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.

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
In other words, we left-multiply $\mathrm A$ by permutation matrices (whose inverses are their transposes) and by elementary matrices of the form
$$\mathrm E_{ij} := \mathrm I_n + \beta_{ij} \, \mathrm … Hence, the larger $n$, the sparser the 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. …

What is the term for this type of matrix?
When $b = 0$, we have an $n \times n$ symmetric arrowhead matrix. When $b \neq 0$, we have
$$\begin{bmatrix}
c & c & c & \cdots & c & c \\
c & a & b & \cdots & b & b \\
c & b & a & \cdots & b & b \\

Is this inequality involving the Frobenius norm right?
Given $\mathrm A \in \mathbb R^{m \times n}$ and $\mathrm B \in \mathbb R^{n \times p}$, let $\mathrm B \mathrm B^{\top} = \mathrm Q \Lambda \mathrm Q^{\top}$ be an eigendecomposition of $\mathrm B \m …

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 …

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 …
