In astronomical and geodetic calculations, Cracovians are a clerical convenience introduced in 1925 by Tadeusz Banachiewicz for solving systems of linear equations by hand. Such systems can be written as A x = b in matrix notation where x and b are column vectors and the evaluation of b requires the multiplication of the rows of A by the vector x .
50-469: Cracovians introduced the idea of using the transpose of A , A , and multiplying the columns of A by the column x . This amounts to the definition of a new type of matrix multiplication denoted here by '∧'. Thus x ∧ A = b = A x . The Cracovian product of two matrices, say A and B , is defined by A ∧ B = B A , where B and A are assumed compatible for the common ( Cayley ) type of matrix multiplication. Since ( AB ) = B A ,

250-407: A scalar . If A is an m × n matrix and A is its transpose, then the result of matrix multiplication with these two matrices gives two square matrices: A A is m × m and A A is n × n . Furthermore, these products are symmetric matrices . Indeed, the matrix product A A has entries that are the inner product of a row of A with a column of A . But
300-412: A topological vector space (TVS) X is denoted by X ' . If X and Y are TVSs then a linear map u : X → Y is weakly continuous if and only if u ( Y ' ) ⊆ X ' , in which case we let u : Y ' → X ' denote the restriction of u to Y ' . The map u is called the transpose of u . If the matrix A describes

500-405: A linear map with respect to bases of V and W , then the matrix A describes the transpose of that linear map with respect to the dual bases . Every linear map to the dual space u : X → X defines a bilinear form B : X × X → F , with the relation B ( x , y ) = u ( x )( y ) . By defining the transpose of this bilinear form as the bilinear form B defined by

#1732802084514600-426: A number of circumstances in which it is necessary or desirable to physically reorder a matrix in memory to its transposed ordering. For example, with a matrix stored in row-major order , the rows of the matrix are contiguous in memory and the columns are discontiguous. If repeated operations need to be performed on the columns, for example in a fast Fourier transform algorithm, transposing the matrix in memory (to make
650-400: A real form obtained by taking the same vectors as in the original space and restricting the scalars to be real. The above properties actually define a real structure on the complex vector space V . {\displaystyle V.} One example of this notion is the conjugate transpose operation of complex matrices defined above. However, on generic complex vector spaces, there

It also sped up computer calculations, because both factors' elements were used in a similar order, which was more compatible with the sequential access memory in computers of those times — mostly magnetic tape memory and drum memory . Use of Cracovians in astronomy faded as computers with bigger random access memory came into general use. Any modern reference to them

Even though it appears to be a well-behaved function, it is not holomorphic ; it reverses orientation whereas holomorphic functions locally preserve orientation. It
1000-481: Is a linear map between vector spaces X and Y , we define g as the adjoint of u if g : Y → X satisfies These bilinear forms define an isomorphism between X and X , and between Y and Y , resulting in an isomorphism between the transpose and adjoint of u . The matrix of the adjoint of a map is the transposed matrix only if the bases are orthonormal with respect to their bilinear forms. In this context, many authors however, use

#17328020845141100-423: Is equal to its complex conjugate if its imaginary part is zero, that is, if the number is real. In other words, real numbers are the only fixed points of conjugation. Conjugation does not change the modulus of a complex number: | z ¯ | = | z | . {\displaystyle \left|{\overline {z}}\right|=|z|.} Conjugation is an involution , that is,

Specifically, the Cracovian product of matrices A and B can be obtained as crossprod(B, A) . Matrix transpose In linear algebra , the transpose of a matrix is an operator which flips a matrix over its diagonal; that is, it switches
1250-404: Is non-trivial to implement in-place. Therefore, efficient in-place matrix transposition has been the subject of numerous research publications in computer science , starting in the late 1950s, and several algorithms have been developed. As the main use of matrices is to represent linear maps between finite-dimensional vector spaces , the transpose is an operation on matrices that may be seen as

In this article this confusion is avoided by never using the symbol T as a variable name. A square matrix whose transpose is equal to itself is called a symmetric matrix ; that is, A is symmetric if A square matrix whose transpose is equal to its negative is called

If u : X → Y is a linear map , then its algebraic adjoint or dual , is the map u : Y → X defined by f ↦ f ∘ u . The resulting functional u ( f ) is called the pullback of f by u . The following relation characterizes

Even more general is the concept of adjoint operator for operators on (possibly infinite-dimensional) complex Hilbert spaces . All this is subsumed by the *-operations of C*-algebras . One may also define

1600-621: The bar notation is more common in pure mathematics . If a complex number is represented as a 2 × 2 {\displaystyle 2\times 2} matrix , the notations are identical, and the complex conjugate corresponds to the matrix transpose , which is a flip along the diagonal. The following properties apply for all complex numbers z {\displaystyle z} and w , {\displaystyle w,} unless stated otherwise, and can be proved by writing z {\displaystyle z} and w {\displaystyle w} in

This leads to the problem of transposing an n × m matrix in-place , with O(1) additional storage or at most storage much less than mn . For n ≠ m , this involves a complicated permutation of the data elements that
1700-415: The columns of A are the rows of A , so the entry corresponds to the inner product of two rows of A . If p i j is the entry of the product, it is obtained from rows i and j in A . The entry p j i is also obtained from these rows, thus p i j = p j i , and the product matrix ( p i j ) is symmetric. Similarly, the product A A is a symmetric matrix. A quick proof of

In the case of square matrices, A may also denote the T th power of the matrix A . For avoiding a possible confusion, many authors use left upperscripts, that is, they denote the transpose as A .

2050-467: The inverse. Over a complex vector space, one often works with sesquilinear forms (conjugate-linear in one argument) instead of bilinear forms. The Hermitian adjoint of a map between such spaces is defined similarly, and the matrix of the Hermitian adjoint is given by the conjugate transpose matrix if the bases are orthonormal.

2250-430: The products ( A ∧ B ) ∧ C and A ∧ ( B ∧ C ) will generally be different; thus, Cracovian multiplication is non- associative . Cracovians are an example of a quasigroup . Cracovians adopted a column-row convention for designating individual elements as opposed to the standard row-column convention of matrix analysis. This made manual multiplication easier, as one needed to follow two parallel columns (instead of
2300-428: The representation of some operation on linear maps. This leads to a much more general definition of the transpose that works on every linear map, even when linear maps cannot be represented by matrices (such as in the case of infinite dimensional vector spaces). In the finite dimensional case, the matrix representing the transpose of a linear map is the transpose of the matrix representing the linear map, independently of
2350-626: The row and column indices of the matrix A by producing another matrix, often denoted by A (among other notations). The transpose of a matrix was introduced in 1858 by the British mathematician Arthur Cayley . In the case of a logical matrix representing a binary relation R, the transpose corresponds to the converse relation R . The transpose of a matrix A , denoted by A , A , A , A ⊺ {\displaystyle A^{\intercal }} , A′ , A , A or A , may be constructed by any one of
2400-453: The symmetry of A A results from the fact that it is its own transpose: On a computer , one can often avoid explicitly transposing a matrix in memory by simply accessing the same data in a different order. For example, software libraries for linear algebra , such as BLAS , typically provide options to specify that certain matrices are to be interpreted in transposed order to avoid the necessity of data movement. However, there remain
