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.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or properties:

    “When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.”
    —Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    “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)
