Challenging Matrix Problems for Advanced Students

Eivind Eriksen
October 14, 2010

These matrix problems are quite challenging and are meant for advanced students. Do not try these problems
until you master the problems in the Lecture Notes.
Hint: The problems can be simplified a lot by using a smart approach rather than straight-forward calculations.
I will make solutions to these problems available later if there are students working with them.

Question 1
Solve the equation
x 2 3

2 x 3 = 0

2 3 x

Question 2
Solve the equation
x + 1
0 x 0 x−1 0
0
x 0 x−1 0 x + 1
x 0 x−1 0 x+1 0
=9
0
x−1 0 x+1 0 x
x − 1 0 x+1 0 x 0

0 x+1 0 x 0 x − 1

Question 3
Solve the linear system

x2 + x3 + ... + xn−1 + xn = 2
x1 + x3 + ... + xn−1 + xn = 4
x1 + x2 + ... + xn−1 + xn = 6
.. .. .. .. .. .. ..
. . . . . . .
x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + xn−1 = 2n
