This topic explains how to use the chol and eig functions to determine whether a matrix is symmetric positive definite (a symmetric matrix with all positive eigenvalues).

The statement is imprecise: eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix must be orthogonal to each other. Eigenvectors corresponding to the same eigenvalue …

Oct 25, 2020 · A real symmetric matrix is always orthogonally diagonalizable, meaning that there's a basis for $\mathbb R^n$ consisting of mutually perpendicular eigenvectors of the matrix. …

26 All the proofs here use algebraic manipulations. But I think it may be more illuminating to think of a symmetric matrix as representing an operator consisting of a rotation, an anisotropic …

The skew-symmetric matrices have arbitrary elements on one side with respect to the diagonal, and those elements determine the other triangle of the matrix. So they are in number of $ (n^2 …

The upper (or lower) triangular part of a symmetric matrix completely determines the other half. It is generally enlightening to look at low-dimensional examples to see a pattern:

Oct 13, 2017 · For a $3\times3$ determinant, symmetric or not, there is the fairly simple rule of Sarrus, but there is nothing as simple for larger determinants.

Oct 3, 2018 · A symmetric matrix is positive-definite if and only if its eigenvalues are all positive. The determinant is the product of the eigenvalues. A square matrix is invertible if and only if its …
