Matrices Whose Inverses are Tridiagonal, Band or Block-Tridiagonal and Their Relationship with the Covariance Matrices of a Random Markov Process

Ulan BRİMKULOV

The article discusses the matrices of the form A(n)(1), A(n)(m), A(N)(m), whose inverses are: tridiagonal matrix A(n)(-1) (n - dimension of the A(N)(-m) matrix), banded matrix A(n)(-m) (m is the half-width band of the matrix) or block-tridiagonal matrix A(N)(-m) (N = n x m - full dimension of the block matrix; m - the dimension of the blocks) and their relationships with the covariance matrices of measurements with ordinary (simple) Markov Random Processes (MRP), multiconnected MRP and vector MRP, respectively. Such covariance matrices frequently occur in the problems of optimal filtering, ext ...Более
