Addition matrix

The sum of two matrices is defined as the matrix whose elements are the sum of the elements of the two original matrices. Thus if we add matrix with elements Oij to matrix with elements, we get a matrix C whose elements c j are given by Eq, (15.2). 

Of course, the matrices must have the same order, i.e., they must have the same number of rows and columns. Most of the matrices used in this book will be square (same number of rows and columns), and they wilt usually be the same order as system (the number of inputs and outputs). If there are JV manipulated, variables and N controlled variables, the process is an th order system and the process transfer function matrix will be an x JV square matrix. 

The product of two matrices is defined by Eq. (15.5) below. If 4 and fi matrices 1 are multiplied to give a matrix Q,

The operation of matrix multiplication can be shown to be associative, meaning that X(YZ) = (XY)Z. But, it is not commutative, as in general we will have that XY YX. Matrix multiplication is distributive with respect to matrix addition, which implies that (X + Y)Z = XZ + YZ. When this expression is read from right to left, the process is called factoring-out [4]. 

SIMS is one of the only mass spectrometric techniques that allow solid samples to be analysed without any extraction of compounds or matrix addition. Generally, no specific preparation technique is required, and solid samples can directly be analysed if they are small enough to be fixed on the sample holder. In most cases, this means that the sample size must not be more than 1 cm. 

The operation of direct product of matrices is both associative and also distributive with respect to matrix addition, and hence finally... 

A vector can be thought of as a point in -dimensional space, although the graphical representation of such a point, when the dimension of the vector is greater than 3, is not feasible. The general rules for matrix addition, subtraction, and multiplication described in Section A.2 apply also to vectors. 

It is worthwhile mentioning that matrix addition can alternatively be performed by pre-selection of all cells of the prospective Y, assigning the array addition according to A3 C4+B3 C4 and applying the SHIFT+CTRL+ENTER key combination. Usually, this has no particular advantage.

Two factors are said to interact when the effect of one of them is different at different levels of the other. In general, when factors operate independently of each other, they do not exhibit interaction. As an example, consider that in a hypothetical reaction intended to improve the extraction of some metal from a sample matrix addition of 10 mg of a catalyst at a temperature of 25 °C increases the yield. We can try to predict what happens at 45 °C. If the yield decreases, it is a proof that an interaction between the factors catalyst and temperature exists. Why Well, answering this question is not an experimental design task rather, it is simply a chemical problem and it may be a challenge for chemists to explain it.
