Proposition 8.4. Let \( A \) be an invertible \( n \times n \) -matrix. There is some permutation matrix \( P \) so that \( \left( {PA}\right) \left( {1 : k,1 : k}\right) \) is invertible for \( k = 1,\ldots, n \) .
Proof. The case \( n = 1 \) is trivial, and so is the case \( n = 2 \) (we swap the rows if necessary). If \( n \geq 3 \), we proceed by induction. Since \( A \) is invertible, its columns are linearly independent; in particular, its first \( n - 1 \) columns are also linearly independent. Delete the last column of \( ...

For every invertible \( n \times n \) -matrix \( A \), the following hold:\n\n(1) There is some permutation matrix \( P \), some upper-triangular matrix \( U \), and some unit lower-triangular matrix \( L \), so that \( {PA} = {LU} \) (recall, \( {L}_{ii} = 1 \) for \( i = 1,\ldots, n \) ).

Proposition 8.6. If an invertible real symmetric matrix \( A \) has an LU-decomposition, then A has a factorization of the form\n\n\[ A = {LD}{L}^{\top } \]\n\nwhere \( L \) is a lower-triangular matrix whose diagonal entries are equal to 1, and where \( D \) consists of the pivots. Furthermore, such a decomposition is...
Proof. If \( A \) has an \( {LU} \) -factorization, then it has an \( {LDU} \) factorization\n\n\[ A = {LDU} \]\n\nwhere \( L \) is lower-triangular, \( U \) is upper-triangular, and the diagonal entries of both \( L \) and \( U \) are equal to 1 .

Proposition 8.7. If \( A \) is the tridiagonal matrix above, then \( {\delta }_{k} = \det \left( {A\left( {1 : k,1 : k}\right) }\right) \) for \( k = 1,\ldots, n \) .
Proof. By expanding \( \det \left( {A\left( {1 : k,1 : k}\right) }\right) \) with respect to its last row, the proposition follows by induction on \( k \) .

Proposition 8.9. If \( A \) is a real symmetric positive definite matrix, then \( A\left( {1 : k,1 : k}\right) \) is symmetric positive definite and thus invertible for \( k = 1,\ldots, n \) .
Proof. Since \( A \) is symmetric, each \( A\left( {1 : k,1 : k}\right) \) is also symmetric. If \( w \in {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \), with \( 1 \leq k \leq n \), we let \( x \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) be the vector with \( {x}_{i} = {w}_{i} \) for \( i = 1,\ldots, k \) and \( {x}_{i} = 0 \) for \( i = k + 1,\ldots, n \) . Now si...

Theorem 8.10. (Cholesky factorization) Let \( A \) be a real symmetric positive definite matrix. Then there is some real lower-triangular matrix \( B \) so that \( A = B{B}^{\top } \) . Furthermore, \( B \) can be chosen so that its diagonal elements are strictly positive, in which case \( B \) is unique.
Proof. We proceed by induction on the dimension \( n \) of \( A \) . For \( n = 1 \), we must have \( {a}_{11} > 0 \) , and if we let \( \alpha = \sqrt{{a}_{11}} \) and \( B = \left( \alpha \right) \), the theorem holds trivially. If \( n \geq 2 \), as we explained above, again we must have \( {a}_{11} > 0 \), and we c...

Proposition 8.11. Let \( A \) be any \( n \times n \) real symmetric matrix. The following conditions are equivalent:\n\n(a) \( A \) is positive definite.\n\n(b) All principal minors of \( A \) are positive; that is: \( \det \left( {A\left( {1 : k,1 : k}\right) }\right) > 0 \) for \( k = 1,\ldots, n \) (Sylvester's cri...

By the Cholsesky decomposition, \( A(1 : k,1 \) : \( k) = {Q}^{\top }Q \) for some invertible matrix \( Q \), so \( \det \left( {A\left( {1...

Given an \( m \times n \) matrix \( A \), for any sequence of row operations \( {E}_{1},\ldots ,{E}_{k} \) , if \( P = {E}_{k}\cdots {E}_{1} \) and \( B = {PA} \), then the subspaces spanned by the rows of \( A \) and the rows of \( B \) are identical. Therefore, \( A \) and \( B \) have the same row ...
Proof. Since \( B = {PA} \), from a previous observation, the rows of \( B \) are linear combinations of the rows of \( A \), so the span of the rows of \( B \) is a subspace of the span of the rows of \( A \) . Since \( P \) is invertible, \( A = {P}^{-1}B \), so by the same reasoning the span of the rows of \( A \) i...

Proposition 8.14. Given any \( m \times n \) matrix \( A \), there is a sequence of row operations \( {E}_{1},\ldots ,{E}_{k} \) such that if \( P = {E}_{k}\cdots {E}_{1} \), then \( U = {PA} \) is a reduced row echelon matrix.
Proof. We proceed by induction on \( m \) . If \( m = 1 \), then either all entries on this row are zero, so \( A = 0 \), or if \( {a}_{j} \) is the first nonzero entry in \( A \), let \( P = \left( {a}_{j}^{-1}\right) \) (a \( 1 \times 1 \) matrix); clearly, \( {PA} \) is a reduced row echelon matrix.\n\nLet us now as...

Proposition 8.17. Given any homogeneous system \( {Ax} = 0 \) of \( m \) equations in \( n \) variables, if \( m < n \), then there is a nonzero vector \( x \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) such that \( {Ax} = 0 \) .
Proof. Convert the matrix \( A \) to a reduced row echelon matrix \( {A}^{\prime } \) . We know that \( {Ax} = 0 \) iff \( {A}^{\prime }x = 0 \) . If \( r \) is the number of pivots of \( {A}^{\prime } \), we must have \( r \leq m \), so by Theorem 8.16 we may assign arbitrary values to \( n - r > 0 \) nonpivot variabl...

Proof. First we prove that (a) implies (b). If (a) can be reduced to the identity by a sequence of row operations \( {E}_{1},\ldots ,{E}_{p} \), this means that \( {E}_{p}\cdots {E}_{1}A = I \) . Since each \( {E}_{i} \) is invertible, we get\n\n\[ A = {E}_{1}^{-1}\cdots {E}_{p}^{-1} \]\n\nwhere each \( {E}_{i}^{-1} \)...

Proof. Assume that the system \( {Ax} = b \) is solvable and let \( {x}_{0} \) and \( {x}_{1} \) be any two solutions so that \( A{x}_{0} = b \) and \( A{x}_{1} = b \) . Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get \[ A\left( {{x}_{1} - {x}_{0}}\right) = 0 \] which means that \( {x}_{1} - {x}_{0} \in \operato...

Proposition 8.25. If the field \( K \) is not of characteristic 2, then every transvection \( f \) of hyperplane \( H \) can be written as \( f = {d}_{2} \circ {d}_{1} \), where \( {d}_{1},{d}_{2} \) are dilatations of hyperplane \( H \) , where the direction of \( {d}_{1} \) can be chosen arbitrarily.
Proof. Pick some dilatation \( {d}_{1} \) of hyperplane \( H \) and scale factor \( \alpha \neq 0,1 \) . Then, \( {d}_{2} = f \circ {d}_{1}^{-1} \) leaves every vector in \( H \) fixed, and \( \det \left( {d}_{2}\right) = {\alpha }^{-1} \neq 1 \) .
