  2. Behavior change method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_change_method

    Examples of well-known, and frequently applied, behavior change methods are fear appeals, persuasive communication, and modeling. The concept of a behavior change method can be illustrated, for example, using the metaphor of physical exercise. When a person wants to get larger biceps, the person can use a dumbbell and perform exercises. These ...

  3. Determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

    For example, the determinant of the complex conjugate of a complex matrix (which is also the determinant of its conjugate transpose) is the complex conjugate of its determinant, and for integer matrices: the reduction modulo of the determinant of such a matrix is equal to the determinant of the matrix reduced modulo (the latter determinant ...

  4. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Jacobian_matrix_and_determinant

    The Jacobian determinant is sometimes simply referred to as "the Jacobian". The Jacobian determinant at a given point gives important information about the behavior of f near that point. For instance, the continuously differentiable function f is invertible near a point p ∈ R n if the Jacobian determinant at p is non-zero.

  5. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

    The proof for Cramer's rule uses the following properties of the determinants: linearity with respect to any given column and the fact that the determinant is zero whenever two columns are equal, which is implied by the property that the sign of the determinant flips if you switch two columns.

  6. Leibniz formula for determinants - Wikipedia

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

    (In practical applications of numerical linear algebra, however, explicit computation of the determinant is rarely required.) See, for example, Trefethen & Bau (1997) . The determinant can also be evaluated in fewer than O ( n 3 ) {\displaystyle O(n^{3})} operations by reducing the problem to matrix multiplication , but most such algorithms are ...

  7. Vandermonde matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandermonde_matrix

    The determinant of a square Vandermonde matrix is called a Vandermonde polynomial or Vandermonde determinant.Its value is the polynomial = < ()which is non-zero if and only if all are distinct.

  8. Functional determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_determinant

    The most popular of which for computing functional determinants is the zeta function regularization. [1] For instance, this allows for the computation of the determinant of the Laplace and Dirac operators on a Riemannian manifold, using the Minakshisundaram–Pleijel zeta function. Otherwise, it is also possible to consider the quotient of two ...

  9. Rule of Sarrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Sarrus

    Rule of Sarrus: The determinant of the three columns on the left is the sum of the products along the down-right diagonals minus the sum of the products along the up-right diagonals. In matrix theory , the rule of Sarrus is a mnemonic device for computing the determinant of a 3 × 3 {\displaystyle 3\times 3} matrix named after the French ...
