Study Notes

Matrix Operations and Properties

For a square matrix ( A ), ( A \cdot (\text{adj},A) = |A| I_n ) and also ( (\text{adj},A) \cdot A = |A| I_n ).
The relationship holds for adjugates of transposed matrices: ( \text{adj}(A^T) = (\text{adj},A)^T ).
Determinant of the adjugate of a matrix ( A ) is given by ( |\text{adj},A| = |A|^{n-1} ).
For the product of two matrices, ( \text{adj}(AB) = \text{adj},B \cdot \text{adj},A ) holds true.
The adjugate of a symmetric matrix remains symmetric: if ( A ) is symmetric, then ( \text{adj},A ) is also symmetric.

Inverse of Matrices

The inverse of an inverse matrix is the original matrix: ( (A^{-1})^{-1} = A ).
For the transpose of matrix ( A ), the inverse satisfies the equation ( (A^T)^{-1} = (A^{-1})^T ).
The inverse of the product of two matrices is given by ( (AB)^{-1} = B^{-1} A^{-1} ).
The inverse of a power of matrix ( A^k ) is expressed as ( (A^k)^{-1} = (A^{-1})^k ).

Determinants and Singular Matrices

The determinant of the inverse matrix is ( |A^{-1}| = \frac{1}{|A|} = |A|^{-1} ).
If ( A ) is a singular matrix, then ( |\text{adj},A| = 0 ).
For a diagonal matrix ( A = \text{diag}(a_1, a_2, ..., a_n) ), its inverse is ( A^{-1} = \text{diag}(a_1^{-1}, a_2^{-1}, ..., a_n^{-1}) ).

Matrix Multiplication Properties

Matrix multiplication is not commutative in general, ( AB \neq BA ).
When multiplying matrices, the associative property applies: ( (AB)C = A(BC) ).
The distributive property exists in matrix multiplication, ( A(B + C) = AB + AC ).
Commutative multiplication occurs primarily with identity or diagonal matrices.

Key Formulas

For any natural number ( m ), ( \text{adj}(A^m) = (\text{adj},A)^m ).
For a scalar ( k ), ( \text{adj}(kA) = k^{n-1} \cdot \text{adj},A ) for a square matrix ( A ).
The adjugate of the identity matrix ( I_n ) is the identity matrix itself.

Summary of Key Relationships

( \text{adj}(A) ) for an invertible ( A ): ( \text{adj}(A^{-1}) = (\text{adj},A)^{-1} ).
Properties of specific types of matrices (diagonal, symmetric, triangular) relate directly to their adjugates and inverses.
