Bazin's Matrix and other allied Matrices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
In a paper entitled “On differentiating a Matrix” H. W. Turnbull deduced some interesting and elegant results by the use of a matrix operator Ω, a matrix whose elements were the partial differential operators with respect to the elements of a square matrix x. Throughout the present paper the differential operator Ω. is used, or rather a matrix operator, which is the product of Ω and another square matrix Y.
By means of this operator in §§ 1 and 2 Bazin's matrix and Reiss's matrix are considered from the standpoint of matrices as distinct from that of determinants. Reiss's matrix is shown to be a constant times a compound of Bazin's matrix; and the latent roots of Reiss's matrix are immediately determined in terms of the latent roots of Bazin's matrix. From this result a theorem, discovered by Deruyts, is deduced as well as a more general theorem.
