Abstract

In this paper we present the concept of the generalized trace of a square matrix, which is a natural generalization of the concept of the matrix trace,and discuss the properties of the generalized trace of a matrix and its recursive method of calculation. The main of all the results is as follows, the k order generalized trace of a matrix is equal to the elementary symmetrical polynomial of degree k in all eigenvalues of the matrix.
