New method to calculate determinants of nxn matrix, by reducing determinants to 2nd order
Armend Salihu Department of Telecommunication, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Prishtina, Prishtine, Kosovo Email Address: ar.salihu@gmail.com Abstract

In this paper we will present a new method to calculate of nxn order determinants. This method is based on Dodgson Chios condensation method, but the priority of this method compared with Dodgson Chios and minors method as well is that those methods decreases the order of determinants for one, and this new method automatically affects in reducing the order of determinants in 2nd order. Keywords: New method to calculate determinants of nxn matrix.

1. Introduction
Let A be a nxn matrix:

DEFINITION 1: A determinant of order n, or size nxn (see: [5], [6], [7], [8]), is the sum:

ranging over the symmetric permutation group Sn, where:

1.2. Chios Condensation method


Chios Condensation is a method for evaluating an nxn determinant in terms of (n-1)x(n-1) determinants (see: [1], [2]):

1.2. Dodgson Condensation method


The Dodgsons condensation method is a method, which determinants of the order nxn expansion in determinant of the (n 1)x(n 1) order, than (n 2)x(n 2) order and so one (see: [3]).

1.2. Dodgson Condensation method


Dodgson Condensation Method algorithm can be described in the following 4 steps (see: [10]): 1. Let A be the given nxn matrix. Arrange A so that no zeros occur in its interior. An explicit definition of interior would be all ai,j with i, j 1, n. We can do this using any operation that could normally perform without changing the value of determinant, such as adding a multiple of one row to another. 2. Create an (n-1)x(n-1) matrix B, consisting of the determinants of every 2x2 sub matrix of A, we write 3. Using this (n-1)x(n-1) matrix, perform step 2 to obtain an (n-2)x(n-2) matrix C. Divide each term in C by the corresponding term in the interior of A.

4. Let A = B, and B = C. Repeat step 3 as necessary until the 1x1 matrix is found; its only entry is the determinant.

2. New method
This method is based on Dodgson and Chio's method, but the deference between them is that this new method is resolved by calculating 4 unique determinants of (n 1)x(n 1) order (which can be derived from determinants of nxn order, if we remove first row and first column or first row and last column or last row and first column or last row and last column, elements that belongs to only one of unique determinants we should call them unique elements), and one determinant of (n 2)x(n 2) order which is formed from nxn order determinant with elements aij with i, j 1, n, on condition that the determinant of (n 2)x(n 2) 0.

2. New method
Theorem 1: Every determinant of nxn (n>2) order can be reduced into 2x2 order determinant, by calculating 4 determinants of (n-1)x(n-1) order, and one determinant of (n-2)x(n-2) order, on condition that (n-2)x(n-2) order determinants to be different from zero. Ongoing is presented a scheme of calculating the determinants of nxn order according to this formula:

The |B| is (n-2)x(n-2) order determinant which is the interior determinant of determinant |A| while |C|, |D|, |E| and |F| are unique determinant of (n-1)x(n-1) order, which can be formed from nxn order determinants.

Proof: Lets be n=4, and we will prove that the same result we can achieve when we calculate this determinant according to the above scheme:

2. New method (cont.)


Based on this we can outcome to the result: all combinations from which

does not contain one of combinations from |B| determinant, and does not contain one of unique elements, as a result of crossed multiplication, they should be eliminated between each other, while other combinations which contain one of combinations from |B| determinant, extract as common elements and after divided by determinant |B| we get the result of the given determinant.
