English term or phrase: ill-conditioned matrix
Definition from Washington State University - Math:
We call a square matrix A ill-conditioned if it is invertible but can become non-invertible (singular) if some of its entries are changed ever so slightly. The condition number of A is a measure of how ill-conditioned A is and can be found using A and A-1. The bigger the condition number is the more ill-conditioned A is. Well-conditioned matrices have condition numbers close to 1.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ill-conditioned matrices and matrix condition numbers are discussed and an efficient and reliable indicator of ill-conditioned matrices is suggested WILEY online Library
  • Conditioning (9.11.) [TB, Lect. 12] examples for cancellation and an ill-conditioned matrix. Technische Universität München, WS 201
  • The condition number is a measure of stability or sensitivity of a matrix (or the linear system it represents) to numerical operations. In other words, we may not be able to trust the results of computations on an ill-conditioned matrix. Planet Math.org

zle podmienena matica


Definition from own experience or research:
zle podmienena matica, opakom je dobre podmienena matica - well-conditioned matrix

Example sentence(s):
  • Jedným z najväčších problémov numerickej matematiky je riešenie zle podmienených sústav. Niet presnej definície, kedy je sústava zle podmienená a kedy nie; neexistuje žiadna pevná hranica medzi týmito dvoma možnosťami. Vo všeobecnosti sú matica a príslušná sústava lineárnych rovníc zle podmienené, ak inverzná matica A-1 má niektoré prvky veľmi veľké v absolútnej hodnote (veľké vzhľadom k jednotke a vzhľadom k determinantu |A|). - numericka matematika
