Question

A*B*(C^T) *D*B*(A^T) = A*(B^T) Assuming that all matrices are n × n invertible, solve for D

Answer 1

\[ABC^TDBA^T = AB^T\]\[(AB)^{-1}ABC^TDBA^T =(AB)^{-1} AB^T\]\[I_nC^TDBA^T =(AB)^{-1} AB^T\]\[C^TDBA^T (DBA^T)^{-1}=(AB)^{-1} AB^T(DBA^T)^{-1}\]\[C^T=((AB)^{-1} AB^T(DBA^T)^{-1})\]\[C=(B^{-1}A^{-1}AB^T(A^T)^{-1}B^{-1}D^{-1})^T\]\[C=(B^{-1}I_nB^T(A^T)^{-1}B^{-1}D^{-1})^T\]\[C=(D^T)^{-1}(B^T)^{-1}A^{-1}B(B^T)^{-1}\]

Answer 2

this is solve for C my question was to solve for D

Answer 3

Lol whoops do you see what I did at least? Try to replicate it, I don't have time to re-do this. If no one answers this question next time I check (may be a couple days), then I'll answer it.

Answer 4

yeah, but on the 3 line there IC^T...and on the four the I is gone why is that ?

Answer 5

I is the identity matrix, any matrix Q like so makes I:
\[QQ^{-1}=I\]In the spot you're looking at Q=AB.
Also, I follows the following property:
\[AI=IA=A\] for any A

Answer 6

ok so once your albe to reduce to I you can just remove it for the equation

Answer 7

yes
