Study Notes
Inverse by Partitioning
- Inverse of a matrix can be calculated by partitioning the matrix into smaller sub-matrices
- This method is useful for finding the inverse of a large matrix
- Partitioning involves dividing the matrix into four sub-matrices and then finding the inverse of each sub-matrix
Rank of a Matrix
- Rank of a matrix is the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix
- It is a measure of the dimension of the range of the matrix
- Rank is used to determine the solvability of a system of linear equations
Rank-Nullity Theorem
- The rank-nullity theorem states that the rank of a matrix plus the nullity of the matrix is equal to the number of columns of the matrix
- This theorem is used to determine the dimension of the null space of a matrix
- The nullity of a matrix is the number of linearly independent vectors in the null space of the matrix
System of Linear Equations
- A system of linear equations is a set of equations where each equation is in the form of ax + by = c
- The solution to a system of linear equations is the set of values that satisfy all the equations
- The rank of the coefficient matrix determines the solvability of the system
Eigen Values and Eigen Vectors
- Eigen values are scalars that represent how much the matrix stretches or compresses a vector
- Eigen vectors are non-zero vectors that, when transformed by the matrix, result in a scaled version of themselves
- Eigen values and eigen vectors are used to diagonalize a matrix and to understand the structure of the matrix
Cayley-Hamilton Theorem
- The Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation
- This theorem is used to find the eigen values of a matrix and to diagonalize a matrix
- The characteristic equation is a polynomial equation in which the matrix is a root
