Augmented matrixIn linear algebra, an augmented matrix is a matrix obtained by appending the columns of two given matrices, usually for the purpose of performing the same elementary row operations on each of the given matrices. Given the matrices A and B, where the augmented matrix (A|B) is written as This is useful when solving systems of linear equations. For a given number of unknowns, the number of solutions to a system of linear equations depends only on the rank of the matrix representing the system and the rank of the corresponding augmented matrix.
Matrice inversibleEn mathématiques et plus particulièrement en algèbre linéaire, une matrice inversible (ou régulière ou encore non singulière) est une matrice carrée A pour laquelle il existe une matrice B de même taille n avec laquelle les produits AB et BA sont égaux à la matrice identité. Dans ce cas la matrice B est unique, appelée matrice inverse de A et notée B = A. Cette définition correspond à celle d’élément inversible pour la multiplication dans l’anneau des matrices carrées associé.
Coefficient matrixIn linear algebra, a coefficient matrix is a matrix consisting of the coefficients of the variables in a set of linear equations. The matrix is used in solving systems of linear equations. In general, a system with m linear equations and n unknowns can be written as where are the unknowns and the numbers are the coefficients of the system. The coefficient matrix is the m × n matrix with the coefficient a_ij as the (i, j)th entry: Then the above set of equations can be expressed more succinctly as where A is the coefficient matrix and b is the column vector of constant terms.
Matrice d'une application linéaireEn algèbre linéaire, la matrice d'une application linéaire est une matrice de scalaires qui permet de représenter une application linéaire entre deux espaces vectoriels de dimensions finies, étant donné le choix d'une base pour chacun d'eux. Soient : E et F deux espaces vectoriels sur un corps commutatif K, de dimensions respectives n et m ; B = (e, ... , e) une base de E, C une base de F ; φ une application de E dans F.
Defective matrixIn linear algebra, a defective matrix is a square matrix that does not have a complete basis of eigenvectors, and is therefore not diagonalizable. In particular, an n × n matrix is defective if and only if it does not have n linearly independent eigenvectors. A complete basis is formed by augmenting the eigenvectors with generalized eigenvectors, which are necessary for solving defective systems of ordinary differential equations and other problems.
