3xn matrice with combinatorical property
Sebaj71Tobias 0
Jun 1, 2025
Let"s have a 3xn matrice with the following properties:
The firs row of the matrice is 1,2,3,... ,n in this order.
The second and the third rows are permutations of the first.
Very important, that in each column thera are different entries.
How many matrices with thees properties are there?
The answer for 2xn matrices is well-known, but what is the answer for 3xn, or for kxn ( k<=n) ?

Let A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n} be a matrix such that A^2 = A and A \neq I and A \neq 0.
Problem:
a) Show that the only possible eigenvalues of A are 0 and 1.
b) What kind of matrix is A? (Hint: Think projection.)
c) Give a 2×2 example of such a matrix.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether when I tried to compute e^(2x2 matrix) and got the expansions of sinx and cosx with the method of discounting the constant junk whether it plays any significance. I am a UK student and none of this is in my School syllabus so I was just wondering…

Any idea?? Diff equational system combined with Matrix theory.
Consider the equation dX/dt=X^2, where X(t) is an n×n matrix satisfying the condition detX=0. It is known that there are no solutions of this equation defined on a bounded interval, but there exist non-continuable solutions defined on unbounded intervals of the form (t ,+∞) and (−∞,t). Find n.
