Diagonally Dominant Matrix - Examples

Examples

The matrix

\mathbf A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 & 1\\ 1 & -3 & 2\\ -1 & 2 & 4\end{bmatrix}

gives

since
since
since .

Because the magnitude of each diagonal element is greater than or equal to the sum of the magnitude of other elements in the row, A is diagonally dominant.

The matrix

\mathbf B = \begin{bmatrix} -2 & 2 & 1\\ 1 & 3 & 2\\ 1 & -2 & 0\end{bmatrix}

But here,

since
since
since .

Because and are less than the sum of the magnitude of other elements in their respective row, B is not diagonally dominant.

The matrix

\mathbf C = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 2 & 1\\ 1 & 6 & 2\\ 1 & -2 & 5\end{bmatrix}

gives

since
since
since .

Because the magnitude of each diagonal element is greater than the sum of the magnitude of the other elements in the row, C is strictly diagonally dominant.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    “Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
