How to find the inverse of a matrix obtained by cyclically permuting the rows of a known matrix without recomputing it?
Conditions
- The original matrix is invertible.
- The new matrix is formed by a cyclic permutation of the original matrix's rows.
- The inverse of the original matrix is already known.
Reasoning, step by step
- Identify the row permutation applied to the original matrix to form the new matrix.
- Determine the corresponding column permutation that must be applied to the original inverse matrix.
- Apply the column permutation to the known inverse matrix.
- Verify that the product of the new matrix and the permuted inverse equals the identity matrix.
Example
Given and its inverse , if the new matrix is , the rows of are permuted as 3, 1, 2. Therefore, the columns of must be permuted as 3, 1, 2, yielding .
Common misconceptions
- Believing that hard calculation using the adjugate matrix or Gaussian elimination is required for every inverse matrix problem.
- Assuming that having the same set of elements in a candidate matrix automatically makes it the inverse, ignoring the importance of row and column positions.
- Thinking that when the rows of the original matrix are rearranged, the columns of the inverse matrix remain in their original order.
