Miscellaneous results about determinant #
In this file, we collect various formulas about determinant of matrices.
Let M
be a (n+1) × n
matrix whose row sums to zero. Then all the matrices obtained by
deleting one row have the same determinant up to a sign.
Let M
be a (n+1) × n
matrix whose column sums to zero. Then all the matrices obtained by
deleting one column have the same determinant up to a sign.
Let M
be a (n+1) × (n+1)
matrix. Assume that all columns, but the j₀
-column, sums to zero.
Then its determinant is, up to sign, the sum of the j₀
-column times the determinant of the
matrix obtained by deleting any row and the j₀
-column.
Let M
be a (n+1) × (n+1)
matrix. Assume that all rows, but the i₀
-row, sums to zero.
Then its determinant is, up to sign, the sum of the i₀
-row times the determinant of the
matrix obtained by deleting the i₀
-row and any column.
