Questions where the notion matrix has an important or crucial role (for the latter, note the tag matrix-theory for potential use). Matrices appear in various parts of mathematics, and this tag is typically combined with other tags to make the general subject clear, such as an appropriate top-level tag ra.rings-and-algebras, co.combinatorics, etc. and other tags that might be applicable. There are also several more specialized tags concerning matrices.

Calculate percentage of symmetry of a given matrix
Consider the following $2 \times 2$ matrix and its decomposition in a "natural" orthonormal basis.
$$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1\\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0 & 0\end{bmatrix} + \begin{b …

How to calculate $y^T \mbox{diag}(A^T B A) \,y$ efficiently?
$$\mathrm y^\top \mbox{diag}(\mathrm A^\top \mathrm B \,\mathrm A) \,\mathrm y = \sum_{k=1}^n \mathrm e_k^\top\mathrm A^\top \mathrm B \,\mathrm A \,\mathrm e_k \, y_k^2 = \sum_{k=1}^n \mathrm a_k^\to …

Maximise singular value decay by sparse matrix approximation
Maximizing the "decay" of the singular values could be thought of as minimizing the (numerical) rank. Hence, I believe that the original problem could be rephrased as follows:
Given $\mathrm A \in …

Large power of an adjacency matrix
Since the adjacency matrix $\mathrm A$ is not symmetric, we have a directed graph.
Given a positive integer $k$, the $(i,j)$-th entry of $\mathrm A^k$ gives us the number of directed walks of lengt …

Do these matrices have a name?
the Sylvester construction
$$\mathrm H_{2k} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathrm H_k & \mathrm H_k\\ \mathrm H_k & -\mathrm H_k\end{bmatrix} \qquad \qquad \qquad \mathrm H_1 = 1$$

Sparse matrix approximation using only a few dense columns (or rows)
Selecting $s \leq n$ rows can be done by left-multiplying $\rm A$ by a Boolean diagonal matrix with $s$ ones on its main diagonal. Hence, we have the following Boolean optimization problem

Upper bound on the number of non-zero entries of the product of sparse matrices
Rephrasing:
Given matrices $\mathrm A_1 \in \mathbb R^{m \times k}$ and $\mathrm A_2 \in \mathbb R^{k \times n}$, is there an upper bound on the number of nonzero entries of the $m \times n$ matrix … Let Boolean matrices $\mathrm B_1 \in \{0,1\}^{m \times k}$ and $\mathrm B_2 \in \{0,1\}^{k \times n}$ be obtained by applying the function
