Diagonal Matrices, Upper and Lower Triangular Matrices
Diagonal Matrices , Upper and Lower Triangular MatricesLinear AlgebraMATH 2010 Diagonal Matrices : Definition:Adiagonal matrixis a square matrix with zero entries except possibly on the maindiagonal (extends from the Upper left corner to the Lower right corner). Examples:The following are examples, of Diagonal Matrices : 1 0 00 1 00 0 1 120 0 00 3 0 00 0 0 00 0 0 4 In general, a Diagonal matrix is given byA= d10. . . . . .00d20. . .00. . ..... . .00. . . . . ....00. . . . . . . . . dk Notation:A lot of the time, a Diagonal matrix is referenced with a capitalD(for Diagonal ). Powers:IfDis a Diagonal matrix, thenDnforn >0 is given byDn= dn10. . . . . .00dn20. . .00. . ..... . .00. . . . . ....00. . . . . . . . . dnk Inverses:A Diagonal matrixDis invertible if and only if all the Diagonal elements are this case,D 1is given byD 1= 1d10.
A lower triangular matrix is a square matrix in which all entries above the main diagonal are zero (only nonzero entries are found below the main diagonal - in the lower triangle). See the picture below. { Notation: An upper triangular matrix is typically denoted with …
