Matrix Row & Column Operations












-1














Let $A$ be an $m times n$ matrix. Then by applying a sequence of row and column operations, $A$ can be reduced to the following form
begin{pmatrix}
I_r & O_{r times n - r}\
O_{m - r times r} &O_{m - r times n - r}
end{pmatrix}

Above is indeed a big $m times n$ matrix with entries a11, a12, a21, a22.



$O$ is a Zero matrix.



I don't get how we are getting matrix within a matrix by transformations?

    The "matrix in a matrix" is just notation for looking at different submatricse. It helps make it easier to talk about the structure of certain parts of a matrix. The wikipedia page on block matrices may be of interest.

  • Someone also tell me how can I form matrix itself in the question by Mobile App?
