Determinant of a $k \times k$ block matrix
Subtracting the last row of blocks from the first $k-1$ rows of blocks, we obtain
$$\begin{bmatrix}A-B & O & O & \dots & O & B-A\\ O & A-B & O & \dots & O & B-A\\ O & O & A-B & \dots & O & B-A\\ \vdo …

Decomposing a matrix into a product of sparse matrices
Given an invertible $n \times n$ matrix $\mathrm A$, we perform Gaussian elimination until we obtain a (nonsingular) diagonal matrix. In other words, we left-multiply $\mathrm A$ by permutation matric …

Is there a name for matrices of the form $a_{ij}=\frac{1}{a_{ji}}$?
Some call them currency exchange matrices. From Boyd & Vandenberghe's Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra:
6.7 Currency exchange matrix. We consider a set of $n$ currencies, labeled $1,\dots,n$. ( …

Positive definite matrices diagonalised by orthogonal matrices that are also involutions
Let $n \times n$ matrix $\rm A$ be symmetric and positive definite. Since $\rm A$ is symmetric, it is diagonalizable. Hence, there exists a (non-singular) matrix $\rm P$ such that $\mathrm A = \mathrm …
