ON THE PRODUCTS OF QUADRATIC INFINITE MATRICES OVER FIELDS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Let be a field, and a quadratic polynomial is given in . We denote by the ring of infinite upper triangular matrices over . A matrix is called a quadratic matrix with respect to if . In this article, we will investigate the decomposition of infinite matrices in as products of quadratic matrices with respect to in . Our main result states that for any positive integer k ( ), every matrix in whose diagonal entries are equal to can be expressed as a product of at most quadratic matrices with respect to in , where is a quadratic polynomial has two roots This result is significant as it provides a direct derivation of a well-known theorem by Słowik (2013) and opens new directions for further research in the decomposition of infinite matrices and their applications.
