A square matrix which is not reducible is said to be irreducible.

The (n+1)×(n+1) tridiagonal matrix (also called the Clement matrix) defined by S_n=[0 n 0 0 ... 0; 1 0 n-1 0 ... 0; 0 2 0 n-2 ... 0; | | ... ... ... |; 0 0 0 n-1 0 1; 0 0 0 0 ...

A pair of matrices ND^(-1) or D^(-1)N, where N is the matrix numerator and D is the denominator.

A set M of all polynomials in s variables, x_1, ..., x_s such that if P, P_1, and P_2 are members, then so are P_1+P_2 and QP, where Q is any polynomial in x_1, ..., x_s.

A basis of a modular system M is any set of polynomials B_1, B_2, ... of M such that every polynomial of M is expressible in the form R_1B_1+R_2B_2+..., where R_1, R_2, ... ...

The ring R[x] of polynomials in a variable x.

A module taking its coefficients in a ring R is called a module over R or R-module.

The vector r from the origin to the current position. It is also called the position vector. The derivative of r satisfies ...

A matrix for which horizontal and vertical dimensions are not the same (i.e., an m×n matrix with m!=n).

A p×q submatrix of an m×n matrix (with p<=m, q<=n) is a p×q matrix formed by taking a block of the entries of this size from the original matrix.
