Title On the block triangular form of symmetric matrices (revised)
Contributors
Abstract We present some observations on the block triangular form (btf) of symmetric, structurally rank deficient, square, sparse matrices. As the matrix is square and structurally rank deficient, its canonical btf has at least one underdetermined and one overdetermined block. We prove that the square block of the canonical btf, if present, has a special fine structure. These findings help us recover symmetry around the anti-diagonal in the block traingular matrix. We also visit the full rank symmetric case.
