Show that, if a matrix A ∈ C is both triangular and unitary, then it is diagonal.
A Hadamard matrix is a matrix whose entries are all ±1 and whose transpose is equal to its inverse time a
constant factor.
It is known that, if A is a Hadamard matrix of dimension m > 2, the m is a multiple of 4. It is not known,
however, whether there is a Hadamard matrix for every such m, though examples have been found for all cases
m 6 424.
Show that the following recursive description provides a Hadamard matrix of each dimension m = 2 k , k =
0 , 1 , 2 ,.. ..
H 0 = (1) , Hk+1 =
Hk Hk
Hk −Hk
Consider Gaussian elimination carried out with pivoting by columns instead of rows, leading to a factorization
AQ = LU (instead of P A = LU ), where Q is a permutation matrix.
3.a) Show that if A is nonsingular, such a factorization always exists.
3.b) Show that if A is singular, such a factorization does not always exist.
Let a > 0 and c be two real numbers such that a > 2 |c|. Let A be the N × N matrix given by

and ~b = (b 1 ,... , bN ) T be a given N -vector.
4.a) Show that A is symmetric positive definite and conclude that the linear system A~x = ~b admits a unique
solution. Conclude that the Gauss elimination algorithm can be used.
4.b) Write a Gauss elimination algorithm to solve A~x =
b without using any N
2 array of data. Write a small
program (in Matlab for instance) to illustrate your algorithm on an example.
Suppose a m × m matrix A is written in the block form
where A 11 is n × n and A 22 is (m − n) × (m − n). If A is nonsingular.
5.a) Show the formula

The matrix A 22 − A 21 A
− 1 11 A 12 is known as the Schur complement of A 11 in A.
5.b) Suppose A 21 is eliminated row by row by means of n steps of Gaussian elimination. Show that the
bottom-right (m − n) × (m − n) block of the results is again A 22 − A 21 A

of full matrices?
