Let \(A = LU\) be an \(LU\) factorization. Explain why A can be row reduced to U using only replacement operations. (This fact is the converse of wht was proved in the text.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

\(A\) can be row-reduced to \(U\).

Step by step solution

01

Analyze the equation \(A = LU\)

In the equation \(A = LU\), matrix \(L\) islower-triangular and invertible. Thus, by the inverse matrixtheorem, \(L\) is row-reduced to \(I\).

02

Check whether \(A\) is row-reduced

L is lower triangular unit matrix. It can now be reduced to I by adding suitable multiples of the row to the rows below it, beginning with the top row. Note that all of the described row operations done to L are row-replacement operations.

If elementary matrices \({E_1}\), \({E_2}\),…,\({E_p}\) implement these row-replacement operations, then

\(\begin{array}{c}{E_p}.....{E_3}{E_2}{E_1}A = \left( {{E_p}....{E_2}{E_1}} \right)LU\\ = IU\\ = U.\end{array}\)

This equation shows that \(A\) can be row-reduced to \(U\), using only replacement operations.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Solve the equation \(AB = BC\) for A, assuming that A, B, and C are square and Bis invertible.

In exercise 5 and 6, compute the product \(AB\) in two ways: (a) by the definition, where \(A{b_{\bf{1}}}\) and \(A{b_{\bf{2}}}\) are computed separately, and (b) by the row-column rule for computing \(AB\).

\(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{1}}}&{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{5}}&{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{2}}&{ - {\bf{3}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}&{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}&{\bf{1}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

In Exercises 1–9, assume that the matrices are partitioned conformably for block multiplication. Compute the products shown in Exercises 1–4.

2. \[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}E&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&F\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}A&B\\C&D\end{array}} \right]\]

Use matrix algebra to show that if A is invertible and D satisfies \(AD = I\) then \(D = {A^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\).

In Exercise 9 mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.

9. a. In order for a matrix B to be the inverse of A, both equations \(AB = I\) and \(BA = I\) must be true.

b. If A and B are \(n \times n\) and invertible, then \({A^{ - {\bf{1}}}}{B^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\) is the inverse of \(AB\).

c. If \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}a&b\\c&d\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(ab - cd \ne {\bf{0}}\), then A is invertible.

d. If A is an invertible \(n \times n\) matrix, then the equation \(Ax = b\) is consistent for each b in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{n}}}\).

e. Each elementary matrix is invertible.
