In linear algebra, a matrix unit is a matrix with only one nonzero entry with value 1. The matrix unit with a 1 in the ith row and jth column is denoted as . For example, the 3 by 3 matrix unit with i = 1 and j = 2 is A vector unit is a standard unit vector. A single-entry matrix generalizes the matrix unit for matrices with only one nonzero entry of any value, not necessarily of value 1. The set of m by n matrix units is a basis of the space of m by n matrices. The product of two matrix units of the same square shape satisfies the relation where is the Kronecker delta. The group of scalar n-by-n matrices over a ring R is the centralizer of the subset of n-by-n matrix units in the set of n-by-n matrices over R. The matrix norm (induced by the same two vector norms) of a matrix unit is equal to 1. When multiplied by another matrix, it isolates a specific row or column in arbitrary position.

Statistical limits of dictionary learning: Random matrix theory and the spectral replica method

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

We consider increasingly complex models of matrix denoising and dictionary learning in the Bayes-optimal setting, in the challenging regime where the matrices to infer have a rank growing linearly with the system size. This is in contrast with most existin ...

Efficient Learning of a Linear Dynamical System with Stability Guarantees

We propose a principled method for projecting an arbitrary square matrix to the non- convex set of asymptotically stable matrices. Leveraging ideas from large deviations theory, we show that this projection is optimal in an information-theoretic sense and ...

Fast recovery and approximation of hidden Cauchy structure

Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or a property of such an object. For example, is a matrix with two rows and three columns. This is often referred to as a "two by three matrix", a " matrix", or a matrix of dimension . Without further specifications, matrices represent linear maps, and allow explicit computations in linear algebra.
