| In [[mathematics]], a [[matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] is '''conformable''' if its dimensions are suitable for defining some operation (''e.g.'' addition, multiplication, etc.).
| |
| | |
| ==Examples==
| |
| * In order to be conformable to addition or subtraction, matrices need to have the same dimensions. Thus ''A'', ''B'' and ''C'' all must have dimensions ''m'' × ''n'' in the equation
| |
| | |
| ::<math>A + B = C</math>
| |
| | |
| :or | |
| | |
| ::<math>A - B = C</math> | |
| | |
| :for some fixed ''m'' and ''n''.
| |
| | |
| * For [[matrix multiplication]], consider the equation
| |
| | |
| ::<math>AB = C.</math>
| |
| | |
| :If ''A'' has dimensions ''m'' × ''n'', then ''B'' has to have dimensions ''n'' × ''p'' for some ''p'', so that ''C'' will have dimensions ''m'' × ''p''. That is, the number of columns in ''A'' must equal the number of rows in ''B'' for ''A'' and ''B'' to be conformable for multiplication in that sequence. | |
| | |
| * Since squaring a matrix involves multiplying it by itself (<math>A^2=AA</math>) a matrix must be ''m''×''m'' (that is, it must be a [[square matrix]]) to be conformable for squaring. Thus for example only a square matrix can be [[Idempotent matrix|idempotent]].
| |
| | |
| *Only a square matrix is conformable for [[matrix inversion]]. However, the [[Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse]] and other [[generalized inverse]]s do not have this requirement.
| |
| | |
| * Only a square matrix is conformable for [[matrix exponentiation]].

Hello and welcome. My name is Figures Wunder. What I love performing is taking part in baseball but I haven't made a dime with it. Years ago we moved to North Dakota and I love each day residing here. I am a meter reader but I strategy on altering it.
