We now study some basic properties of the kronecker product in the following theorems.
Lemma 1. If A 2 M (m; n) and B 2 M (p; q) then
(1) ( A) B = A ( B) 8 2 C
(2) (A B)T = AT B T
(3) (A B) = A
B
(4) (A B) C = A (B C) for C 2 M (r; s)
(5) A (B + C) = A B + A C for A 2 M (m; n) and B; C 2 M (p; q)
(6) (A + B) C = A C + B C for A; B 2 M (m; n) and C 2 M (p; q)
(7) A B = O if and only if either A = O or B = O:
Proof: We have
( A) B = ( aij B)ij = (aij B)ij = A ( B)
This gives (1) : To prove (2), We calculate

It follows from this lemma that if A and B are square matrices then, eigenvalues of A B
are same as that of B A. Hence tr (A B) = tr (B A) and det (A B) = det (B A) :
Lemma 5. Let A 2 M (n) and B 2 M (m). If
2 (A) and x 2 Cn is a corresponding
eigenvector of A and if 2 (B) and y 2 Cm is a corresponding eigenvector of B then +
is an eigenvalue of the kronecker sum (Im A) + (B In ) and y x 2 Cmn is corresponding
eigenvector.
Proof: We have
Ax = x and By = y

The Hadamard product of matrix A = [aij ] 2 M (m; n) and B = [bij ] 2 M (m; n) denoted by
A B is dened as
A B = (aij bij ) 2 M (m; n) :
Thus B A = (bij aij ) = (aij bij ) = A B: Also
A (B C) = aij (bij cij ) = (aij bij ) cij = (A B) C and
A (B + C) = aij (bij + cij ) = aij bij + aij cij = A B + A C:
We now study few results on Hadamard product of matrices:
