Reason: New definition: the (m+n)x(m+n) matrix assembled from four blocks, indexed through the initial-segment decomposition used by the concatenation lemma.

Statement

Let mm and nn be natural numbers with 1m1\le m and 1n1\le n, let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, and for a natural number pp let [p][p] be the initial segment determined by pp. Let AA, BB, CC and DD be real matrices of sizes m×mm\times m, m×nm\times n, n×mn\times m and n×nn\times n respectively.

As recorded in Concatenation Identifies a Product of Euclidean Spaces with a Euclidean Space, every k[m+n]k\in[m+n] satisfies exactly one of the following: k[m]k\in[m]; or k=m+ik=m+i for a unique i[n]i\in[n].

The block matrix

(ABCD)\begin{pmatrix}A&B\\C&D\end{pmatrix}

is the real (m+n)×(m+n)(m+n)\times(m+n) matrix MM whose entries are given, for k,l[m]k,l\in[m] and i,j[n]i,j\in[n], by

Mkl=Akl,Mk,m+j=Bkj,Mm+i,l=Cil,Mm+i,m+j=Dij.M_{kl}=A_{kl},\qquad M_{k,\,m+j}=B_{kj},\qquad M_{m+i,\,l}=C_{il},\qquad M_{m+i,\,m+j}=D_{ij} .
