multiplication used is ordinary matrix multiplication. If this is the case‚ then the matrix B is uniquely determined by A and is called the inverse of A‚ denoted by A −1 . It follows from the theory of matrices that if for finite square matrices A and B‚ then also [1] Non-square matrices (m-by-n matrices for which m ≠ n) do not have an inverse. However‚ in some cases such a matrix may have a left inverse or right inverse. If A is m-by-n and the rank of A is equal to n‚ then A has a left inverse:

In mathematics‚ a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array of numbers‚ symbols‚ or expressions‚ arranged in rows and columns.[1][2] The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries. An example of a matrix with 2 rows and 3 columns is Matrices of the same size can be added or subtracted element by element. But the rule for matrix multiplication is that two matrices can be multiplied only when the number of columns in the first equals the number of rows in the second. A

Random matrices have fascinated mathematicians and physicists since they were first introduced in mathe- matical statistics by Wishart in 1928. After a slow start‚ the subject gained prominence when Wigner introduced the concept of statistical distribution of nuclear energy levels in 1950. Since then‚ random matrix theory has matured into a field with applications in many branches of physics and mathematics‚ and nowadays random matrices find applications in fields as diverse as the Riemann

analysis is widely used in strategic management [2‚ 3‚ 6]. It offers a view of the position of the organization in its environment and suggests generic strategies for the future.
