MATRIXTRACE (a)

• $a$ is any matrix.

Description

• This function shows the trace value of the given matrix.
• In $MATRIXTRACE(a)$, $a$ is any matirx.
• The trace of an nxn square matrix is defined to be the sum of all main diagonal entries.
• Consider the matrix A with the elements $(a_{ij})$.
• Here trace of the matrix A is $tr(A)=a_{11}+a_{22}+...a_{nn}$=$\sum _{i=1}^{n}a_{ii}$.Where $a_{ii}$ denotes the entry on the $ith$ row and $ith$ column of A.
• Now consider 3x3 matrix $A={\begin{pmatrix}a&b&c\\d&e&f\\g&h&i\end{pmatrix}}$
• Here tr(A)= a+e+j.
