 Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the image of the linear map represented by A; this is the same as the dimension of the space generated by the rows of A, and also the same as the dimension of the space generated by the columns of A.
The entry of a matrix A that lies in the i -th row and the j-th column is called the i,j entry or (i,j)-th entry of A.
The trace of a square matrix is the sum of its diagonal entries, which equals the sum of its n eigenvalues.

For j>=i the ij'th element of the matrix is the (j-i+1)'th element of the i'th element of the argument.
For j>i the ij'th element of the matrix is the (j-i+1)'th element of the i'th element of the argument.
The lower triangle of the matrix is specified by the following relation: - M^* = transpose(M), were M^* denotes the matrix consisting of all the complex conjugates of M. This rules implies that the main diagonal is zero, therefore the argument should not include it.

This transformation is well known to be orthogonal by construction for skew-symmetric S. From a computational viewpoint, the block-matrix algorithm for the evaluation of C=C(S) is the result of manipulating the four matrix equations that are obtained from the blocked form of [I-S]*C=[I+S].

 Denis Vanderstraeten (Abstract)
The main idea of the preconditioner is to split the matrix in its symmetric and skew-symmetric part and to ``invert'' the (shifted) skew-symmetric matrix.
The rates of convergence of iterative methods with standard preconditioning techniques such as ILUT usually degrade when the skew-symmetric component 'S' of the matrix is relatively large.
In this paper, we address the issue of preconditioning matrices with such large skew-symmetric component.
