Conjugate transpose. In mathematics, the conjugate transpose, also known as the Hermitian transpose, of an complex matrix is an matrix obtained by transposing and applying complex conjugation to each entry (the complex conjugate of being , for real numbers and ). There are several notations, such as or , [1] , [2] or (often in physics) .
Block matrix. hide. In mathematics, a block matrix or a partitioned matrix is a matrix that is interpreted as having been broken into sections called blocks or submatrices. [1] [2] Intuitively, a matrix interpreted as a block matrix can be visualized as the original matrix with a collection of horizontal and vertical lines, which break it up ...
Transpose The transpose AT of a matrix A can be obtained by reflecting the elements along its main diagonal. Repeating the process on the transposed matrix returns the elements to their original position.
In linear algebra, the Cholesky decomposition or Cholesky factorization (pronounced / ʃəˈlɛski / shə-LES-kee) is a decomposition of a Hermitian, positive-definite matrix into the product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose, which is useful for efficient numerical solutions, e.g., Monte Carlo simulations.
Adjugate matrix In linear algebra, the adjugate of a square matrix A is the transpose of its cofactor matrix and is denoted by adj (A). [1] [2] It is also occasionally known as adjunct matrix, [3] [4] or "adjoint", [5] though the latter term today normally refers to a different concept, the adjoint operator which for a matrix is the conjugate transpose .
Permutation matrix. In mathematics, particularly in matrix theory, a permutation matrix is a square binary matrix that has exactly one entry of 1 in each row and each column with all other entries 0. [1] : 26 An n × n permutation matrix can represent a permutation of n elements.
In linear algebra, a column vector with elements is an matrix [1] consisting of a single column of entries, for example, Similarly, a row vector is a matrix for some , consisting of a single row of entries, (Throughout this article, boldface is used for both row and column vectors.) The transpose (indicated by T ...
Parity-check matrix In coding theory, a parity-check matrix of a linear block code C is a matrix which describes the linear relations that the components of a codeword must satisfy. It can be used to decide whether a particular vector is a codeword and is also used in decoding algorithms.
