Topics in Inverse of a Matrix and Its Applications

1

Singular and Non-Singular Matrices

  • A square matrix is singular if its determinant is zero.
  • A matrix is non-singular if its determinant is non-zero.
  • Only non-singular matrices have inverses.
2

Minors and Cofactors

  • Minor of an element is the determinant of the submatrix formed by deleting its row and column.
  • Cofactor includes a sign based on the position: C_ij = (-1)^(i+j) × M_ij.
  • Cofactors are used to form the adjoint matrix.
3

Adjoint of a Matrix

  • Adjoint is the transpose of the cofactor matrix.
  • For a 2×2 matrix, swap diagonal elements and change signs of off-diagonals.
  • Adjoint is used in the formula for inverse: A⁻¹ = (1/|A|) Adj A.
4

Inverse of a Matrix

  • The inverse A⁻¹ satisfies AA⁻¹ = A⁻¹A = I.
  • A⁻¹ exists only if |A| ≠ 0.
  • Formula: A⁻¹ = (1/|A|) Adj A.
