Submatrices and Block Matrices
Definitions:
Let A ∈ F m×n . Then the row indices of A are {1, . . . , m}, and the column indices of A are {1, . . . , n}. Let
α, β be nonempty sets of indices with α ⊆ {1, . . . , m} and β ⊆ {1, . . . , n}.
A submatrix A[α, β] is a matrix whose rows have indices α among the row indices of A, and whose
columns have indices β among the column indices of A. A(α, β) = A[α c , β c ], where α c is the complement
of α.
A principal submatrix is a submatrix A[α, α], denoted more compactly as A[α].
Let the set {1, . . . m} be partitioned into the subsets α1 , . . . , αr in the usual sense of partitioning a set
(so that αi ∩ α j = ∅, for all i = j , 1 ≤ i, j ≤ r , and α1 ∪ · · · ∪ αr = {1, . . . , m}), and let {1, . . . , n} be
partitioned into the subsets β1 , . . . , βs .
The matrix A ∈ F m×n is said to be partitioned into the submatrices A[αi , β j ], 1 ≤ i ≤ r , 1 ≤ j ≤ s .
A block matrix is a matrix that is partitioned into submatrices A[αi , β j ] with the row indices {1, . . . , m}
and column indices {1, . . . , n} partitioned into subsets sequentially, i.e., α1 = {1, . . . , i 1 }, α2 = {i 1 +
1, . . . , i 2 }, etc.
Each entry of a block matrix, which is a submatrix A[αi , β j ], is called a block, and we will sometimes
write A = [Aij ] to label the blocks, where Aij = A[αi , β j ].
If the block matrix A ∈ F m× p is partitioned with αi s and β j s, 1 ≤ i ≤ r , 1 ≤ j ≤ s , and the block
matrix B ∈ F p×n is partitioned with β j s and γk s, 1 ≤ j ≤ s , 1 ≤ k ≤ t, then the partitions of A and B
are said to be conformal (or sometimes conformable).
Facts:
The following facts can be found in [HJ85]. This information is also available in many other standard
references such as [LT85] or [Mey00].
1. Two block matrices A = [Aij ] and B = [Bij ] in F m×n , which are both partitioned with the same
αi s and β j s, 1 ≤ i ≤ r , 1 ≤ j ≤ s , may be added block-wise, as with the usual matrix addition, so
that the (i, j ) block entry of A + B is (A + B)ij = Aij + Bij .

2. If the block matrix A ∈ F m× p and the block matrix B ∈ F p×n have conformal partitions, then we
can think of A and B as having entries, which are blocks, so that we can then multiply A and B
block-wise to form the m × n block matrix C = AB. Then C i k = sj =1 Aij Bjk , and the matrix C
will be partitioned with the αi s and γk s, 1 ≤ i ≤ r , 1 ≤ k ≤ t, where A is partitioned with αi s and
β j s, 1 ≤ i ≤ r , 1 ≤ j ≤ s , and B is partitioned with β j s and γk s, 1 ≤ j ≤ s , 1 ≤ k ≤ t.
3. With addition and multiplication of block matrices described as in Facts 1 and 2 the usual properties
of associativity of addition and multiplication of block matrices hold, as does distributivity, and
commutativity of addition. The additive identity 0 and multiplicative identity I are the same
under block addition and multiplication, as with the usual matrix addition and multiplication.
The additive identity 0 has zero matrices as blocks; the multiplicative identity I has multiplicative
identity submatrices as diagonal blocks and zero matrices as off-diagonal blocks.
4. If the partitions of A and B are conformal, the partitions of B and A are not necessarily conformal,
even if B A is defined.

5. Let A ∈ F
be a block matrix of the form A =
, where A12 is k × k, and A21 is
A21
0
(n − k) × (n − k). Then det( A) = (−1)(n+1)k det(A12 )det(A21 ).
Examples:
1. Let the block matrix A ∈ C
n×n
given by A =
A11
A21
A12
be Hermitian. Then A11 and A22 are
A22
Hermitian, and A21 = A∗12 .
2. If A = [aij ], then A[{i }, { j }] is the 1 × 1 matrix whose entry is aij . The submatrix A({i }, { j }) is the
submatrix of A obtained by deleting row i and column j of A.

