To answer this question , some mathematical theorems can be useful. In particular, the theorem of localization of the characteristic numbers (or roots) of matrices proved by Gershgorin is most appropriate. This theorem, applied to Hermitian matrices, states that the region of localization of the roots of the secular equation (37) of the order n satisfies the following inequality ("Gershgorin circles" on the complex plane) ... 

If two square matrices of the same size can be multiplied, then a square matrix can be multiplied into itself to obtain A, A, or A". A is the square root of A and the nth root of A". A number has only two square roots, but a matrix has infinitely many square roots. This will be demonstrated in the problems at the end of this chapter. 

But in order for a matrix to have a multiple root, it is necessary that its elements satisfy a certain algebraic relation to have a triple root they must satisfy two relations, and so forth for roots of higher order. Thus, if a matrix is considered as a point in 2-space, only those matrices that lie on a certain algebraic variety have multiple roots. Clearly, if the elements of a matrix are selected at random from any reasonable distribution, the probability that the matrix selected will have multiple roots is zero. Moreover, even if the matrix itself should have, the occurrence of any rounding errors would almost certainly throw the matrix off the variety and displace the roots away from one... 

Diagonal matrices are handy when individual rows or columns of a matrix are to be multiplied by different scalar factors si...sn. One typical example is the normalisation of B so that the square root of the sum of all squared elements in, for example, each row of B becomes one, i.e. unity length of each row vector. 

If columns (or rows) of X are normalised to the square root of the sum of their squared elements (i.e. to unity length), the matrix is called orthonormal. Recall that earlier this kind of normalisation was solved most elegantly by right (left) multiplication with a diagonal matrix comprising the appropriate normalisation coefficients. See the section introducing diagonal matrices for more details. 

When expanded out, the determinant is a polynomial of degree n in the variable and it has n real roots if ff and S are both Hermitian matrices, and S is positive definite. Indeed, if S were not positive definite, this would signal that the basis functions were not all linearly independent, and that the basis was defective. If takes on one of the roots of Eq. (1.16) the matrix ff — is of rank...

A unitary matrix may therefore be considered a kind of square root of unity, often complex-valued. Unitary matrices with all real elements are called orthogonal O, and satisfy a property analogous to (S9.1-12) ... 

We start with a short history of the polynomial-root finding problem that will explain the eminent role of matrices for numerical computations by example. 

While the drug release from wax matrix tablets followed the square root of time relationship, approximately zero-order release of ephedrine hydrochloride and procaine hydrochloride could be obtained with multi-layered matrices of hydrogenated castor oil containing different concentrations of the active compound in each layer. 

The augmented matrices P, P and P are obtained by adding two columns to each matrix P, P and P in the first column there is the addition of the square roots of vertex degrees 8 and in the second column the square roots of the van der Waals radii of the atoms. The corresponding sparse path matrices P, P and P of dimension Ax A are defined as the following ... 

There is also a more general result, that if two matrices share a nested sequence of invariant subspaces, all of their products also share these subspaces, and the nth roots of the eigenvalues associated with the components within it will not exceed the eigenvalues of the originals. The proof is technical and can be found in Appendix 1 Theorem 4. 

This is what the joint spectral radius analysis does. The joint spectral radius of the two matrices L and R, is defined as the limit, as n tends to oo, of the value of the nth root of the largest dominant eigenvalue of any of the matrices formed by taking all possible product sequences of length n of L and R. 

On each element, i, Np interior collocation points are chosen as the roots of an Npth degree orthogonal polynomial [65]. The first- and second-order differentials with respect to space are then approximated using two matrices, A and B, obtained by solving the Gaussian-Jacobi quadratures [63,65]. For boimdary problems, the endpoints can be included in the calculation of the spatial derivatives. Thus, at the fcth collocation point on the zth element, we have...
