\displaystyle p\times p} square matrix , then the n p × n p {\displaystyle np\times np} matrix C {\displaystyle C} is called a block-circulant matrix .
