Deduce $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$ or the simple parity-check matrix just from the final matrix-vector product equations

A linear combination like $A_{1}+ A_{2}$ serves as a backup of $A_{1}$ when $A_{2}$ is known, and serves as a backup of $A_{2}$ when $A_{1}$ is known. As a result of linearity, any two out of $A_{1}x$,...

How to compute $RA$ in $O(n^2)$ operations instead of $O(n^3)$ using Householder reflection

I am currently writing a program that performs QR decomposition on a matrix $A$. The guidelines to my assignment tell me that once I calculate $R$ using Householder reflections, there is a way to ...

Projection of vector

The projection of a vector $x$ onto a vector $u$ is $proj_u(x) =\frac{\langle x, u \rangle}{\langle u, u \rangle}u.$ Projection onto $u$ is given by matrix multiplication $proj_u(x)=Px$ where $P=\frac{...

Interpretation of QR "values" (a la singular values)?

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ with $m>n$ and $\text{rank}A=n$. There exists $\hat{Q}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ with orthonormal columns and $\hat{R}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ upper triangular ...

Equation for Counting Unique RREF "Cases" for any (m x n) Matrix

Given a real matrix $A$ of size $(m \times n)$, I am seeking to determine the number of unique reduced row echelon form (RREF) "Cases" that exist for a given matrix size. Two RREF matrices ...

How to derive the relation about Jordan decomposition of a matrix?

Assume that $v$ is an eigenvector with an eigenvalue of $0$ in matrix $H$, and its Jordan decomposition $H^J=SHS^{-1}$ satisfies $$ H^J=\left( \begin{matrix} 0& 1& \cdots& 0\\ 0& ...

Norm inequality for eigendecomposition and oblique projectors

Consider a stochastic matrix R which permits an eigendecomposition into oblique projectors, $$R = \sum_{\lambda} \lambda C_{\lambda}$$ I've observed the following 2-norm inequality in a number of $R$ ...

Inverting a specific symmetric matrix preserves its zero entries

Suppose $S$ is an invertible symmetric matrix with the following property: For the entry in the $i$th row and $j$th column, if $|i-j|$ is an odd number then $S_{ij} = 0$; if $|i-j|$ is an even number ...

In what sense are similar matrices "the same," and how can this be generalized?

I sort of intuitively see why we care about similar matrices, i.e., when $A=S^{-1}BS$ for some invertible matrix $S$. But I want to make this intuition more precise and abstract. Matrices: First of ...
