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:

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

    Myths, as compared with folk tales, are usually in a special category of seriousness: they are believed to have “really happened,” or to have some exceptional significance in explaining certain features of life, such as ritual. Again, whereas folk tales simply interchange motifs and develop variants, myths show an odd tendency to stick together and build up bigger structures. We have creation myths, fall and flood myths, metamorphose and dying-god myths.
    Northrop Frye (1912–1991)

    Lovers’ quarrels are not generally about money. Divorce cases generally are.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
