To add the diagonal values of matrix ‘a’, we need to use the trace(a) command to do it in Matlab®.
For example ‘b’ is the diagonal addition value of matrix ‘a’ obtained with trace() command as shown above in Matlab®.
‘c’ is the multiplication of diagonal addition value of matrix ‘a’ with 5 that shows it is possible to make mathematical calculations with diagonal addition values of matrices as shown above in Matlab®.
‘d’ is the exponentiated value of diagonal summation of the matrix ‘a’ with 3 that also shows all of the mathematical calculations are valid for trace() command in Matlab®.
Conclusion
So it is very easy to take the diagonal summations of matrices in Matlab® with trace() command.
