    I Expressing the Matrix Transpose Function: Is There a Different Approach?

    One way to express a function of a matrix A is by a power series (a Taylor expansion). It is not too difficult to show that two functions f(A) and g(A) with such a power series representation must commute, i.e. f(A)g(A) = g(A)f(A). But matrices typically do not commute with their own transpose...

    Python Transpose of a non-square matrix (without using ndarray.transpose)

    While the prefix of the thread is Python, this could be easily generalised to any language. It is absolutely not the first time I am working with an array, but definitely the first time I am facing the task of defining the transpose of a non-square matrix. I have worked so much with arrays in...

    I Transpose Property (where's my mistake)

    Hi PF! When proving ##\left(AB\right)^T = B^T A^T## I was thinking of writing ##\left(AB\right)_{ij} = A_{ik} B_{kj} = D_{ij}##. Then ##\left(D\right)^T_{ij} = D_{ji} = A_{jk} B_{ki} = A^TB^T## but clearly this is incorrect. Can someone tell me where my mistake is made? Thanks!
