1.3 Echelon Form and Rank of Matrix

Definition 1.3.1
A number r is called rank of a matrix A if

1. There exists atleast one minor of order r of A which does not vanish.

2. Every minor of order r + 1, if any vanishes.

The rank of a matrix A is denoted by ρ(A).

In other words, we can say that the rank of a matrix A is the largest order of any
non-vanishing minor of the matrix.
3 Narinder Singh 1. Matrix Algebra

Definition 1.3.2: Echelon Form

A matrix A = [aij ] is said to be in echelon form if

1. The number of zeros before the first non-zero element in a row is less than the
number of such zeros in the next row.

2. The first non-zero entry in non-zero row is one.

3. The zero rows of A occurs below all the non-zero rows of A.

The rank of a matrix A is denoted by ρ(A) = number of non-zero rows in echelon

form of a given matrix. An important remark here that first non zero entry
in each row need NOT to be 1 for finding rank. (Echelon type is sufficient)

Definition 1.7.1: Symmetric Matrix

A square matrix A is called symmetric matrix if

AT = A.

In other words, a matrix is symmetric if we interchange its rows and columns we

will again get the same matrix. Condition for symmetric matrix is also written like
aij = aji for all i, j.

Definition 1.7.2: Skew-Symmetric Matrix

A square matrix A is called skew-symmetric matrix if

AT = −A.

In other words a matrix is skew-symmetric if we interchange its rows and columns we

will get the negative of given matrix. Condition for skew-symmetric matrix is also
written like aij = −aji for all i, j.
11 Narinder Singh 1. Matrix Algebra

Definition 1.7.3: Hermitian Matrix

A square matrix A is called Hermitian Matrix if

Aθ = A.

In other words a matrix is hermitian if we take conjugate and interchange its rows and
columns we will again get the same matrix. Condition for symmetric matrix is also
written like āij = aji for all i, j.

Definition 1.7.4: Skew-Hermitian Matrix

A square matrix A is called skew-hermitian matrix if

Aθ = −A.

In other words a matrix is skew-hermitian if we take its conjugate and interchange

its rows and columns we will get the negative of given matrix. Condition for skew-
hermitian matrix is also written like āij = −aji for all i, j.

Definition 1.7.6: Unitary Matrix

A square matrix A is called Unitary matrix if

Aθ A = AAθ = I or A−1 = Aθ

Definition 1.7.7: Normal Matrix

A square matrix A is called Normal matrix if

Aθ A = AAθ .

If matrix contains only real entries, then

AT A = AAT .

Theorem 2.3.1
rin
Na

If the functions a0 (x), a1 (x), . . . , an (x) and r(x) are continuous over I and a0 (x) ̸= 0
on I, then there exists a unique solution to the initial value problem

a0 (x)y (n) + a1 (x)y (n−1) + · · · + an−1 (x)y ′ + an y = r(x), (2.2)

y(x0 ) = c1 , y ′ (x0 ) = c2 , . . . , y (n−1) (x0 ) = cn .

where x0 ∈ I, and c1 , c2 , . . . , cn are n unknown constants.

Remark 2.3.1. If the condition of Theorem 2.3 are satisfied, then the Differential Equation
2.2 is called normal on I.

Remark 2.3.2. A point xo ∈ I, for which a0 (x) ̸= 0, called ordinary point or a regular
point of the differential equation 2.2.

Example 2.3.1. Find the intervals in which the following differential equations are normal

1. (1 − x2 )y ′′ − 2xy ′ + n(n + 1)y = 0, n is an integer.

2. x2 y ′′ + xy ′ + (n2 − x2 )y = 0, n real.

3. xy + 6xy ′ + 15y = ln(x4 − 256).

Solution:

1. Here a0 (x) = (1 − x2 ), a1 (x) = −2x, and a2 (x) = n(n + 1). Now, a0 , a1 and a2 are con-
tinuous everywhere in (−∞, ∞). Also, a0 (x) = 1 − x2 ̸= 0 for all x ∈ (−∞, ∞) except
at the points x = −1, 1. Hence differential equation is normal on every subinterval of
the open intervals (−∞, −1), (−1, 1), (1, ∞),

2. Here a0 (x) = x2 , a1 (x) = x, and a2 (x) = (n2 − x2 ). a0 , a1 and a2 are continuous

everywhere in (−∞, ∞). Also, a0 (x) = 1 − x2 ̸= 0 for all x ∈ (−∞, ∞) except at the
points x = 0. Hence differential equation is normal on every interval which does not
contains 0.

3. Here a0 (x) = x, a1 (x) = 6x, and a2 (x) = 15, r(x) = ln(x4 − 256). a0 , a1 , a2 and r(x)

In class while finding value of an a mistake was made by me. Therefore, I am finding value
of an only here. The mistake was when we solve it integration of uv (two functions by
integration by parts) we have to substitute limits after solving complete integraion.
