CHAPTER AT A GLANCE
1. Matrix:A matrix is an ordered rectangular arrangement of numbers orfunctions arranged into a fixed
number of rows and columns. The numbers (real or complex) or functions are called the elements or
the entries ofthe matrix. It is represented by the symbol[] or () or|||.A matrix is denoted by a single
capital letter such as A, B, C, etc. and its elements are denoted by small letters.
2. Order of Matrix: If a matrix has m rows and n columns, then its order (dimension) is written as
mxn and read as m by n. If a matrix has order mx n, then it has mn elements.
Ingeneral, m xn matrix has the following rectangular array:
11 a12 13 1n

A =
In general, a is an element of matrix A lying in the i-th row and j-th column, and is also called
ij) element of matrix A.
3. Row Matrix: A matrix having only one row and any number of columns is called a row matrix. eg,
[1 7 9] is a row matrix of order 1 x 3.
In general, A = [ajl1 xn is a row matrix of order 1 xn.
4. Column Matrix: A matrix having only one column and any number ofrows is called a column matrix.
6
eg-9 is a column matrix of order 3 x1.
5
In general, A = la,lmx1is a column matrix of order m x 1.
5. Zero or Null Matrix: An mxn matrix whose all elements are zero is called a zero or null matrix of
order m x n. A matrix is said to be a zero or null matrix if each of its element is zero.
6. Square Matrix: A matrix in which the number ofrows is equal to the number of columns is called a
square matrix. If a square matrix has m rows, then it is called a square matrix of order m.

Ihe elements a of a square matrix A = [az]m x m for which i = j, 1e., the elements a11, a22 3 3 , mm are
called the diagonal elements and the line along which the diagonal elements lie, is called the principal
diagonal or leading diagonal of the square matrix of order m.

Thus, a square matrix is said to be a unit or identity matrix if all its non-diagonal elements are zero and

principal diagonal are zero, is
called a

are of two

is called an upper-triangular matrix.

(If A and B are not of the same order, then their sum A + B is not defined)
Properties of Addition of Matrices
) Commutative Law: Matrix addition is commutative i.e., if A and B are matrices of the
same order, then A + B =B+ A.
(i) Associative Law : Matrix addition is associative i.e., if A, B and C are matrices of the same
order, then A + (B + C) = (A + B) +C.
(i) Existence of Additive Identity : For any matrix A = laphm x, of order m x n, there exists a
null matrix Omxn=[0]m xn ofthe same order such that A + 0=O+A =A. Thezero matrix
"O" is called additive identity.
(iv) Existence of Additive Inverse : For any matrix A = lalm x, of order mxn, there exists a
unique matrix -A = [-ailm xn of the same order suchthat A + (-A)= (-A) +A =O. The matrix
-
A is called additive inverse of the matrix A.
(b) Negative of a Matrix: The negative of a matrix A = l4;]mxn is denoted by - A and is defined as
-A =
-ajmxr
(c)Subtraction of Matrices: If two matrices A = [a,] and B = [blare ofsame order, say mxn, then the
subtraction of B from A is denoted by A - B and is the matrix of the same order mxn defined as
A -B =
laj- bilm xn
(d) Multiplication of a Matrix by a Scalar: If A = lajdm xn is a matrix and k is a scalar, then the
multiplication of A by scalar k is denoted by kA and is another matrix of the same order m x n
obtained by multiplying each element of A by the scalar k. Thus, kA = [(ka,)llm xn

Matrices | 59
A matrix is invertible if there exists another matrix B such that AB = BA = I, where I is the identity matrix. For a symmetric matrix, its inverse is also symmetric if it exists, as (A^-1)^T = (A^T)^-1 = A^-1. Skew-symmetric matrices are not generally invertible unless they are zero matrices. If a skew-symmetric matrix is invertible, it indicates an imaginary component in complex matrices, often seen in contexts where eigenvalues are involved .
The expression A + A^T results in a symmetric matrix for any square matrix A. This is because (A + A^T)^T = A^T + (A^T)^T = A^T + A = A + A^T, which satisfies the condition of a symmetric matrix (M = M^T).
The order of the resultant matrix from multiplying matrices A (order m x n) and B (order n x p) is m x p. If we consider transposes, the product B^T A^T has an order of p x m since B^T has the order p x n and A^T has n x m. When decomposing A into symmetric and skew-symmetric components, the order remains unchanged, but operations like transposing affect the arrangement and not the order .
The diagonal elements of a skew-symmetric matrix are zero because the condition a_ij = -a_ji implies that a_ii = -a_ii, which can only be true if a_ii = 0 for all i. This property influences its eigenvalues, which must be purely imaginary or zero, since for a real skew-symmetric matrix, if λ is an eigenvalue, so is -λ, meaning real parts must cancel out if there are any .
Matrix multiplication is not commutative because the product AB does not generally equal BA. For example, if A is of order 2 x 3 and B is of order 3 x 2, AB will result in a 2 x 2 matrix, while BA will result in a 3 x 3 matrix, thus showing that AB ≠ BA . The specific entries and products within these resultant matrices depend on the elements of A and B, emphasizing the non-commutativity through differing dimensions and values .
Matrix transpose affects multiplication such that the transpose of a product AB is the product of the transposes with the order reversed: (AB)^T = B^T A^T. Hence, if you take the transpose of two matrices before multiplication, the resultant matrix will not be the direct transpose of the product due to the reversed order of multiplication . Specifically, multiplying two transposed matrices results in the matrix (B^T A^T) when A and B are multiplied first (AB).
For a square matrix A, (A - A^T) results in a skew-symmetric matrix because (A - A^T)^T = A^T - (A^T)^T = A^T - A = -(A - A^T). This satisfies the definition of a skew-symmetric matrix because it equals the negative of its transpose .
The identity matrix serves as the multiplicative identity in matrix operations, meaning that for any matrix A, AI = IA = A, where I is the identity matrix of the appropriate order. This pivotal property ensures that the structure and order of a matrix remain unchanged when multiplied by an identity matrix, emphasizing its role as an element that retains dimensions and values during multiplication .
A matrix that is both symmetric and skew-symmetric must be a zero matrix. This is because for A to be symmetric, A^T = A, and for it to be skew-symmetric, A^T = -A. The only solution that satisfies both conditions for all i, j is when every element of A is zero, making it a zero matrix .
A symmetric matrix is one where the transpose is equal to the matrix itself (A^T = A) and all elements equidistant from the main diagonal are equal in magnitude and sign . A skew-symmetric matrix is one where the transpose equals the negative of the matrix (A^T = -A), meaning elements equidistant from the main diagonal are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. All diagonal elements of a skew-symmetric matrix are zero . Any square matrix A can be decomposed into the sum of a symmetric matrix and a skew-symmetric matrix: A = (A + A^T)/2 + (A - A^T)/2 .
