Perfect Matrix
In mathematics Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics ..., a perfect matrix is an ''m''-by-''n'' binary matrix that has no possible ''k''-by-''k'' submatrix K that satisfies the following conditions:D. M. Ryan, B. A. Foster''An Integer Programming Approach to Scheduling'' p.274, University of Auckland, 1981. * ''k'' > 3 * the row and column sums of K are each equal to ''b'', where ''b'' ≥ 2 * there exists no row of the (''m'' − ''k'')-by-''k'' submatrix formed by the rows not included in K with a row sum greater than ''b''. The following is an example of a K submatrix where ''k'' = 5 and ''b'' = 2: :: \begin 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting poin ...

Binary Matrix
A logical matrix, binary matrix, relation matrix, Boolean matrix, or (0, 1) matrix is a matrix with entries from the Boolean domain Such a matrix can be used to represent a binary relation between a pair of finite sets. Matrix representation of a relation If ''R'' is a binary relation between the finite indexed sets ''X'' and ''Y'' (so ), then ''R'' can be represented by the logical matrix ''M'' whose row and column indices index the elements of ''X'' and ''Y'', respectively, such that the entries of ''M'' are defined by :M_ = \begin 1 & (x_i, y_j) \in R, \\ 0 & (x_i, y_j) \not\in R. \end In order to designate the row and column numbers of the matrix, the sets ''X'' and ''Y'' are indexed with positive integers: ''i'' ranges from 1 to the cardinality (size) of ''X'', and ''j'' ranges from 1 to the cardinality of ''Y''. See the entry on indexed sets for more detail. Example The binary relation ''R'' on the set is defined so that ''aRb'' holds if and only if ''a' ...

Submatrix
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangle, rectangular array variable, array or table of numbers, symbol (formal), symbols, or expression (mathematics), expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or a property of such an object. For example, \begin1 & 9 & -13 \\20 & 5 & -6 \end is a matrix with two rows and three columns. This is often referred to as a "two by three matrix", a "-matrix", or a matrix of dimension . Without further specifications, matrices represent linear maps, and allow explicit computations in linear algebra. Therefore, the study of matrices is a large part of linear algebra, and most properties and operation (mathematics), operations of abstract linear algebra can be expressed in terms of matrices. For example, matrix multiplication represents function composition, composition of linear maps. Not all matrices are related to linear algebra. This is, in particular, the case in graph theory, of in ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
