Reason: First published version. Entrywise difference of two real matrices of the same shape, defined directly so that it does not depend on the scalar multiple.

Statement

Let $m$ and $n$ be natural numbers, and let $A$ and $B$ be real $m\times n$ matrices, with entry notation and index sets $[m]$ and $[n]$ as there. For real numbers $s$ and $t$ , $s-t$ abbreviates $s+(-t)$ with the addition and additive inverse of the ordered field $\mathbb{R}$ .

The difference $A-B$ is the real $m\times n$ matrix whose entries are

(A-B)_{ij}=A_{ij}-B_{ij}

for all $i\in[m]$ and $j\in[n]$ .
