We derive an expression for the product of the Pfaffians of two skew-symmetric matrices A and B as a sum of products of the traces of powers of AB and an expression for the inverse matrix A$^{-1}$, or equivalently B$^{-1}$, as a…

In this paper we give a new formula for the $n$-th power of a $2\times2$ matrix. More precisely, we prove the following: Let $A= \left ( \begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix} \right )$ be an arbitrary $2\times2$ matrix, $T=a+d$ its…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ matrix and let $\vee^k A$ be its $k$-th symmetric tensor product. We express the normalized trace of $\vee^k A$ as an integral of the $k$-th powers of the numerical values of $A$ over the unit sphere…

It is a well-known fact that the first and last non-trivial coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a linear operator are respectively its trace and its determinant. This work shows how to compute recursively all the coefficients…

Using the fact that the normalised matrix trace is the unique linear functional $f$ on the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices which satisfies $f(I)=1$ and $f(AB)=f(BA)$ for all $n\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$, we derive a well-known formula…

We apply matrix methods to arithmetic functions by associating matrices to the functions in a manner drawn from the theory of symmetric functions. Then we study the characteristic polynomials of the associated matrices.

In this short paper, we study some trace inequalities of the products of the matrices and the power of matrices by the use of elementary calculations.

This note presents a simple, universal closed form for the powers of any square matrix. A diligent search of the internet gave no indication that the form is known.

For an upper bidiagonal matrix $B$ where all the diagonal and the upper subdiagonal entries are positive, two subtraction-free formulae for computation of the traces $J_{M} ( B ) = \textrm{Tr} ( ( B^{\top} B )^{- M} ) = \textrm{Tr} ( ( B…

Any associative bilinear multiplication on the set of n-by-n matrices over some field of characteristic not two, that makes the same vectors orthogonal and has the same trace as ordinary matrix multiplication, must be ordinary matrix…

Symmetric polynomials of the roots of a polynomial can be written as polynomials of the coefficients, and by applying this to the characteristic polynomial we can write a symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues $a_{i}$ of an $n\times n$…

We present an explicit formula of the powers for the $2\times 2$ quantum matrices, that is a natural quantum analogue of the powers of the usual $2\times 2$ matrices. As applications, we give some non-commutative relations of the entries of…
