They have the same number of rows and the same number of columns (i.e. same size). 2. The corresponding entry are identical. kshum ENGG2013 9 Matrix addition and scalar multiplication • We can add two matrices if they have the same size • To multiply a matrix by a real number, we just multiply all entries in the matrix by that number. kshum ENGG2013 10 Matrix multiplication • Given an mn matrix A and a pq matrix B, their product AB is defined if n=p. • If n = p, we define their product, say C = AB, by computing the (i,j)-entry in C as the dot product of the i-th row of A and the j-th row of B. m q kshum mn ENGG2013 pq 11 Examples is undefined. is undefined. kshum ENGG2013 12 Square matrix • A matrix with equal number of columns and rows is called a square matrix. • For square matrices of the same size, we can freely multiply them without worrying whether the product is well-defined or not. – Because multiplication is always well-defined in this case. • The entries with the same column and row index are called the diagonal entries. – For example: kshum ENGG2013 13 Compatibility with function composition Multiplied by Multiplied by Multiplied by kshum ENGG2013 14 Order does matter in multiplication Rotate 90 degrees Reflection around x-axis Multiplied by Multiplied by Are they the same? kshum Reflection around x-axis Rotate 90 degrees Multiplied by Multiplied by ENGG2013 15 Non-commutativity • For real numbers, we have 35 = 53. – Multiplication of real numbers is commutative. • For matrices, in general AB BA. – Multiplication of matrices is non-commutative. – For example kshum ENGG2013 16 Associativity • For real numbers, we have (34)5 = 3(45). – Multiplication of real numbers is associative. • For any three matrices A, B, C, it is always true that (AB)C = A(BC), provided that the multiplications are well-defined. – Multiplication of matrices is associative. kshum ENGG2013 17 INVERTIBLE MATRIX kshum ENGG2013 18 Identity matrix • A square matrix whose diagonal entries are all one, and off-diagonal entries are all zero, is called an identity matrix. • We usually use capital letter I for identity matrix, or add a subscript and write In if we want to stress that the size is nn. kshum ENGG2013 19 Multiplication by identity matrix is trivial • Identity matrix is like a do-nothing process. – There is no change after multiplication by the identity matrix Multiplied by • IA = A for any A. • BI = B for any B. kshum ENGG2013 20 Invertible matrix • Given an nn matrix A, if we can find a matrix A’, such that then A is said to be invertible, or non-singular. • This matrix A’ is called an inverse of A. Multiplied by Multiplied by A A’ Multiplied by In kshum ENGG2013 21 Example implies kshum Rotate 90 CW Rotate 90 CCW Multiplied by Multiplied by ENGG2013 is invertible. 22 Matrix inverse may not exist • If matrix A induces a many-to-one mapping, then we cannot hope for any inverse. has no inverse kshum ENGG2013 23 Naïve method for computing matrix inverse • Consider • Want to find A’ such that A A’= I • Solve for p, q, r, s in kshum ENGG2013 24 Uniqueness of matrix inverse • Before we discuss how to compute matrix inverse, we first show there is at most one A’ such that A A’ = A’ A = I. • Suppose on the contrary that there is another matrix A’’ such that A A’’ = A’’ A = I. • We want to prove that A’ = A’’. kshum ENGG2013 25 Proof of uniqueness Defining property of A’’ Multiply by A’ from the left I times anything is the same thing Matrix multiplication is associative Defining property of A’ I times anything is the same thing kshum ENGG2013 26 Notation • Since the matrix inverse (if exists) is unique, we use the symbol A-1 to represent the unique matrix which satisfies • We say that A-1 is the inverse of A. kshum ENGG2013 27 A convenient fact • To check that a matrix B is the inverse of A, it is sufficient to check either 1. BA = I, or 2. AB = I. • It can be proved that (1) implies (2), and (2) implies (1). – The details is left as exercise. kshum ENGG2013 28 GAUSS-JORDAN ELIMINATION kshum ENGG2013 29 Row operation using matrix • Recall that there are three kind of elementary row operations 1. Row exchange 2. Multiply a row by a non-zero constant 3. Replace a row by the sum of itself and a constant multiple of another row. • We can perform elementary row operation by matrix multiplication (from the left). • All three kinds of operation are invertible. kshum ENGG2013 30 Row exchange • Example: exchange row 2 and row 3 Multiply the same matrix from the left again, we get back the original matrix. kshum ENGG2013 31 Multiply a row by a constant • Multiply the first row by -1. Multiply the same matrix from the left again, we get back the original matrix. kshum ENGG2013 32 Row replacement • Add the first row to the second row Multiply by another matrix from the left to undo kshum ENGG2013 33 Elementary matrix (I) • Three types of elementary matrices Col. j Col. i 1. Exchange row i and row j Row i Row j kshum ENGG2013 34 Elementary matrix (II) Col. i 2. Multiply row i by m Row i kshum ENGG2013 35 Elementary matrix (III) Col. j Col. i 3. Add s times row i to row j Row i Row j kshum ENGG2013 36 Row reduction • A series of row reductions is the same as multiplying from the left a series of elementary matrices. … E1, E2, E3, … are elementary matrices. kshum ENGG2013 37 If we can row reduce to identity • Then A is non-singular, or invertible. (Matrix multiplication is associative) kshum ENGG2013 38 Gauss-Jordan elimination • It is convenient to append an identity matrix to the right • We can interpret it as If we can row reduce A to the identity by a series of row operations then we can apply the same series of row operations to I and obtain the inverse of A. kshum ENGG2013 39 Algorithm • Input: an nn matrix A. • Create an n 2n matrix M – The left half is A – The right half is In • Try to reduce the expanded matrix M such that the left half is equal to In. • If succeed, the right half of M is the inverse of A. • If you cannot reduce the left half of M to , then A is not invertible, a.k.a. singular. kshum ENGG2013 40 Example • Find the inverse of 1. Create a 36 matrix 2. After some row reductions we get • Answer: kshum ENGG2013 41
