A quartic surface which is the locus of zeros of the determinant of a symmetric 4×4 matrix of linear forms. A general symmetroid has 10 ordinary double points (Jessop 1916, ...

The characteristic equation is the equation which is solved to find a matrix's eigenvalues, also called the characteristic polynomial. For a general k×k matrix A, the ...

To solve the system of differential equations (dx)/(dt)=Ax(t)+p(t), (1) where A is a matrix and x and p are vectors, first consider the homogeneous case with p=0. The ...

For an n×n matrix, let S denote any permutation e_1, e_2, ..., e_n of the set of numbers 1, 2, ..., n, and let chi^((lambda))(S) be the character of the symmetric group ...

A rewriting of a given quantity (e.g., a matrix) in terms of a combination of "simpler" quantities.

A fixed point for which the stability matrix has both eigenvalues negative, so lambda_1<lambda_2<0.

A fixed point for which the stability matrix has both eigenvalues positive, so lambda_1>lambda_2>0.

The symmetric successive overrelaxation (SSOR) method combines two successive overrelaxation method (SOR) sweeps together in such a way that the resulting iteration matrix is ...

The natural norm induced by the L1-norm is called the maximum absolute column sum norm and is defined by ||A||_1=max_(j)sum_(i=1)^n|a_(ij)| for a matrix A. This matrix norm ...

Sylvester's criterion states that a matrix M is positive definite iff the determinants associated with all upper-left submatrices of M are positive.
