DETERMINAN SUATU MATRIKS TOEPLITZ K-TRIDIAGONAL MENGGUNAKAN METODE REDUKSI BARIS DAN EKSPANSI KOFAKTOR
Abstract
This paper discusses the determinants of a k-tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix using row reduction and cofactor expansion methods. The analysis was carried out recursively from the general form of the determinant of the tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix, the determinant of the 2-tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix, and the determinant of the 3-tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix. In the end, the general form of the determinant of the k-tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix is obtained.
