Matrix Properties
Matrices can be categorized by whether or not they feature certain properties.
Contents
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.
Positive Definite
A matrix is positive definite if it is symmetric and if zTAz is positive for every vector z.
Positive Semi-definite
A slight modification of the above requirement: a matrix can be called positive semi-definite if zTAz is positive or zero for every vector z.
