  • For a real m×pm\times p matrix AA with rows a1,…,ama_1,\dots,a_m and a symmetric XX, the trace of A⊤AXA^{\top}AX is the sum of the quadratic forms ak⋅(Xak)a_k\cdot(Xa_k). Consequences: the trace of a symmetric matrix is the sum of its diagonal quadratic forms, it is monotone for the semidefi…

  • An Injective Nondegenerate Square Matrix is Invertible

    lemmalem:square-matrix-injective-invertible-rn-2026aAnalysisLinear Algebra
    If the map determined by a real square matrix is injective it satisfies a lower bound and has closed convex image; if in addition no unit vector annihilates that image, the matrix is surjective and hence invertible, with an inverse obeying the reciprocal bound.
