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.

Is there a name for matrices of the form $a_{ij}=\frac{1}{a_{ji}}$?
Note that you are considering currency exchange matrices where $R_{ij} R_{ji} = 1$, which one could call perfect currency exchange matrices. … I would have written $R_{ij} R_{ji} \leq 1$ instead, in order to include the (reciprocal) perfect currency exchange matrices, too. …

Spectral radius of a rank-1 perturbation
To complement Christian's comment, since the spectral radius is upper-bounded by the spectral norm,
$$\begin{aligned} \rho \left( {\bf A} + {\bf u} {\bf v}^\top \right) &\leq \left\| {\bf A} + {\bf u} …

Spectral radius of a rank-1 perturbation
Arguably, the simplest case is where the matrix $\bf A$ is symmetric and positive semidefinite (PSD) and ${\bf u} = {\bf v}$, which ensures that the eigenvalues of the rank-$1$ update are in $\Bbb R_0 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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
