Miscellaneous results about determinant #
In this file, we collect various formulas about determinant of matrices.
Let M be a (n+1) × 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) × 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) × (n+1) matrix. Assume that all columns, but the j₀-column, sums to zero.
Then its determinant is, up to sign, the sum of the j₀-column times the determinant of the
matrix obtained by deleting any row and the j₀-column.
Let M be a (n+1) × (n+1) matrix. Assume that all rows, but the i₀-row, sums to zero.
Then its determinant is, up to sign, the sum of the i₀-row times the determinant of the
matrix obtained by deleting the i₀-row and any column.
