Determine whether a matrix is separable












0














I wonder whether there is a simple way(e.g. if asked in exam) to determine if a matrix is separable. If yes, how can we write the separated parts? For example, Gaussian Blur kernel is separable.



$$frac1{256}cdotbegin{bmatrix}
1&4&6&4&1\
4&16&24&16&4\
6&24&36&24&6\
4&16&24&16&4\
1&4&6&4&1
end{bmatrix}
=
frac1{256}cdotbegin{bmatrix}
1\4\6\4\1
end{bmatrix}cdotbegin{bmatrix}
1&4&6&4&1
end{bmatrix}
$$



I have two matrices asked in old-exams. How to do my wish on the following matrices?



$$A = frac1{4}cdotbegin{bmatrix}
-1&-2&-1\
-2&16&-2\
-1&-2&-1\
end{bmatrix}
$$



$$B = begin{bmatrix}
-1&-3&-1\
0&0&0\
1&3&1\
end{bmatrix}
$$

    If it's separable, each row is a scalar multiple of the same row. In particular, the rank is $1$
