Matrix Inversion
For some matrices A, the inverse matrix (A-1) is a matrix which can be multiplied by the original matrix to produce the identity matrix. The calculation of an inverse matrix, if it exists, is called inversion.
Definition
An inverse matrix satisfies the equation AA-1 = I.
Determinants are the test for invertability. if |A| != 0, then A is invertable and non-singular. Conversely, if |A| = 0, then A is singular and non-invertable.
Properties
The core principle of inversions is that a matrix A can be canceled out from a larger equation. AA-1 = I, so the two terms cancel out.
An invertible matrix has only one vector in the null space: the zero vector.
For orthogonal matrices (such as permutation matrices), the inverse is also the transpose: Q-1 = QT.
For a square matrix A, the left inverse is the same as the right inverse. AA-1 = A-1A = I
Calculation
Because AA-1 = I, applying elimination and backwards elimination on A augmented with an identity matrix (I) will create A-1 in the augmentation.
┌ ┐ │ [1] 3 │ 1 0│ │ 2 7 │ 0 1│ └ ┘ ┌ ┐ │ [1] 3 │ 1 0│ │ 0 [1] │ -2 1│ └ ┘ ┌ ┐ │ 1 3 │ 1 0│ │ 0 [1] │ -2 1│ └ ┘ ┌ ┐ │ [1] 0 │ 7 -3│ │ 0 [1] │ -2 1│ └ ┘
A-1 is:
┌ ┐ │ 7 -3│ │ -2 1│ └ ┘
Determinant and Cofactor Matrix
Given the determinant of A, it can also be simple to compute A-1 as (1/|A|)CT. C is the cofactor matrix, where ci j is the cofactor of ai j.
For example, given a 2 x 2 A like:
┌ ┐ │ a b│ │ c d│ └ ┘
The cofactor matrix C is:
┌ ┐ │ d -c│ │ -b a│ └ ┘
But this must be transposed to CT:
┌ ┐ │ d -b│ │ -c a│ └ ┘
And then A^-1 is:
┌ ┐ │ (1/det A) * d (1/det A) * -b│ │ (1/det A) * -c (1/det A) * a│ └ ┘
The above example fits into this formula. The elimination and backwards elimination prove that the determinant of that A is 1. The more fundamental formula ad - bc expands to 1 * 7 - 2 * 3 which also reveals a determinant of 1. As such, (1/|A|) is trivially 1. So simply plug the given (a, b, c, d) into the transposed cofactor matrix to find the inverse.
