Diagonal MatrixA diagonal matrix is a Matrix of the form
 | (1) |
where is the Kronecker Delta, are constants, and there is no summation over indices. The generaldiagonal matrix is therefore Square and of the form
 | (2) |
Given a Matrix equation of the form
 | (3) |
multiply through to obtain
 | (4) |
Since in general, for , this can be true only if off-diagonal components vanish.Therefore, A must be diagonal.
Given a diagonal matrix ,
