Trigonometric Functions Of Matrices
The trigonometric functions (especially sine and cosine) for complex square matrices occur in solutions of second-order systems of differential equations. They are defined by the same Taylor series that hold for the trigonometric functions of complex numbers: :\begin \sin X & = X - \frac + \frac - \frac + \cdots & = \sum_^\infty \fracX^ \\ \cos X & = I - \frac + \frac - \frac + \cdots & = \sum_^\infty \fracX^ \end with being the th power of the matrix , and being the identity matrix of appropriate dimensions. Equivalently, they can be defined using the matrix exponential along with the matrix equivalent of Euler's formula, , yielding :\begin \sin X & = \\ \cos X & = . \end For example, taking to be a standard Pauli matrix, : \sigma_1 = \sigma_x = \begin 0&1\\ 1&0 \end ~, one has : \sin(\theta \sigma_1) = \sin(\theta)~ \sigma_1 , \qquad \cos (\theta \sigma_1) = \cos (\theta)~I~, as well as, for the cardinal sine function, :\operatornam ...

Sine
In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle. The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that of the hypotenuse. For an angle \theta, the sine and cosine functions are denoted as \sin(\theta) and \cos(\theta). The definitions of sine and cosine have been extended to any real value in terms of the lengths of certain line segments in a unit circle. More modern definitions express the sine and cosine as infinite series, or as the solutions of certain differential equations, allowing their extension to arbitrary positive and negative values and even to complex numbers. The sine and cosine functions are commonly used to model periodic phenomena such as sound and light waves, the posit ...

Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity
The Pythagorean trigonometric identity, also called simply the Pythagorean identity, is an identity expressing the Pythagorean theorem in terms of trigonometric functions. Along with the sum-of-angles formulae, it is one of the basic relations between the sine and cosine functions. The identity is :\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1. As usual, \sin^2 \theta means (\sin\theta)^2. Proofs and their relationships to the Pythagorean theorem Proof based on right-angle triangles Any similar triangles have the property that if we select the same angle in all of them, the ratio of the two sides defining the angle is the same regardless of which similar triangle is selected, regardless of its actual size: the ratios depend upon the three angles, not the lengths of the sides. Thus for either of the similar right triangles in the figure, the ratio of its horizontal side to its hypotenuse is the same, namely .

Square Root Of A Matrix
In mathematics, the square root of a matrix extends the notion of square root from numbers to matrices. A matrix is said to be a square root of if the matrix product is equal to . Some authors use the name ''square root'' or the notation only for the specific case when is positive semidefinite, to denote the unique matrix that is positive semidefinite and such that (for real-valued matrices, where is the transpose of ). Less frequently, the name ''square root'' may be used for any factorization of a positive semidefinite matrix as , as in the Cholesky factorization, even if . This distinct meaning is discussed in '. Examples In general, a matrix can have several square roots. In particular, if A = B^2 then A=(-B)^2 as well. For example, the 2×2 identity matrix \textstyle\begin1 & 0\\ 0 & 1\end has infinitely many square roots. They are given by :\begin \pm 1 & ~~0\\ ~~0 & \pm 1\end and \begin a & ~~b\\ c & -a\end where (a, b, c) are any numbers (real or comp ...

Matrix Logarithm
In mathematics, a logarithm of a matrix is another matrix such that the matrix exponential of the latter matrix equals the original matrix. It is thus a generalization of the scalar logarithm and in some sense an inverse function of the matrix exponential. Not all matrices have a logarithm and those matrices that do have a logarithm may have more than one logarithm. The study of logarithms of matrices leads to Lie theory since when a matrix has a logarithm then it is in an element of a Lie group and the logarithm is the corresponding element of the vector space of the Lie algebra. Definition The exponential of a matrix ''A'' is defined by : e^ \equiv \sum_^ \frac. Given a matrix ''B'', another matrix ''A'' is said to be a matrix logarithm of . Because the exponential function is not bijective for complex numbers (e.g. e^ = e^ = -1), numbers can have multiple complex logarithms, and as a consequence of this, some matrices may have more than one logarithm, as explained below.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions
In mathematics, the inverse trigonometric functions (occasionally also called ''antitrigonometric'', ''cyclometric'', or ''arcus'' functions) are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions, under suitably restricted Domain of a function, domains. Specifically, they are the inverses of the sine, cosine, tangent (trigonometry), tangent, cotangent, secant (trigonometry), secant, and cosecant functions, and are used to obtain an angle from any of the angle's trigonometric ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are widely used in engineering, navigation, physics, and geometry. Notation Several notations for the inverse trigonometric functions exist. The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix: , , , etc. (This convention is used throughout this article.) This notation arises from the following geometric relationships: when measuring in radians, an angle of radians will correspond to an circular arc, arc whose length is , ...

