This week I was dealing with image processing and linear algebra, and I neededa quick derivation of a specific kind of matrix.With GNU Octave to the rescue, this cost me only a few minutes!This article represents my notes from this little journey from the mathematicalderivation of the matrix and the symbolic solution that I then ported to C++.

The trace of an $latex n\times n$ matrix is the sum of its diagonal elements: $latex \mathrm{trace}(A) = \sum_{i=1}^n a_{ii}$. The trace is linear, that is, $latex \mathrm{trace}(A+B) = \mathrm{trace}(A) + \mathrm{trace}(B)$, and $latex \mathrm{trace}(A) = \mathrm{trace}(A^T)$. A key fact is that the trace is also the sum of the eigenvalues. The proof is by...

Selected Exercises # 5.A # 12. Define $ T \in \mathcal L(\mathcal P_4(\mathbf{R})) $ by $$ (Tp)(x) = xp'(x) $$ for all $ x \in \mathbf{R} $. Find all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $ T $. Observe that, if $ p = a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + a_3 x^3 + a_4 x^4 $, then $$ x p'(x) = a_1 x + 2 a_2 x^2 + 3 a_3 x^3 + 4 a_4 x^4.
