Question

A common notation for a permutation $\pi$ of the integers $\{1, \ldots, m\}$ is as a $2 \times m$ $\operatorname{matrix}\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1 & 2 & 3 & \ldots & m \\ \pi(1) & \pi(2) & \pi(3) & \ldots & \pi(m)\end{array}\right)$, indicating that $\pi$ takes $i$ to $\pi(i)$. (a) Show that such a permutation corresponds to the permutation matrix with 1's in positions $(\pi(j), j)$ for $j=1, \ldots, m$. (b) Write down the permutation matrices corresponding to the following permutations: (i) $\left(\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right)$, (ii) $\left(\begin{array}{llll}1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 4 & 2 & 3 & 1\end{array}\right)$, (iii) $\left(\begin{array}{llll}1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 4 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right)$, (iv) $\left(\begin{array}{lllll}1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right)$. Which are elementary matrices? (c) Write down, using the preceding notation, the permutations corresponding to the following permutation matrices: (i) $\left(\begin{array}{lll}0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right)$, (ii) $\left(\begin{array}{llll}0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right)$, (iii) $\left(\begin{array}{llll}0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right)$, (iv) $\left(\begin{array}{lllll}0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right)$.

Key Concepts

-
Elementary Matrix
An elementary matrix is derived by performing a single elementary row operation on an identity matrix. In the context of permutations, some permutation matrices are elementary matrices corresponding to a simple transposition (swapping two rows or columns). These matrices are important in linear algebra because they provide the building blocks for more complex matrix manipulations such as Gaussian elimination.
Permutation
A permutation is a bijective function that rearranges the elements of a finite set. It can be represented in different notations, such as two?row notation or cycle notation, and is a fundamental concept in group theory and combinatorics because it encapsulates the idea of reordering elements.
Permutation Matrix
A permutation matrix is a square matrix formed by permuting the rows (or columns) of an identity matrix according to a given permutation. In such a matrix, each row and each column has exactly one entry of 1 with all other entries 0, and the position of the ones directly corresponds to the action of the permutation, typically indicated by positions (?(j), j).

Problem 3: (25 pts.) A permutation on the set S = {1,2,3,4} is a one-to-one and onto function σ : S → S. That is, σ 're-assigns' the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. One example of a permutation is σ(1) = 2 σ(2) = 1 σ(3) = 4 σ(4) = 3. There are exactly 4! = 24 different permutations of S. These correspond precisely to the different ways to order the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. If we are given a permutation σ, we get linear transformation T : R^4 → R^4 by T(e1) = eσ(1), T(e2) = eσ(2), T(e3) = eσ(3), T(e4) = eσ(4). where, as usual, e1 = (1, 0, 0, 0), e2 = (0, 1, 0, 0), e3 = (0, 0, 1, 0), e4 = (0, 0, 0, 1). The permutations of S alone give us 24 different linear transformations of R^4. The matrix of a linear transformation determined by a permutation is called a permutation matrix. (a) Write down the permutation matrix of the permutation σ given above in equations (1). Call this matrix A for the remainder of this problem.