Inverse Hyperbolic Function
In mathematics, the inverse hyperbolic functions are inverses of the hyperbolic functions, analogous to the inverse circular functions. There are six in common use: inverse hyperbolic sine, inverse hyperbolic cosine, inverse hyperbolic tangent, inverse hyperbolic cosecant, inverse hyperbolic secant, and inverse hyperbolic cotangent. They are commonly denoted by the symbols for the hyperbolic functions, prefixed with ''arc-'' or ''ar-'' or with a superscript (for example , , or \sinh^). For a given value of a hyperbolic function, the inverse hyperbolic function provides the corresponding hyperbolic angle measure, for example \operatorname(\sinh a) = a and \sinh(\operatorname x) = x. Hyperbolic angle measure is the length of an arc of a unit hyperbola x^2 - y^2 = 1 as measured in the Lorentzian plane (''not'' the length of a hyperbolic arc in the Euclidean plane), and twice the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector. This is analogous to the way circular angle measure ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Hyperbolic Function
In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogues of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle. Just as the points form a circle with a unit radius, the points form the right half of the unit hyperbola. Also, similarly to how the derivatives of and are and respectively, the derivatives of and are and respectively. Hyperbolic functions are used to express the angle of parallelism in hyperbolic geometry. They are used to express Lorentz boosts as hyperbolic rotations in special relativity. They also occur in the solutions of many linear differential equations (such as the equation defining a catenary), cubic equations, and Laplace's equation in Cartesian coordinates. Laplace's equations are important in many areas of physics, including electromagnetic theory, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.

If And Only If
In logic and related fields such as mathematics and philosophy, "if and only if" (often shortened as "iff") is paraphrased by the biconditional, a logical connective between statements. The biconditional is true in two cases, where either both statements are true or both are false. The connective is biconditional (a statement of material equivalence), and can be likened to the standard material conditional ("only if", equal to "if ... then") combined with its reverse ("if"); hence the name. The result is that the truth of either one of the connected statements requires the truth of the other (i.e. either both statements are true, or both are false), though it is controversial whether the connective thus defined is properly rendered by the English "if and only if"—with its pre-existing meaning. For example, ''P if and only if Q'' means that ''P'' is true whenever ''Q'' is true, and the only case in which ''P'' is true is if ''Q'' is also true, whereas in the case of ''P if Q ...

Trigonometric Addition Formulas
In trigonometry, trigonometric identities are Equality (mathematics), equalities that involve trigonometric functions and are true for every value of the occurring Variable (mathematics), variables for which both sides of the equality are defined. Geometrically, these are identity (mathematics), identities involving certain functions of one or more angles. They are distinct from Trigonometry#Triangle identities, triangle identities, which are identities potentially involving angles but also involving side lengths or other lengths of a triangle. These identities are useful whenever expressions involving trigonometric functions need to be simplified. An important application is the integral, integration of non-trigonometric functions: a common technique involves first using the Trigonometric substitution, substitution rule with a trigonometric function, and then simplifying the resulting integral with a trigonometric identity.

Diagonal Matrix
In linear algebra, a diagonal matrix is a matrix in which the entries outside the main diagonal are all zero; the term usually refers to square matrices. Elements of the main diagonal can either be zero or nonzero. An example of a 2×2 diagonal matrix is \left begin 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 \end\right/math>, while an example of a 3×3 diagonal matrix is \left begin 6 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 5 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \end\right/math>. An identity matrix of any size, or any multiple of it is a diagonal matrix called a ''scalar matrix'', for example, \left begin 0.5 & 0 \\ 0 & 0.5 \end\right/math>. In geometry, a diagonal matrix may be used as a '' scaling matrix'', since matrix multiplication with it results in changing scale (size) and possibly also shape; only a scalar matrix results in uniform change in scale. Definition As stated above, a diagonal matrix is a matrix in which all off-diagonal entries are zero. That is, the matrix with columns and rows is diagonal if \forall i,j \in \, i \ne j \ ...

Sinc Function
In mathematics, physics and engineering, the sinc function ( ), denoted by , has two forms, normalized and unnormalized.. In mathematics, the historical unnormalized sinc function is defined for by \operatorname(x) = \frac. Alternatively, the unnormalized sinc function is often called the sampling function, indicated as Sa(''x''). In digital signal processing and information theory, the normalized sinc function is commonly defined for by \operatorname(x) = \frac. In either case, the value at is defined to be the limiting value \operatorname(0) := \lim_\frac = 1 for all real (the limit can be proven using the squeeze theorem). The normalization causes the definite integral of the function over the real numbers to equal 1 (whereas the same integral of the unnormalized sinc function has a value of ). As a further useful property, the zeros of the normalized sinc function are the nonzero integer values of . The normalized sinc function is the Fourier transform of the r ...
