SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between four matrices: A, C, D, and F, specifically focusing on the equation A^n = C * D^n * F. It is established that C is the inverse of F, denoted as C * F = F * C = I, where I is the identity matrix. The challenge lies in understanding how this inverse relationship supports the equation A^n = C * D^n * F, particularly when it is noted that this equation does not hold for arbitrary matrices C and F. The participant concludes that the relationship can be expressed through the manipulation of matrix products, leading to the formulation A^n = (CDF)^n.

Hi, I have a problem with an argument here.

I am given 4 Matrixes, A, C, D and F. see attachment..

I can then see that A^n = C*D^n*F = some matrix with a Fibonacci-serie in it.

I can also see that C*F=F*C=I or C is the inverse of F

My problem is to relate these two:
How can the fact that C is the inverse of F explain that A^n = C*D^n*F ?

NB. A^n = C*D^n*F is NOT true for any two C and F, C^-1=F, which in my mind make it even harder to see the relation.

I can't see the attachment, but I'm guessing this is to do with the idea that A^n = (CDF)^n = (CDF)(CDF)(CDF)(CDF)...(CDF) = CD(FC)D(FC)D(FC)D(FC)D(FC)D...DF = CDIDIDIDIDIDID...DF = CDDDDD...DF = CD^nF

I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what it is you're stuck on, but hopefully that will help.
 
I think that's it, thanks a lot.
