- Description: NCInverse[
] gives a symbolic inverse of a matrix with noncommutative
entries.
- Arguments:
is an
matrix with noncommutative entries.
- Comments / Limitations:
This command is primarily used symbolically and is not guarenteed to
work for any specific examples.
Usually the elements of the inverse matrix (
) are huge expressions.
We recommend using NCSimplifyRational[NCInverse[
]] to improve the
formula you get.
In some cases, NCSimplifyRational[
] does not
provide the identity matrix, even though it does equal the identity matrix.
The formula we use for NCInverse[] comes from the LDU decomposition.
Thus in principle it depends on the order chosen for pivoting even if the
inverse of a matrix is unique.
