An '''inverse matrix''' is denoted as A^-1^. If a matrix is multiplied by its inverse matrix, it returns the identity matrix.

If A^-1^ exists, then A is '''invertible''' and '''non-singular'''. Not all matrices are invertible.

For a square matrix A, the left inverse is the same as the right inverse. AA^-1^ = A^-1^A = I


Special Matrices

Identity Matrix

The identity matrix multiplied by matrix A returns matrix A.

This matrix is simply a diagonal line of 1s in a matrix of 0s.

┌      ┐
│ 1 0 0│
│ 0 1 0│
│ 0 0 1│
└      ┘

Permutation Matrix

The permutation matrix multiplied by matrix A returns matrix C which is a mirrored transformation of A.

This matrix is simply a diagonal line of 1s in a matrix of 0s, but going the opposite direction as compared to an identity matrix

┌      ┐
│ 0 0 1│
│ 0 1 0│
│ 1 0 0│
└      ┘

Note that a permutation matrix can mirror either the rows or columns of matrix A, depending simply on the order.

┌    ┐┌    ┐ ┌    ┐
│ 0 1│| 1 2| | 3 4|
│ 1 0│| 3 4|=| 1 2|
└    ┘└    ┘ └    ┘

┌    ┐┌    ┐ ┌    ┐
| 1 2|│ 0 1│ | 2 1|
| 3 4|│ 1 0│=| 4 3|
└    ┘└    ┘ └    ┘

Inverse Matrices

An inverse matrix is denoted as A-1. If a matrix is multiplied by its inverse matrix, it returns the identity matrix.

If A-1 exists, then A is invertible and non-singular. Not all matrices are invertible.

For a square matrix A, the left inverse is the same as the right inverse. AA-1 = A-1A = I
