| = Matrix Properties = Matrices can be categorized by whether or not they feature certain '''properties'''. <<TableOfContents>> ---- == Symmetry == A '''symmetric matrix''' is equal to its [[LinearAlgebra/MatrixTransposition|transpose]]. {{{ julia> A = [1 2; 2 1] 2×2 Matrix{Int64}: 1 2 2 1 julia> A == A' true }}} ---- == Invertability == A matrix is '''invertible''' and '''non-singular''' if the [[LinearAlgebra/Determinants|determinant]] is non-zero. ---- == Idempotency == An '''idempotent''' matrix can be multiplied by some matrix '''''A''''' any number of times and the first product will continue to be returned. In other words, '''''A'''^2^ = '''A'''''. For example, the [[LinearAlgebra/Projections|projection matrix]] '''''P''''' is characterized as '''H'''('''H'''^T^'''H''')^-1^'''H'''^T^. If this were squared to '''H'''('''H'''^T^'''H''')^-1^'''H'''^T^'''H'''('''H'''^T^'''H''')^-1^'''H'''^T^, then per the core principle of [[LinearAlgebra/MatrixInversion|inversion]] (i.e., '''''AA'''^-1^ = '''I'''''), half of the terms would cancel out. '''''P'''^2^ = '''P'''''. ---- == Orthonormality == A [[LinearAlgebra/Orthogonality#Matrices|matrix with orthonormal columns]] has several important properties. A matrix '''''A''''' can be [[LinearAlgebra/Orthonormalization|orthonormalized]] into '''''Q'''''. === Orthogonality === An '''orthogonal matrix''' is a ''square'' matrix with orthonormal columns. ---- CategoryRicottone |
