Let \(A\) be an \(n \times n\) matrix with triangular factorization \(L U .\) Show that \\[ \operatorname{det}(A)=u_{11} u_{22} \cdots u_{n n} \\]

Short Answer

Expert verified
Using the properties of determinants, we have \(\operatorname{det}(A) = \operatorname{det}(L) \times \operatorname{det}(U)\). Since L has ones on the diagonal, its determinant equals 1. Thus, \(\operatorname{det}(A) = u_{11}u_{22} \cdots u_{nn}\), which is the product of the diagonal elements of U.

Step by step solution

01

Understand triangular factorization

In the given problem, we have a square matrix A with triangular factorization LU, where L is a lower triangular matrix, and U is an upper triangular matrix. This means that A = LU where L has only elements below the diagonal and ones on the diagonal, and U has only elements above the diagonal and non-zero elements on the diagonal.
02

Apply properties of determinants

Applying the property det(A) * det(B) = det(AB) on the LU factorization of A, we can write: \[ \operatorname{det}(A) = \operatorname{det}(L) \times \operatorname{det}(U) \] Now, using the property that the determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of its diagonal elements, we can write: \[ \operatorname{det}(A) = (\underbrace{1\cdot1\cdots1}_{n \text{ times}}) \times (u_{11}u_{22} \cdots u_{nn}) \]
03

Simplify the expression

As we have n ones in the product of diagonal elements of L, it becomes: \[ \operatorname{det}(A) = 1 \times (u_{11}u_{22} \cdots u_{nn}) \] Finally, we obtain: \[ \operatorname{det}(A) = u_{11}u_{22} \cdots u_{nn} \] which is the required proof.

Let \(A=X Y^{T}\), where \(X\) is an \(m \times r\) matrix, \(Y^{T}\) is an \(r \times n\) matrix, and \(X^{T} X\) and \(Y^{T} Y\) are both nonsingular. Show that the matrix \\[ B=Y\left(Y^{T} Y\right)^{-1}\left(X^{T} X\right)^{-1} X^{T} \\] satisfies the Penrose conditions and hence must equal \(A^{+} .\) Thus, \(A^{+}\) can be determined from any factorization of this form.

Let \(A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}, B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times r},\) and \(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y} \in \mathbb{R}^{n} .\) Suppose that the product \(A \mathbf{x y}^{T} B\) is computed in the following ways: (i) \(\left(A\left(\mathbf{x y}^{T}\right)\right) B\) (ii) \(\quad(A \mathbf{x})\left(\mathbf{y}^{T} B\right)\) (iii) \(\left((A \mathbf{x}) \mathbf{y}^{T}\right) B\) (a) How many scalar additions and multiplications are necessary for each of these computations?
