  Diagonal matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any diagonal matrix is also a symmetric matrix, a triangular matrix, and (if the entries come from the field R or C) also a normal matrix.
A diagonal matrix with all its main diagonal entries equal is a scalar matrix, that is, a scalar multiple λI of the identity matrix I.
Because of the simple description of the matrix operation and eigenvalues/eigenvectors given above, it is always desirable to represent a given matrix or linear map by a diagonal matrix.

 Tridiagonal matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra, a tridiagonal matrix is one that is "almost" diagonal.
To be exact, a tridiagonal matrix has nonzero elements only in the main diagonal, the first diagonal below this, and the first diagonal above the main diagonal.
Although a general tridiagonal matrix is not necessarily symmetric or Hermitian, many of those that arise when solving linear algebra problems have one of these properties.

The computation of the kxk minors of a matrix can be a long task, not only because the computation of each determinant is a bit of a job, but also because there can be many of them.
This command returns a matrix with one row whose entries are the kxk minors of the mxn matrix A, whenever k is a positive integer that is not greater than m and not greater than n.
Another method of finding the strongly diagonal matrix D equivalent to A is to use `minors' to find the product of the first k diagonal entries of D, as in the proof in Section 3.

There are at least two basic approaches, one of which is a more standard matrix manipulation technique where the tri-diagonal matrix is decomposed into a lower and an upper diagonal form.
The other approach is an iterative approximation technique that less robust, it assumes the matrix is diagonal dominnat, but it is also perhaps a simpler algorithm for implementation on an FPGA.
Let us generate a tri-diagonal matrix M such that the diagonal elements are drawn at random from a uniform random number generator in the range 0.1 to 1.0, and the off diagonal elements are drawn from the range 0.0 to 0.1.

Even with the simplification of the normal matrix introduced by the sparse approximation the problem of inverting the matrix is difficult.
