NumPy Diagonal Matrix: How to Diagonalize a Matrix in NumPy?

This recipe on NumPy Diagonal Matrix offers practical examples, tips, and tricks to efficiently diagonalize matrices using NumPy. | ProjectPro

NumPy provides versatile tools for working with matrices. Diagonalization is a fundamental concept in linear algebra, allowing us to simplify the representation of matrices. This numpy code example helps you understand how to create and diagonalize matrices using NumPy, focusing on practical examples and Python code. 

How to Find the Diagonal Elements of a Matrix Using NumPy?  

Check below the step-by-step instructions on how to find the diagonal elements of a matrix using NumPy - 

Step 1 - Import the library

    import numpy as np

We have only imported numpy which is needed.

Step 2 - Creating a matrix

We have created a matrix on which we will perform the operation.

    matrix = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 23],

                       [4, 5, 6, 25],

                       [7, 8, 9, 28],

                       [10, 11, 12, 41]])

Step 3 - Finding elements

We can find diagonal elements by the function diagonal and by using the sum function we can find the sum of the elements.

    print(matrix.diagonal())    

    print(matrix.diagonal().sum())

So the output comes as

[ 1  5  9 41]

NumPy Diagonal Matrix Example 

Creating a diagonal matrix is a common operation in linear algebra. A diagonal matrix is a special type of square matrix where all off-diagonal elements are zero, and only the elements on the main diagonal have non-zero values. NumPy simplifies the creation of diagonal matrices with the numpy.diag() function.

NumPy Diagonal Matrix Example

How to Diagonalize a Matrix in NumPy? 

Diagonalizing a matrix involves finding a diagonal matrix that is similar to the original matrix. A square matrix A if there exists an invertible matrix P such that P-1AP is a diagonal matrix. NumPy provides the numpy.linalg.eig() function to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which is essential for diagonalization.

NumPy Diagonalize Matrix Example 

For example, we create a 2x2 matrix, compute its eigenvalues and eigenvectors using numpy.linalg.eig(), construct a diagonal matrix using the eigenvalues, and finally diagonalize the original matrix. The resulting output will display the original matrix, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonal matrix, and the diagonalized matrix.
