In mathematics, a hollow matrix may refer to one of several related classes of matrix.

Sparse

A hollow matrix may be one with "few" non-zero entries: that is, a sparse matrix.[1]

Diagonal entries all zero

A hollow matrix may be a square matrix whose diagonal elements are all equal to zero .[2] The most obvious example is the real skew-symmetric matrix. Other examples are the adjacency matrix of a finite simple graph; a distance matrix or Euclidean distance matrix.

If A is an n×n hollow matrix, then the elements of A are given by

In other words, any square matrix which takes the form   is a hollow matrix.

For example:   is an example of a hollow matrix.

Properties

  • The trace of A is trivially zero.
  • The linear map represented by A (with respect to a fixed basis) maps each basis vector e onto the image of the complement of <e>.

Block of zeroes

A hollow matrix may be a square n×n matrix with an r×s block of zeroes where r+s>n.[3]
