(a) Show that the diagonal entries of a positive definite matrix are positive numbers. (b) Show that if B is a nonsingular square matrix, then BTB is an SPD matrix.(Hint. you simply need to show the positive definiteness, which does requires the nonsingularity of B.)

Rules for positive definite matrix. What are they? My text book explains them in a very confusing way. Also: "A matrix A is said to be positive definite if it is symmetric and if and only if each of its leading principal sub matrices has a positive determinate" How do I get the leading principal sub matrices?

Consider A, B and C, all nxn matrices. Show that: 1) det(A)=det(A^T) 2) if C was obtained from A by changing the i-th row (column) with the j-th row (column). Show that det(C)=-det(A) 3) det(AB)=det(A)det(B) 4) Let C be a matrix obtained from A by multiplying a row by c ∈ F. Show that det(B)=c · det(A)

Write a recursive program in C++ to compute the determinant of an NxN matrix, A. Your program should ask the user to enter the value of N, followed by the path of a file where the entries of the matrix could be found. It should then read the file, compute the determinant and return its value. Compile and run your program.
