Special type of Matrices

11 Row matrix a type of matrix consisting of only

one row The number of columns doesnotmatter
Example I 4 1 2 matrix
4 6 8 4 3 matrix
This are also called rowvector

2 Column matrix type of matrix consisting of

a
only one column The number of rows does not
matter
Example
f 2 7 matrix

3 1 matrix
fly
This also called columnvector
are

g Zero matrix atype of matrix where all the

elements are zero
Example o 03 883 8
4 Null Matrix of matrix when there is
a type no
element present That is
A is considered a null matrix

g Rectangular matrix a type of matrix that consists

In number of rows and n number of columns Mxn
Example of size
f
I 4 3 rectangular matrix or
2 I 6 order 2 3
rectangular matrix of size or
Ig Ig order 4 2
a Square Matrix a type of rectangular matrix where
the number of rows equals the number of
columns

Example
f 3 2 2 matrix fog 9g Ig 3m
a3tri

7 Identity Matrix a type of matrix where the main

diagonal elements are all equal to't and the rest
of the elements are zero
Example
f Ian

8 Diagonal Matrix a type of matrix where the main
diagonal one of any values but all remaining elements
are all equal to zero

Example do 88 maindiagonalhas

are zero

9 Symmetric Matrix a type of matrix where the

transpose of a given matrix is the same oritself
That is AT A or A A
superscript Tor 1 indicates transpose of a matrix
