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 ...

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 ...
