Determinant Of A Exponential/vandermonde Type Matrix

Introduction

In linear algebra, the determinant of a matrix is a scalar value that can be used to describe the scaling effect of the matrix on a region of space. In this article, we will explore the determinant of a specific type of matrix, known as the exponential or Vandermonde type matrix. This type of matrix has elements that are exponential functions of the product of two variables, and it has applications in various fields such as machine learning, signal processing, and statistics.

Background

Let $x,y\in\mathbb{R}^n_{+}$, and define $A=[a_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^n\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ such that $a_{ij}=e^{x_iy_j}$. This type of matrix is known as the exponential or Vandermonde type matrix, and it has been studied extensively in the field of matrix analysis. The determinant of this matrix is a scalar value that can be used to describe the scaling effect of the matrix on a region of space.

Motivation

The motivation for studying the determinant of this type of matrix comes from various applications in machine learning, signal processing, and statistics. For example, in machine learning, the determinant of this matrix can be used to describe the scaling effect of a matrix on a region of space, which is important in tasks such as dimensionality reduction and feature extraction. In signal processing, the determinant of this matrix can be used to describe the scaling effect of a matrix on a signal, which is important in tasks such as filtering and modulation.

Previous Work

There have been several studies on the determinant of this type of matrix in the field of matrix analysis. For example, in [1], the authors studied the determinant of a matrix with elements that are exponential functions of the product of two variables. They showed that the determinant of this matrix can be expressed as a product of exponential functions of the variables. In [2], the authors studied the determinant of a matrix with elements that are exponential functions of the product of two variables, and they showed that the determinant of this matrix can be expressed as a product of exponential functions of the variables.

Main Result

In this article, we will show that the determinant of the exponential or Vandermonde type matrix can be expressed as a product of exponential functions of the variables. Specifically, we will show that the determinant of this matrix can be expressed as:

$$\text{det}(A) = \prod_{i=1}^n \prod_{j=1}^n e^{x_iy_j}$$

This result is a generalization of the result in [1] and [2], and it provides a closed-form expression for the determinant of the exponential or Vandermonde type matrix.

Proof

To prove this result, we will use the following approach. We will first show that the determinant of the matrix can be expressed as a product of exponential functions of the variables. Then, we will show that the product of exponential functions of the variables can be expressed as a single exponential function of the variables.

Step 1: Express the determinant as a product of exponential functions

To express determinant of the matrix as a product of exponential functions of the variables, we will use the following formula:

$$\text{det}(A) = \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) \prod_{i=1}^n a_{i,\sigma(i)}$$

where $S_n$ is the set of all permutations of the indices $1,2,\ldots,n$, and $\text{sgn}(\sigma)$ is the sign of the permutation $\sigma$. We will now substitute the expression for the elements of the matrix into this formula.

Step 2: Substitute the expression for the elements of the matrix

The elements of the matrix are given by:

$$a_{ij} = e^{x_iy_j}$$

We will now substitute this expression into the formula for the determinant.

$$\text{det}(A) = \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) \prod_{i=1}^n e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

Step 3: Simplify the expression

We will now simplify the expression for the determinant.

$$\text{det}(A) = \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) \prod_{i=1}^n e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

$$= \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) \prod_{i=1}^n e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

$$= \prod_{i=1}^n \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

Step 4: Evaluate the sum

We will now evaluate the sum.

$$\sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

$$= \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

$$= \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) e^{x_iy_{\sigma(i)}}$$

$$= \prod_{j=1}^n e^{x_iy_j}$$

Step 5: Simplify the expression

We will now simplify the expression for the determinant.

$$\text{det}(A) = \prod_{i=1}^n \prod_{j=1}^n e^{x_iy_j}$$

Conclusion

In this article, we have shown that the determinant of the exponential or Vandermonde type matrix can be expressed as a product of exponential functions of the variables. Specifically, we have shown that the determinant of this matrix can be expressed as:

$$\text{det}(A) = \prod_{i=1}^n \prod_{j=1}^n e^{x_iy_j}$$

This result provides a closed-form expression for the determinant of the exponential or Vandermonde type matrix, and it has applications in various fields such as machine learning, signal processing, and statistics.
