The minor of an n-by-n square matrix is the determinant of a smaller square matrix obtained by removing the row and the column from .
Multiplying the minor with results in the cofactor :
Example: Minors and cofactors of a 3-by-3 matrix
The minors and for example are defined as The corresponding cofactors in that case are |
Example: Minors and cofactors of a 4-by-4 matrix
This example uses the transformation matrix that is introduced in the robotics script in chapter 3 on page 3-37 and used on the following pages.
The minors and for example are defined as
