Here you will learn what is the scalar matrix definition and order of scalar matrix with examples.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin –<\/p>\n
Definition<\/strong> : A square matrix<\/a> A = \\([a_{ij}]_{n\\times n}\\) is called a scalar matrix if<\/p>\n
(i) \\(a_{ij}\\) = 0 for all i \\(\\ne\\) j and,<\/p>\n
(ii) \\(a_{ii}\\) = c, for all i, where c \\(\\ne\\) 0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In other words, a diagonal matrix<\/a> in which all the diagonal elements are equal is called the scalar matrix.<\/p>\n
