  2. Determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

    There are various equivalent ways to define the determinant of a square matrix A, i.e. one with the same number of rows and columns: the determinant can be defined via the Leibniz formula, an explicit formula involving sums of products of certain entries of the matrix. The determinant can also be characterized as the unique function depending ...

  3. Square root of a 2 by 2 matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_2_by_2_matrix

    In many cases, such a matrix R can be obtained by an explicit formula. Square roots that are not the all-zeros matrix come in pairs: if R is a square root of M, then −R is also a square root of M, since (−R)(−R) = (−1)(−1)(RR) = R 2 = M. A 2×2 matrix with two distinct nonzero eigenvalues has four square roots.

  4. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Jacobian_matrix_and_determinant

    When this matrix is square, that is, when the function takes the same number of variables as input as the number of vector components of its output, its determinant is referred to as the Jacobian determinant. Both the matrix and (if applicable) the determinant are often referred to simply as the Jacobian in literature. [4]

    The determinant of the 0-by-0 matrix is 1 as follows regarding the empty product occurring in the Leibniz formula for the determinant as 1. This value is also consistent with the fact that the identity map from any finite-dimensional space to itself has determinant 1, a fact that is often used as a part of the characterization of determinants.

  6. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

    where adj(A) denotes the adjugate matrix, det(A) is the determinant, and I is the identity matrix. If det(A) is nonzero, then the inverse matrix of A is = ⁡ (). This gives a formula for the inverse of A, provided det(A) ≠ 0.

  7. Minor (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_(linear_algebra)

    Let A be an m × n matrix and k an integer with 0 < k ≤ m, and k ≤ n.A k × k minor of A, also called minor determinant of order k of A or, if m = n, the (n − k) th minor determinant of A (the word "determinant" is often omitted, and the word "degree" is sometimes used instead of "order") is the determinant of a k × k matrix obtained from A by deleting m − k rows and n − k columns.

  8. Leibniz formula for determinants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for...

    In algebra, the Leibniz formula, named in honor of Gottfried Leibniz, expresses the determinant of a square matrix in terms of permutations of the matrix elements. If A {\displaystyle A} is an n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} matrix, where a i j {\displaystyle a_{ij}} is the entry in the i {\displaystyle i} -th row and j {\displaystyle j} -th ...

  9. Jacobi's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi's_formula

    In matrix calculus, Jacobi's formula expresses the derivative of the determinant of a matrix A in terms of the adjugate of A and the derivative of A. [ 1 ] If A is a differentiable map from the real numbers to n × n matrices, then
