A [[LinearAlgebra/SpecialMatrices#Diagonal_Matrices|diagonal matrix]] has many useful properties. A '''diagonalizable matrix''' is a ''square'' matrix that can be factored into one.

Notating the matrix of the [[LinearAlgebra/EigenvaluesAndEigenvectors|eigenvectors]] of '''''A''''' as '''''S''''', a diagonalizable matrix can be factored as '''''A''' = '''SΛS'''^-1^''. '''''Λ''''' will be the diagonal matrix with the [[LinearAlgebra/EigenvaluesAndEigenvectors|eigenvalues]] of '''''A''''' in the diagonal. In other words, '''''A''''' can be rewritten as a eigennormalized (i.e. transformed by '''''S''''') then un-eigennormalized (i.e. transformed by '''''S'''^-1^'') diagonal matrix '''''Λ'''''.

This is useful because '''''A'''^2^ = '''SΛ'''^2^'''S'''^-1^'', and more generally '''''A'''^K^ = '''SΛ'''^K^'''S'''^-1^''.

A square matrix that is not diagonalizable is called '''defective'''.

Matrix Properties

Matrices can be categorized by whether or not they feature certain properties.


Symmetry

A symmetric matrix is equal to its 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 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, A2 = A.

For example, the projection matrix P is characterized as H(HTH)-1HT. If this were squared to H(HTH)-1HTH(HTH)-1HT, then per the core principle of inversion (i.e., AA-1 = I), half of the terms would cancel out. P2 = P.


Orthonormality

A matrix with orthonormal columns has several important properties. A matrix A can be orthonormalized into Q.

Orthogonality

An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix with orthonormal columns.


Diagonalizability

A diagonal matrix has many useful properties. A diagonalizable matrix is a square matrix that can be factored into one.