Definitions:
A matrix A = [aij ] ∈ F n×n is diagonal if aij = 0, for all i = j , 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n.
A diagonal matrix A = [aij ] ∈ F n×n is said to be scalar if aii = a, for all i , 1 ≤ i ≤ n, and some scalar
a ∈ F , i.e., A = a In .

ni ×n j
, so that A = [Aij ], ik=1 ni = n, and Aij = 0, for all i = j , 1 ≤ i, j ≤ k. Thus, A =

Partitioned Matrices
1. Let D, D ∈ F n×n be any diagonal matrices. Then D + D and D D are diagonal, and D D = D D.
If D = diag(d1 , . . . , dn ) is nonsingular, then D −1 = diag(1/d1 , . . . , 1/dn ).
2. Let D ∈ F n×n be a matrix such that D A = AD for all A ∈ F n×n . Then D is a scalar matrix.
3. If A ∈ F n×n is a block diagonal matrix, so that A = diag(A11 , . . . , Akk ), then tr(A) = ik=1 tr(Aii ),
det(A) = ik=1 det(Aii ), rank(A) = ik=1 rank(Aii ), and σ (A) = σ (A11 ) ∪ · · · ∪ σ (Akk ).
4. Let A ∈ F n×n be a block diagonal matrix, so that A = diag(A11 , A22 . . . , Akk ). Then A is nonsingu−1
−1
lar if and only if Aii is nonsingular for each i , 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Moreover, A−1 = diag(A−1
11 , A22 . . . , Akk ).
5. See Chapter 4.3 for information on diagonalizability of matrices.
6. Let A ∈ F n×n be a block diagonal matrix, so that A = diag(A11 , . . . , Akk ). Then A is diagonalizable
if and only if Aii is diagonalizable for each i , 1 ≤ i ≤ k.
7. If A, B ∈ F n×n are upper (lower) triangular matrices, then A + B and AB are upper (lower)
triangular. If the upper (lower) triangular matrix A = [aij ] is nonsingular, then A−1 is upper
(lower) triangular with diagonal entries 1/a11 , . . . , 1/ann .

9. Let A = (Aij ) ∈ F n×n be a block triangular matrix (either upper or lower triangular). Then A is
nonsingular if and only if Aii is nonsingular for each i , 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Moreover, the ni × ni diagonal
block entries of A−1 are Aii−1 , for each i , 1 ≤ i ≤ k.
10. Schur’s Triangularization Theorem: Let A ∈ Cn×n . Then there is a unitary matrix U ∈ Cn×n so that
U ∗ AU is upper triangular. The diagonal entries of U ∗ AU are the eigenvalues of A.
11. Let A ∈ Rn×n . Then there is an orthogonal matrix V ∈ Rn×n so that V T AV is of upper Hessenberg

1 × 1, the entry of Aii is an eigenvalue of A, whereas when Aii is 2 × 2, then Aii has two eigenvalues
which are nonreal complex conjugates of each other, and are eigenvalues of A.
12. (For more information on unitary triangularization, see Chapter 7.2.)
13. Let A = [Aij ] ∈ F n×n with |σ (A)| = n, where λ1 , . . . , λk ∈ σ (A) are the distinct eigenvalues of
A. Then there is a nonsingular matrix T ∈ F n×n so that T −1 AT = diag(A11 , . . . , Akk ), where each
A ∈ F ni ×ni is upper triangular with all diagonal entries of Aii equal to λi , for 1 ≤ i ≤ k (and
iik
i =1 ni = n).
14. Let A ∈ F n×n be a block upper triangular matrix, of the form A =

A12
, where Aij is
A22
ni × n j , 1 ≤ i, j ≤ 2, and i2=1 ni = n. (Note that any block upper triangular matrix can be
said to have this form.) Let x be an eigenvector of A11 , with corresponding eigenvalue λ, so that
A11 x = λx, where x is a (column) vector with n1 components. Then the (column) vector with n
components
x
is an eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ. Let y be a left eigenvector of A22 , with
0
corresponding eigenvalue µ, so that yA22 = yµ, where y is a row vector with n2 components. Then
the (row) vector with n components [0 y] is a left eigenvector of A with eigenvalue µ.

17. Let A ∈ F m×m and B ∈ F n×n , with σ (A) = {λ1 , . . . , λm } and σ (B) = {µ1 , . . . , µn }. Then
A ⊗ B ∈ F mn×mn has eigenvalues {λs µt |1 ≤ s ≤ m, 1 ≤ t ≤ n}. Moreover, if the right eigenvectors
of A are denoted xi , and the right eigenvectors of B are denoted y j , so that Axi = λi xi and

20. Let A1 , A2 ∈ F m×m , B1 , B2 ∈ F n×n . If A1 and A2 are similar, and B1 and B2 are similar, then
A1 ⊗ B1 is similar to A2 ⊗ B2 .
21. If A ∈ F m×n , B ∈ F p×q , and X ∈ F n× p , then vec(AX) = (I p ⊗ A)vec(X), vec(X B) =

22. If A ∈ F m×n , B ∈ F p×q , C ∈ F m×q , and X ∈ F n× p , then the equation AX B = C can be written
in the form (B T ⊗ A)vec(X) = vec(C ).
23. Let A ∈ F m×m , B ∈ F n×n , C ∈ F m×n , and X ∈ F m×n . Then the equation AX + X B = C can be
written in the form [(In ⊗ A) + (B T ⊗ Im )]vec(X) = vec(C ).
