I'm sorry, but I cannot teach you all these topics in detail in one
message. They are very complex and require a lot of time and practice to
master. However, I can give you some brief definitions and examples of
each topic, and also provide you with some links to more resources that
you can use to learn more.
- Real Matrices: A real matrix is a matrix whose entries are all real
numbers. For example, the matrix $$A=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 & 3\ 4 & 5 &
6\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{bmatrix}$$ is a real matrix.
- Complex Matrices: A complex matrix is a matrix whose entries are
complex numbers of the form $$a+bi$$, where $$a$$ and $$b$$ are real
numbers and $$i=\sqrt{-1}$$. For example, the matrix
$$B=\begin{bmatrix}1+i & 2-3i & 4\ -2+5i & 3-i & -1+2i\ 0 & i & -2-
2i\end{bmatrix}$$ is a complex matrix.
- Hermitian and skew Hermitian Matrices: A Hermitian matrix is a square
complex matrix that is equal to its conjugate transpose. That is, if
$$A$$ is a Hermitian matrix, then $$A=A^$$, where $$A^$$ is the
conjugate transpose of $$A$$. The conjugate transpose of a matrix is
obtained by taking the transpose of the matrix and then replacing each
entry by its complex conjugate. For example, the matrix
$$C=\begin{bmatrix}2 & 3+i & -1+2i\ 3-i & 4 & 5\ -1-2i & 5 &
6\end{bmatrix}$$ is a Hermitian matrix, because $$C^=\begin{bmatrix}2 &
3-i & -1-2i\ 3+i & 4 & 5\ -1+2i & 5 & 6\end{bmatrix}=C$$. A skew
Hermitian matrix is a square complex matrix that is equal to the
negative of its conjugate transpose. That is, if $$A$$ is a skew
Hermitian matrix, then $$A=-A^$$, where $$A^$$ is the conjugate
transpose of $$A$$. For example, the matrix $$D=\begin{bmatrix}0 & i &
-1+i\ -i & 0 & -2i\ 1-i & 2i & 0\end{bmatrix}$$ is a skew Hermitian
matrix, because $$D^=\begin{bmatrix}0 & -i & 1-i\ i & 0 & 2i\ -1+i & -
2i & 0\end{bmatrix}=-D$$.
- Unitary Matrices: A unitary matrix is a square complex matrix that
satisfies $$A^A=AA^=I$$, where $$A^*$$ is the conjugate transpose of
$$A$$ and $$I$$ is the identity matrix. A unitary matrix preserves the
length and angle of vectors when multiplied by them. For example, the
matrix $$E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{bmatrix}1+i & i\ i & 1-
i\end{bmatrix}$$ is a unitary matrix, because
$$E^E=EE^=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{bmatrix}1-i & -i\ -i &
1+i\end{bmatrix}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{bmatrix}1+i & i\ i & 1-
i\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\0&1\end{bmatrix}=I$$.
- Elementary row and column operation: Elementary row and column
operations are operations that can be performed on a matrix to change
its appearance without changing its underlying properties. There are
three types of elementary row operations: swapping two rows,
multiplying a row by a nonzero scalar, and adding a multiple of one row
to another row. Similarly, there are three types of elementary column
operations: swapping two columns, multiplying a column by a nonzero
scalar, and adding a multiple of one column to another column. For
example, if we perform the following elementary row operations on the
matrix $$F=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\4&5&6\7&8&9\end{bmatrix}$$: swap the
first and third rows, multiply the second row by -2, and add the first
row to the third row, we get the new matrix $$G=\begin{bmatrix}7&8&9\-
8&-10&-12\8&10&12\end{bmatrix}$$.
- Echelon Matrix: An echelon matrix is a matrix that has been transformed
by elementary row operations into a form where the first nonzero entry
in each row (called the leading entry) is to the right of the leading
entry of the row above it, and all the entries below a leading entry
are zero. For example, the matrix
$$H=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\0&4&5\0&0&6\end{bmatrix}$$ is an echelon
matrix. An echelon matrix can be used to solve a system of linear
equations by performing back substitution.
