In mathematics, a matrix ( pl.: matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or property of such an object. For example, is a matrix with two rows and three columns. This is often referred to as a "two by three matrix", a " matrix ...
In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra, matrix multiplication is a binary operation that produces a matrix from two matrices. For matrix multiplication, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. The resulting matrix, known as the matrix product, has the number of rows of the ...
The linear map h → J(x) ⋅ h is known as the derivative or the differential of f at x . When m = n, the Jacobian matrix is square, so its determinant is a well-defined function of x, known as the Jacobian determinant of f. It carries important information about the local behavior of f.
Matrix analysis. In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra and applications, matrix analysis is the study of matrices and their algebraic properties. [1] Some particular topics out of many include; operations defined on matrices (such as matrix addition, matrix multiplication and operations derived from these), functions of matrices (such ...
Calculus. In mathematics, the Hessian matrix, Hessian or (less commonly) Hesse matrix is a square matrix of second-order partial derivatives of a scalar-valued function, or scalar field. It describes the local curvature of a function of many variables. The Hessian matrix was developed in the 19th century by the German mathematician Ludwig Otto ...
Definite matrix. In mathematics, a symmetric matrix with real entries is positive-definite if the real number is positive for every nonzero real column vector where is the transpose of . [1] More generally, a Hermitian matrix (that is, a complex matrix equal to its conjugate transpose) is positive-definite if the real number is positive for ...
A matrix whose entries are taken from a Boolean algebra. Cauchy matrix. A matrix whose elements are of the form 1/ ( xi + yj) for ( xi ), ( yj) injective sequences (i.e., taking every value only once). Centrosymmetric matrix. A matrix symmetric about its center; i.e., aij = an−i+1,n−j+1. Circulant matrix.
In linear algebra, the identity matrix of size is the square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere. It has unique properties, for example when the identity matrix represents a geometric transformation, the object remains unchanged by the transformation. In other contexts, it is analogous to multiplying by the number 1.
