Minors

Usage

Minors[m] gives the minors of a matrix m.
Minors[m, k] gives   minors.


Notes

• For an  matrix the   element of Minors[m] gives the determinant of the matrix obtained by deleting the   row and the   column of m.
Map[Reverse, Minors[m], {0,1}] makes the   element correspond to deleting the   row and   column of m.
Minors[m] is equivalent to Minors[m, n-1].
Minors[m, k] gives the determinants of the  submatrices obtained by picking each possible set of  rows and  columns from m.
• Each element in the result corresponds to taking rows and columns with particular lists of positions. The ordering of the elements is such that reading across or down the final matrix the successive lists of positions appear in lexicographic order.
• For an  matrix Minors[m, k] gives a  matrix.
Minors[m, k, f] applies the function f rather than Det to each of the submatrices picked out.
• See Section 3.7.7.
• See also: Det, Delete.
