In linear algebra, a minor of a matrix A is the determinant of some smaller square matrix generated from A by removing one or more of its rows and columns. Minors obtained by removing just one row and one column from square matrices (first minors) are required for calculating matrix cofactors, which are useful for computing both the determinant and inverse of square matrices.
In linear algebra, the Laplace expansion, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, also called cofactor expansion, is an expression of the determinant of an n × n-matrix B as a weighted sum of minors, which are the determinants of some (n − 1) × (n − 1)-submatrices of B.
In linear algebra, the adjugate or classical adjoint of a square matrix A, adj(A), is the transpose of its cofactor matrix. [1] [2] It is occasionally known as adjunct matrix, [3] [4] or "adjoint", [5] though that normally refers to a different concept, the adjoint operator which for a matrix is the conjugate transpose.
In matrix calculus, Jacobi's formula expresses the derivative of the determinant of a matrix A in terms of the adjugate of A and the derivative of A. [1] If A is a differentiable map from the real numbers to n × n matrices, then
The minors and cofactors of a matrix are found by computing the determinant of certain submatrices. [16] [17] A principal submatrix is a square submatrix obtained by removing certain rows and columns. The definition varies from author to author.
In mathematics, every analytic function can be used for defining a matrix function that maps square matrices with complex entries to square matrices of the same size. This is used for defining the exponential of a matrix , which is involved in the closed-form solution of systems of linear differential equations .
Given a matrix-valued function A(x) which uniformly positive definite for every x, having components a ij, the operator = (()) + + is elliptic. This is the most general form of a second-order divergence form linear elliptic differential operator.
Matrix entries are given by the divisor function; entires of the inverse are given by the Möbius function. a ij are 1 if i divides j or if j = 1; otherwise, a ij = 0. A (0, 1)-matrix. Shift matrix: A matrix with ones on the superdiagonal or subdiagonal and zeroes elsewhere. a ij = δ i+1,j or a ij = δ i−1,j
