Given a $4 \times 4$ matrix $S$ over a commutative ring $R$. I want to consider it as a $2\times 2$ matrix over $M_2(R)$. Lets say $S=\left(\begin{array}{cc} A&B \\\ C&D\end{array}\right)$ ...

Given matrices $$A_i= \biggl(\begin{matrix} 0 & B_i \\ B_i^T & 0 \end{matrix} \biggr)$$ where $B_i$ are real matrices and $i=1,2,\ldots,N$, how to prove the following? $$\det \big( I + e^...

Suppose we have a block-diagonal matrix $M$, but the block diagonal structure is not immediately apparent from looking at the matrix because the rows/columns are shuffled. I wish to find a reordering ...

Let $X,Y\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be symmetric matrices. You may assume that $X$ is positive semidefinite and $Y$ negative semidefinite, if needed, but not that they are invertible. I would like to ...

Let us assume that we have a full-rank $(n\cdot l)\times k$ matrix, $\boldsymbol{H}$, with no specific structure (e.g., a realization of a Gaussian i.i.d. random matrix), and an $m\times (n\cdot l)$ ...

I want to solve the usual $A x = b$ system. In block form: $$ \begin{bmatrix} B & c \\ c^{T} & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x' \\ x_{n+1} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} b' \\ b_{n+1} \end{...
