Transpose Definition and 93 Threads

Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other...

i-th column of ##cof~A## = $$ \begin{bmatrix} (-1)^{I+1} det~A_{1i} \\ (-1)^{I+2} det ~A_{2i}\\ \vdots \\ (-1)^{I+n} det ~A_{ni}\\ \end{bmatrix}$$ Therefore, the I-th row of ##(cof~A)^t## = ##\big[ (-1)^{I+1} det~A_{1i}, (-1)^{I+2} det ~A_{2i}, \cdots, (-1)^{I+n} det ~A_{ni} \big]## The I-th...

One way to express a function of a matrix A is by a power series (a Taylor expansion). It is not too difficult to show that two functions f(A) and g(A) with such a power series representation must commute, i.e. f(A)g(A) = g(A)f(A). But matrices typically do not commute with their own transpose...

While the prefix of the thread is Python, this could be easily generalised to any language. It is absolutely not the first time I am working with an array, but definitely the first time I am facing the task of defining the transpose of a non-square matrix. I have worked so much with arrays in...

Homework Statement Show that ##A## and ##A^T## have the same eigenvalues. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution If they have the same eigenvalues, then ##Ax = \lambda x## iff ##A^T x = \lambda x##. In other words, we have to show that ##|A - \lambda I| = 0## iff ##|A^T - \lambda I| =...

Hi PF! When proving ##\left(AB\right)^T = B^T A^T## I was thinking of writing ##\left(AB\right)_{ij} = A_{ik} B_{kj} = D_{ij}##. Then ##\left(D\right)^T_{ij} = D_{ji} = A_{jk} B_{ki} = A^TB^T## but clearly this is incorrect. Can someone tell me where my mistake is made? Thanks!

I have a problem of proving an identity about determinants. For ##A\in M_{m\times n}(\mathbb{R}),## a matrix with ##m## rows and ##n## columns, prove the following identity. $$|\det(A^tA)|=\sum_{1\le j_1\le ... \le j_n \le m} (det(A_{j_1...j_n}))^2$$ where ##A_{j_1...j_n}## is the matrix whose...

Hello, While studying dual vectors in general relativity, it was written as we all know that dual vectors (under Lorentz Transformation) transform as follows: \tilde{u}_{a} = \Lambda^{b}_{a}μ_{b} where \Lambda^{b}_{a}= η_{ac}L^{c}_{d}η^{db} I was wondering if one can prove the latter...

Hi Everyone, need some help to transpose (attached picts)Thanks very much in advance.

I'm using a book that has a loot of errors (luckly most of them are easy to recognize, like a = instead of a ≠ or viceversa, but some are way more serious), and I'm not sure if it's a new error or a thing I don't understand. Either I didn't understood all the steps of the proof or the correct...

Starting out a Lin Alg class - my prof wrote this on the board. (ABC-1Dt)t = DC-1BtAt On the right hand side, I get why D is D, why A and B are now both transpose, but why is C still inverse? I know the rule (D-1)t = (Dt)-1, but I do not see how the heck it applies here or what would make the...

Show that a matrix and its transpose have the same eigenvalues. I must show that det(A-λI)=det(A^t-λI) Since det(A)=det(A^t) →det(A-λI)=det((A-λI)^t)=det(A^t-λI^t)=det(A^t-λI) Thus, A and A^t have the same eigenvalues. Is the above enough to prove that a matrix and its transpose have the...

So I'm given a matrix A that is already in RREF and I'm supposed to find the null space of its transpose. So I transpose it. Do I RREF the transpose of it? Because if I transpose a matrix that's already in RREF, it's no longer in RREF. But if I RREF the transpose, it gives me a matrix with 2...

I'm trying to find a way to prove that the determinant of the transpose of an endomorphism is the determinant of the original linear map (i.e. det(A) = det(Aᵀ) in matrix language) using Dieudonne's definition of the determinant expressed in terms of an alternating bilinear form but am having...

Homework Statement I don't see how you multiply a matrix by its transpose. If a matrix is 3 x 2 then its transpose is 2 x 3. I thought you couldn't multiply matrices unless they have the same rows and columns.

In Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics, he develops the Dirac notation of bras and kets. In one part, he states (page 17): <B|X|A> = (<A|X^|B>)* = <A|X^|B>* where X^ denotes the Hermitian adjoint (the conjugate transpose) of the operator X. My question is, since a bra is the conjugate...
