Orthogonal Matrix

Hey guys, welcome again.

Today’s topic is Orthogonal Matrix.

So, let’s jump up to the topic.

Definition:

An Orthogonal matrix is a real square matrix, whose rows and columns are orthonormal vectors.

We can represent it as, A’A=AA’=I, where A’ is the transpose of A.

We can also say that-

If A’=A-1, i.e the transpose of the matrix is equal to the inverse then the matrix is called an orthogonal matrix.

Characteristics:

  1. An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix.
  2. If a matrix is orthogonal, then it is also invertible.
  3. An orthogonal matrix can be a Unitary Matrix.

Example:

Now let’s see an example of an orthogonal matrix.

So, we took the most general example to make it understandable to you.
Hope you all understand this.
