Description: The identity matrix is a the simplest nontrivial diagonal matrix, defined such that I(X)=X (1) for all vectors X. An identity matrix may be denoted 1, I, E (the latter being an abbreviation for the German term "Einheitsmatrix"; Courant and Hilbert 1989, p. 7), or occasionally I, with a subscript sometimes used to indicate the dimension of the matrix. Identity matrices are sometimes also known as unit matrices (Akivis and Goldberg 1972, p. 71). The n×n identity matrix is...
