What is Matrix Transpose?

The transpose of a matrix A, denoted as A^T, is obtained by interchanging rows and columns. If A is an m×n matrix, then A^T is an n×m matrix where the element at position (i,j) in A^T is the element at position (j,i) in A.

Matrix Transpose Examples

Example 1: 3×3 Matrix

Original Matrix A:

[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]
[7 8 9]

Transposed Matrix A^T:

[1 4 7]
[2 5 8]
[3 6 9]

Example 2: 2×4 Matrix

Original Matrix B:

[1 2 3 4]
[5 6 7 8]

Transposed Matrix B^T:

[1 5]
[2 6]
[3 7]
[4 8]

Mathematical Properties

Basic Properties

• (A^T)^T = A: Transposing twice returns the original matrix
• (A + B)^T = A^T + B^T: Transpose of sum equals sum of transposes
• (kA)^T = kA^T: Transpose of scalar multiple equals scalar times transpose
• (AB)^T = B^T A^T: Transpose of product equals product of transposes in reverse order

Special Matrix Types

• Symmetric Matrix: A = A^T (matrix equals its transpose)
• Skew-Symmetric Matrix: A = -A^T (matrix equals negative of its transpose)
• Orthogonal Matrix: A^T = A^(-1) (transpose equals inverse)

Common Matrix Operations

Matrix transpose is often used in combination with other operations:

• Matrix Multiplication: (AB)^T = B^T A^T
• Inner Product: a·b = a^T b
• Outer Product: a ⊗ b = a b^T
• Trace: tr(A) = tr(A^T)
• Determinant: det(A) = det(A^T)
