For a triangular matrix, if we choose an element off the diagonal, we are then forced to choose one in the \(0\)s thus making that factor \(0\). The only valid permutation is thus the \(\text{id}\), which means we just multiply the diagonals.

Back

ETH::1._Semester::LinAlg::7._The_determinant::2._The_general_case::1._Properties
Given a permutation matrix \(P \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}\) corresponding to a permutation \(\sigma\), then \(\det(P) = {{c1::\text{sgn}(\sigma)}}\) 

(this is as \(P\) is also an orthogonal matrix, see 3.). We sometimes write \(\text{sgn}(P)\).

For the permutation matrix, each row contains only one entry: a \(1\). Thus the only permutation \(\sigma\) in the product that doesn't have a \(0\) factor is the permutation corresponding to the matrix \(P\) itself. The product is \(1 \cdot 1 \dots \cdot 1\) thus we get \(\text{sgn}(\sigma) = \text{sgn}(P)\).
