Talk:Supermatrix

message: The contents of this article need to be merged with block matrix. This article should really discuss the notion of a Z2-graded matrix (i.e. a linear transformation between super vector spaces). -- Fropuff 18:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't some of the regression-analysis oriented material stand alone, really? I would agree that stuff at the beginning and end should be at block matrix. Charles Matthews 19:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree. I'm not sure the best place to stick it though. Maybe the authors have some suggestions. -- Fropuff 19:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It is likely that you secured the majority opinion before you posted your redirect notice, as Charles Matthews supported your proposal within less than fifteen minutes. We both know that your assertion that "I don't want to destroy another's work. On the contrary I want to preserve it" is only a platitude. What you really want is to take over this entry and use it for yourself. So have it. I have better things to do with my life than to waste time with people like you.

replies: text: That's rather harsh, don't you think? I'm trying to work with you here. Can we try and be constructive? I certainly did not "secure anyone's position" before posting the merge notice. Charles watches over thousands of math pages. His comment was entirely of his own volition. -- Fropuff 06:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to suggest getting User:Michael Hardy involved. The inferences made are unfounded. Charles Matthews 07:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The merge tags direct the discussion to Talk:Block matrix. None-the-less, I'll post an opinion here:
* Merge. This appears to be substantially similar to block matrix. It also fails to cover the other notion of a supermatrix, coming from supersymmetry, so that lead to some momentary confusion.  linas 20:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The symbol A in the section ===Scalar multiplication=== should be defined.  Or should the symbol have been R? Xronon (talk) 15:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the catch. Yes A should have been R. My apologies that it took me (almost exactly) one year to notice. I need to visit Wikipedia more often -- Fropuff (talk) 05:43, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

message: One can find another, unrelated use of the term "Supermatrix" in medical sciences. On page 4 (marked page 70 in the compendium) of the published article http://anale-informatica.tibiscus.ro/download/lucrari/9-1-06-Jankovic.pdf there is a reference to the Supermatrix, as an abbreviation for "Superposition matrix". It is used for visualization of rewarming processes in the diagnosis and staging of the Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havs . Among other references, the article cites one by the same author, where he presents the overview and results of the method: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/joh/50/5/50_L7140/_pdf . Both articles are scientific and peer reviewed. Hence, I recommend adding a disambiguation for the term "Supermatrix", or mentioning of "Other uses of the term".
