definitiondef:minor-cofactor-adjugate-real-square-matrix-2026dLinear AlgebraNames the matrix obtained from a square real matrix by deleting a row and a column, its determinant (the minor), the signed minor (the cofactor), and the adjugate, whose (i,j) entry is the (j,i) cofactor.- Let be natural numbers with . Let be an open subset of Euclidean space , and let . We say that is of class on if for every multi-index of length with order and every…
- A smooth function on an open subset of ℝⁿ whose Jacobian matrix at a point is invertible restricts, near that point, to a smooth diffeomorphism onto an open set, and the derivative of the inverse is the inverse of the Jacobian matrix.
- A function of class C¹ on an open subset of ℝⁿ whose Jacobian matrix at a point is invertible has a local inverse of class C¹ near that point, with derivative the inverse of the Jacobian matrix; if the function is of class Cᵏ, so is any such local inverse.
- A function on an open subset of ℝⁿ is a local Cᵏ (or smooth) diffeomorphism at a point if it restricts to a Cᵏ (or smooth) diffeomorphism on an open neighbourhood of the point, and a local diffeomorphism if it is one at every point.
- Let be natural numbers. Let be an real matrix, let be an real matrix, and let be a real matrix, with all products taken in the sense of the matrix product definition. Then
- A right inverse and a left inverse of the same square matrix are equal; in particular a square matrix has at most one inverse.
- Defines Cauchy sequences in a metric space: terms with large enough indices are arbitrarily close to one another.
Convergent Sequence in a Metric Space
definitiondef:convergent-sequence-metric-space-2026cAnalysisTopologyDefines when a sequence in a metric space converges to a point, and when it is convergent.- Let be a set. A sequence in is a family indexed by the natural numbers such that for every .
Contraction Mapping Theorem on a Nonempty Complete Metric Space
theoremthm:contraction-mapping-complete-metric-space-2026cAnalysisTopologyA contraction of a nonempty complete metric space has exactly one fixed point, and the iterates of the contraction starting from any point converge to it.- Defines a self-map of a metric space to be a contraction with constant lambda in [0,1) when it multiplies distances by at most lambda, and a contraction when some such constant exists.
- Let be a set, and let be a map. A point is called a fixed point of if
- A metric space is complete if every Cauchy sequence in it is convergent.
Inverse Matrix and Invertible Real Square Matrix
definitiondef:inverse-matrix-invertible-real-square-matrix-2026cLinear AlgebraA square real matrix B is an inverse of A if AB = BA = I; A is invertible if it has an inverse, which is then unique and written A^{-1}.- The n x n identity matrix has entries delta_ij (1 on the diagonal, 0 elsewhere); the k-th standard basis vector of R^n is its k-th column.
