List of named matrices

This article lists some important classes of matrices used in mathematics, science and engineering.

Finally, many domains, both in mathematics and other sciences including physics and chemistry, have particular matrices that are applied chiefly in these areas.

The list below comprises matrices whose elements are constant for any given dimension (size) of matrix.

The following matrices find their main application in statistics and probability theory.

The following matrices find their main application in graph and network theory.

Several important classes of matrices are subsets of each other.
