1 Introduction to Matrices
1. Definition of Matrices
Matrices are used throughout discrete mathematics to express relationships between elements in sets.
Matrices will be used in models of communications networks and transportation systems. Many algorithms will
be developed that use these matrix models.
Definition 1

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. A matrix with m rows and n columns is called an m × n matrix.
The plural of matrix is matrices. A matrix with the same number of rows as columns is called square. We
use boldface uppercase letters to represent matrices.

Definition 2
Two matrices are equal if they have the same number of rows and the same number of columns and the
corresponding entries in every position are equal.

Example 1 (4 points) Define a size of m × n matrix.

Let m and n be positive integers and let
⎡ a11 a12 L a 1n ⎤

A= ⎢ 21 ⎥
⎢ M M M M ⎥

The ith row of A is the 1 × n matrix [ai1 ai 2 L ain ] . The j th column of A is the m × 1 matrix ⎢ 2j⎥
⎢ M ⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎢ a mj ⎥
⎣ ⎦
The (i, j )th element or entry of A is the element aij , that is, the number in the ith row and j th column of A.
A convenient shorthand notation for expressing the matrix A is to write A = [aij], which indicates that A is
the matrix with its (i, j )th element equal to aij.

2. Matrix Arithmetic
Definition 4

Let A = [aij] and B = [bij] be m × n matrices. The sum of A and B, denoted by A + B, is the m × n matrix
that has aij + bij as its (i, j )th element. In other words, A + B = [aij + bij].

Definition 5

Let A be an m × k matrix and B be a k × n matrix. The product of A and B, denoted by AB, is the m × n
matrix with its (i, j )th entry equal to the sum of the products of the corresponding elements from the ith row
of A and the jth column of B. In other words, if AB = [cij ], then cij = ai1b1j + ai2b2j + … +aikbkj .

3. Transposes and Powers of Matrices
Definition 6

The identity matrix of order n is the n × n matrix In = [δij ], where δij = 1 if i = j and δij = 0 if i ≠ j . Hence
⎡1 0 L 0⎤
⎢0 ⎡1 0 0 ⎤
⎢ 1 L 0⎥
⎥ ⎢0 1 0 ⎥
In = for example I3 = ⎢ ⎥
⎢M M O M⎥
⎢ ⎥ ⎢0 0 1 ⎥
⎣ ⎦
⎣0 0 L 1⎦

Theorem 1

Multiplying a matrix by an appropriately sized identity matrix does not change this matrix. In other words,
when A is an m × n matrix, we have AIn = ImA = A

Theorem 2

Powers of square matrices can be defined. When A is an n × n matrix, we have A0 = In , Ar = AAA…A
r times

Example 13 (5 points) Show identity matrix I1, I2 and I4

Example 14 (10 points) Let A be m × n matrix. Prove that AIn = ImA = A
⎡ 2 2 3⎤

⎣ ⎦

Example 15 (10 points) Let A be n × n matrix. Find A3
⎡1 2⎤
A= ⎢3 1 ⎥
⎣ ⎦



Definition 7

Let A = [aij] be an m × n matrix. The transpose of A, denoted by At, is the n × m matrix obtained by
interchanging the rows and columns of A. In other words, if At = [bij], then bij = aji for i = 1, 2, … , n and
j = 1, 2, … , m.

Definition 8

A square matrix A is called symmetric if A = At .
Thus A = [aij] is symmetric if aij = aji for all i and j with 1 ≤ i ≤ n and 1 ≤ j ≤ n.

4. Zero–One Matrices
A matrix all of whose entries are either 0 or 1 is called a zero–one matrix. This arithmetic is based on the
Boolean operations ∧ and ∨ , which operate on pairs of bits, defined by
⎧1, if b1 = b 2 = 1
b1 ∧ b 2 = ⎨
⎩0, otherwise
⎧1, if b1 = 1 or b 2 = 1
b1 ∨ b 2 = ⎨
⎩0, otherwise
Definition 9

Let A = [aij] and B = [bij] be m × n zero–one matrices. Then the join of A and B is the zero–one matrix with
(i, j )th entry aij ∨ bij . The join of A and B is denoted by A ∨ B. The meet of A and B is the zero–one
matrix with (i, j )th entry aij ∧ bij . The meet of A and B is denoted by A ∧ B.
