Invertible matrix

In linear algebra, an n-by-n square matrix A is called invertible (also nonsingular or nondegenerate), if there exists an n-by-n square matrix B such that where In denotes the n-by-n identity matrix and the multiplication used is ordinary matrix multiplication. If this is the case, then the matrix B is uniquely determined by A, and is called the (multiplicative) inverse of A, denoted by A−1. Matrix inversion is the process of finding the matrix B that satisfies the prior equation for a given invertible matrix A. A square matrix that is not invertible is called singular or degenerate. A square matrix is singular if and only if its determinant is zero. Singular matrices are rare in the sense that if a square matrix's entries are randomly selected from any finite region on the number line or complex plane, the probability that the matrix is singular is 0, that is, it will "almost never" be singular. Non-square matrices (m-by-n matrices for which m ≠ n) do not have an inverse. However, in some cases such a matrix may have a left inverse or right inverse. If A is m-by-n and the rank of A is equal to n (n ≤ m), then A has a left inverse, an n-by-m matrix B such that BA = In. If A has rank m (m ≤ n), then it has a right inverse, an n-by-m matrix B such that AB = Im. While the most common case is that of matrices over the real or complex numbers, all these definitions can be given for matrices over any ring. However, in the case of the ring being commutative, the condition for a square matrix to be invertible is that its determinant is invertible in the ring, which in general is a stricter requirement than being nonzero. For a noncommutative ring, the usual determinant is not defined. The conditions for existence of left-inverse or right-inverse are more complicated, since a notion of rank does not exist over rings. The set of n × n invertible matrices together with the operation of matrix multiplication (and entries from ring R) form a group, the general linear group of degree n, denoted GLn(R). (Wikipedia).

Invertible Matrices correspond with Invertible Transformations **proof**

Invertible Matrices are an algebraic concept that helps us solve Linear Systems of Equations. Invertible Transformations are a geometric concept where we can "undo" a transformation. But in fact they coincide! In this video, we prove that if you have an invertible matrix, the transformatio

Description: Corresponding to our algebraic notion of invertibility, we want a geometric notion. Invertible transformations are defined, and then proven to be equivalent (thank goodness!) to invertible matrices when linear. Learning Objectives: 1) Define an invertible transformation 2) D

Inverse Matrix

In this neat video, I’m connecting two unexpected worlds of linear algebra. Namely, I show that if T is a linear transformation with matrix A, then the matrix of T^-1 (the inverse transformation) is simply A^-1 (the inverse of a matrix). The proof itself is simply gorgeous and uses a combi
