Nilpotent Matrix - Additional Properties

Additional Properties

  • If N is nilpotent, then I + N is invertible, where I is the n × n identity matrix. The inverse is given by
where only finitely many terms of this sum are nonzero.
  • If N is nilpotent, then
where I denotes the n × n identity matrix. Conversely, if A is a matrix and
for all values of t, then A is nilpotent.
  • Every singular matrix can be written as a product of nilpotent matrices.

    “The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
