háromszögmátrixoknak

Háromszögmátrixoknak is a Hungarian term referring to triangular matrices in linear algebra. There are two main types: upper triangular matrices and lower triangular matrices. An upper triangular matrix has all entries below the main diagonal equal to zero. Conversely, a lower triangular matrix has all entries above the main diagonal equal to zero. A matrix that is both upper and lower triangular is a diagonal matrix, where all off-diagonal elements are zero.

Triangular matrices possess several useful properties. The determinant of a triangular matrix is simply the product of its diagonal entries. This significantly simplifies determinant calculations. The eigenvalues of a triangular matrix are also its diagonal entries. The inverse of an invertible triangular matrix is also triangular, with the same triangularity (upper or lower) as the original matrix.

These matrices are fundamental in many areas of mathematics and computer science. They arise naturally in matrix decomposition techniques such as LU decomposition, where a matrix is factored into a lower triangular matrix (L) and an upper triangular matrix (U). Solving systems of linear equations is also made simpler using triangular matrices. Forward substitution can be used for systems with lower triangular coefficient matrices, and backward substitution for systems with upper triangular coefficient matrices. Their structure makes them computationally efficient for various matrix operations.
