Band Matrix - Examples and Special Cases

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:

    “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)

    “If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
