Matrix multiplication linear algebra

Note that the matrix of stoichiometric coefficients devotes a row to each of the N components and a column to each of the M reactions. We require the reactions to be independent. A set of reactions is independent if no member of the set can be obtained by adding or subtracting multiples of the other members. A set will be independent if every reaction contains one species not present in the other reactions. The student of linear algebra will understand that the rank of v must equal M. 

The limitation of transfer function representation becomes plain obvious as we tackle more complex problems. For complex systems with multiple inputs and outputs, transfer function matrices can become very clumsy. In the so-called modem control, the method of choice is state space or state variables in time domain—essentially a matrix representation of the model equations. The formulation allows us to make use of theories in linear algebra and differential equations. It is always a mistake to tackle modem control without a firm background in these mathematical topics. For this reason, we will not overreach by doing both the mathematical background and the control together. Without a formal mathematical framework, we will put the explanation in examples as much as possible. The actual state space control has to be delayed until after tackling classical transfer function feedback systems. 

If A has repeated eigenvalues (multiple roots of the characteristic polynomial), the result, again from introductory linear algebra, is the Jordan canonical form. Briefly, the transformation matrix P now needs a set of generalized eigenvectors, and the transformed matrix J = P 1 AP is made of Jordan blocks for each of the repeated eigenvalues. For example, if matrix A has three repealed eigenvalues A,j, the transformed matrix should appear as...

In Chapters 2 and 3, we discussed the rules related to solving systems of linear equations using elementary algebraic manipulation, including simple matrix operations. The past chapters have described the inverse and transpose of a matrix in at least an introductory fashion. In this installment we would like to introduce the concepts of matrix algebra and their relationship to multiple linear regression (MLR). Let us start with the basic spectroscopic calibration relationship ...

Although matrix multiplications, row reductions, and calculation of null spaces can be done by hand for small matrices, a computer with programs for linear algebra are needed for large matrices. Mathematica is very convenient for this purpose. More information about the operations of linear algebra can be obtained from textbooks (Strang, 1988), but this section provides a brief introduction to making calculations with Mathematica (Wolfram, 1999).
