Types of Matrices Explained

This document defines and provides examples of different types of matrices: square matrices have the same number of rows and columns; diagonal matrices have non-zero entries only on the main diagonal; the transpose of a matrix switches the rows and columns; symmetric matrices are equal to their transpose; and skew-symmetric matrices are equal to the negative of their transpose with zeros on the main diagonal.

1.1.1 Type Of Matrices Square matrix A square matrix is the matrix that has n rows and n column(n n).

). For example: ,

Diagonal matrix Diagonal matrix is a square matrix with real numbers on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere. For example: ,

Transpose matrix Transpose matrix is the situation where row change to column A matrix where A(m n) AT(n A22= AT2

B23=

BT32 =

Symmetric matrix Symmetric matrix exist when a square matrix AT = A C= Observe that C=CT. CT =

Skew symmetric matrix Skew symmetric matrix exist when a square matrix AT= -A D= CT = -C =

In skew symmetric matrix the main diagonal must be zero.
