  • Determinant Notes
    68 UNIT FIVE DETERMINANTS 5.1 INTRODUCTION In unit one the determinant of a 2× 2 matrix was introduced and used in the evaluation of a cross product. In this chapter we extend the definition of a determinant to any size square matrix. The determinant has a variety of applications. The value of the determinant of a square matrix A can be used to determine whether A is invertible or noninvertible. An explicit formula for A–1 exists that involves the determinant of A. Some systems of linear equations have solutions that can be expressed in terms of determinants. 5.2 DEFINITION OF THE DETERMINANT a11 a12 Recall that in chapter one the determinant of the 2× 2 matrix A = was a21 a22 defined to be the number a11a22 − a12 a21 and that the notation det (A) or A was used to represent the determinant of A. For any given n × n matrix A = a , the notation A [ ij ]n×n ij will be used to denote the (n −1)× (n −1) submatrix obtained from A by deleting the ith row and the jth column of A. The determinant of any size square matrix A = a is [ ij ]n×n defined recursively as follows. Definition of the Determinant Let A = a be an n × n matrix. [ ij ]n×n (1) If n = 1, that is A = [a11], then we define det (A) = a11 . n 1k+ (2) If na>=1, we define det(A) ∑(-1)11kk det(A ) k=1 Example If A = []5 , then by part (1) of the definition of the determinant, det (A) = 5.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • THREE STEPS on an OPEN ROAD Gilbert Strang This Note Describes
    Inverse Problems and Imaging doi:10.3934/ipi.2013.7.961 Volume 7, No. 3, 2013, 961{966 THREE STEPS ON AN OPEN ROAD Gilbert Strang Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Abstract. This note describes three recent factorizations of banded invertible infinite matrices 1. If A has a banded inverse : A=BC with block{diagonal factors B and C. 2. Permutations factor into a shift times N < 2w tridiagonal permutations. 3. A = LP U with lower triangular L, permutation P , upper triangular U. We include examples and references and outlines of proofs. This note describes three small steps in the factorization of banded matrices. It is written to encourage others to go further in this direction (and related directions). At some point the problems will become deeper and more difficult, especially for doubly infinite matrices. Our main point is that matrices need not be Toeplitz or block Toeplitz for progress to be possible. An important theory is already established [2, 9, 10, 13-16] for non-Toeplitz \band-dominated operators". The Fredholm index plays a key role, and the second small step below (taken jointly with Marko Lindner) computes that index in the special case of permutation matrices. Recall that banded Toeplitz matrices lead to Laurent polynomials. If the scalars or matrices a−w; : : : ; a0; : : : ; aw lie along the diagonals, the polynomial is A(z) = P k akz and the bandwidth is w. The required index is in this case a winding number of det A(z). Factorization into A+(z)A−(z) is a classical problem solved by Plemelj [12] and Gohberg [6-7].

If m = n, compatibility means that HC’ = CfH where Cf is the companion matrix of f With a suitable generalization of Cr, this theorem is gener- alized to the case that m < n.

  • Determinants Math 122 Calculus III D Joyce, Fall 2012
    Determinants Math 122 Calculus III D Joyce, Fall 2012 What they are. A determinant is a value associated to a square array of numbers, that square array being called a square matrix. For example, here are determinants of a general 2 × 2 matrix and a general 3 × 3 matrix. a b = ad − bc: c d a b c d e f = aei + bfg + cdh − ceg − afh − bdi: g h i The determinant of a matrix A is usually denoted jAj or det (A). You can think of the rows of the determinant as being vectors. For the 3×3 matrix above, the vectors are u = (a; b; c), v = (d; e; f), and w = (g; h; i). Then the determinant is a value associated to n vectors in Rn. There's a general definition for n×n determinants. It's a particular signed sum of products of n entries in the matrix where each product is of one entry in each row and column. The two ways you can choose one entry in each row and column of the 2 × 2 matrix give you the two products ad and bc. There are six ways of chosing one entry in each row and column in a 3 × 3 matrix, and generally, there are n! ways in an n × n matrix. Thus, the determinant of a 4 × 4 matrix is the signed sum of 24, which is 4!, terms. In this general definition, half the terms are taken positively and half negatively. In class, we briefly saw how the signs are determined by permutations.
