Study Notes
- Matrix multiplication is defined for matrices $A = (a_{ij}) \in K^{m \times n}$ and $B = (b_{jk}) \in K^{n \times p}$.
- The product $C = A \cdot B = (c_{ik}) \in K^{m \times p}$ is defined as $c_{ik} = \sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{ij} \cdot b_{jk}$ for $i = 1, \dots, m$ and $k = 1, \dots, p$.
Matrix Multiplication Example
- Given two matrices:
- $A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{pmatrix}$
- $B = \begin{pmatrix} 7 & 8 \ 9 & 10 \ 11 & 12 \end{pmatrix}$
- $A \cdot B = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \cdot 7 + 2 \cdot 9 + 3 \cdot 11 & 1 \cdot 8 + 2 \cdot 10 + 3 \cdot 12 \ 4 \cdot 7 + 5 \cdot 9 + 6 \cdot 11 & 4 \cdot 8 + 5 \cdot 10 + 6 \cdot 12 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 58 & 64 \ 139 & 154 \end{pmatrix}$
Properties of Matrix Multiplication
- Associativity: $(A \cdot B) \cdot C = A \cdot (B \cdot C)$.
- Distributivity: $A \cdot (B + C) = A \cdot B + A \cdot C$ and $(A + B) \cdot C = A \cdot C + B \cdot C$.
- Non-commutative: In general, $A \cdot B \neq B \cdot A$.
Additional Information
- Matrix multiplication is only defined if the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix.
