Kronecker product and a related useful conjecture
Abstract This paper not only explores in detail the basic properties of the Kronecker product, such as the application of the union law, the distributive law, the transpose and the conjugate transpose, as well as the trace and the rank of the Kronecker product, but also rigorously proves these properties by means of mathematical induction or direct proofs. In addition, this paper extends these properties to Kronecker n-matrices and explores the applicability of inverse matrices and determinants to Kronecker products. More importantly, we introduce a conjecture related to the long-standing problem of distillability, which is partially solved when the number of nonzero elements is restricted. By showing the framework of the proof of the conjecture and a special case, we provide new perspectives for further research in this area.
