Idempotent Matrices and Their Properties: a Study |
ABSTRACT:
An idempotent matrix is a matrix which, when multiplied by itself,yields itself. That is, the matrix M is idempotent if andonly if MM = M. For this product MM tobe defined, M must necessarilybe a square matrix. Viewed this way, idempotent matricesare idempotent elements of matrixrings.
