Miscellaneous results about determinant #
In this file, we collect various formulas about determinant of matrices.
Let M be a (n+1) Ć n matrix whose row sums to zero. Then all the matrices obtained by
deleting one row have the same determinant up to a sign.
Let M be a (n+1) Ć n matrix whose column sums to zero. Then all the matrices obtained by
deleting one column have the same determinant up to a sign.
Let M be a (n+1) Ć (n+1) matrix. Assume that all columns, but the jā-column, sums to zero.
Then its determinant is, up to sign, the sum of the jā-column times the determinant of the
matrix obtained by deleting any row and the jā-column.
Let M be a (n+1) Ć (n+1) matrix. Assume that all rows, but the iā-row, sums to zero.
Then its determinant is, up to sign, the sum of the iā-row times the determinant of the
matrix obtained by deleting the iā-row and any column.
