In mathematics, particularly linear algebra, a zero matrix or null matrix is a matrix with all its entries being zero. Some examples of zero matrices are : The set of ''m''×''n'' matrices with entries in a ring K forms a ring . The zero matrix is the matrix with all entries equal to , where is the additive identity in K. : The zero matrix is the additive identity in . That is, for all it satisfies : There is exactly one zero matrix of any given size ''m''×''n'' having entries in a given ring, so when the context is clear one often refers to ''the'' zero matrix. In general the zero element of a ring is unique and typically denoted as 0 without any subscript indicating the parent ring. Hence the examples above represent zero matrices over any ring. The zero matrix represents the linear transformation sending all vectors to the zero vector. ==See also== *Identity matrix, the multiplicative identity for matrices *Matrix of ones, a matrix where all elements are one *Single-entry matrix, a matrix where all but one element is zero 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「zero matrix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
