Course specific prerequisites

Mathematical analysis and linear algebra.

Aim

Matrix analysis plays a key role in many engineering diciplines both concerning design tools and algorithm as well as for performance analysis. This course will provide a working knowledge of linear algebra and matrix analysis from a user's point of view. Applications in subspace-based methods for signal processing, multivariate statistics and linear systems are considered.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

- solve linear equations
- describe rank, nullspace and range space of a matrix
- describe, solve and analyse multivariable least-squares problems
- use Kronecker products to reformulate and analyse matrix equations
- describe eigenvalues, similarity transforms and quadratic forms
- describe singular value decomposition and use it for analysis
- use matrix culculus to perform analysis

Content

Matrices and Gaussian elimination, Vector spaces and linear equations,
Orthogonality and projections, determinants, diagonalization, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, singular value decomposition. subspace-based methods, quadratic-forms, Kronecker products, matrix calculus, Lyapunov equations and sample covariance statistics. Examples from signal processing and estimation.
