Examples and Special Cases
The following are special cases of band matrices:
- Diagonal matrices.
- Tridiagonal matrices.
- Pentadiagonal matrices.
- Upper and lower triangular matrices.
- Upper and lower Hessenberg matrices.
- Block-diagonal matrices.
- Shift matrices and shear matrices.
- Matrices in Jordan normal form.
- A skyline matrix, also called "variable band matrix" is a generalization of band matrix
The inverses of Lehmer matrices are constant tridiagonal matrices, and are thus band matrices.

Famous quotes containing the words examples, special and/or cases:
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
