Orthagonality

Orthogonal Projection

The orthogonal decomposition theorem

Let W be a subspace of R^n. Then each y ∈R^n can be written uniquely in the form y = y-hat + z where y-hat ∈W and z ∈W⊥ In fact, if {u1,...,up} is any orthogonal basis of W, then y-hat = (y·u1/u1·u1)u1+(y·u2/u2·u2)u2+...+(y·up/up·up)up and z = y - y-hat

The vector y-hat ∈ the Orthogonal decomposition theorem is called the orthogonal projection of y onto W and often is written as proj_[w]_y

The length of z, ||z||, is the distance between y and the vector space W.

Given a nonzero vector u ∈ R^n, we can decompose any vector y in R^n as y = y-hat + z where y-hat=αu for some scalar α and z is some vector orthogonal to u. The vector y-hat is called the orthogonal projection of y onto u, and the vector z is called the component of y orthogonal to u.

it can be shown that y-hat = (y·u/u·u)u

Orthogonal Sets

An orthogonal basis for a subspace W of R^n is a basis for W that is also an orthogonal set

Let {u1,...,up} be an orthogonal basis for a subspace W of R^n. For each y in W, the weights in the linear combination y=c1u1+...+cpup are given by cj=y·uj/uj·uj

We can apply the Gram-Schmidt process to produce an orthogonal basis for any nonzero subspace or R^n

A set of vectors {u1,...,up} ∈ R^n is said to be an orthogonal set if each pair of distinct vectors from the set is orthogonal, that is, ui·uj=0 when i is not equal to j

Length, Distance, and Perpendicularity ∈ R^n

If a vector z is orthogonal to every vector in a subspace W of R^n, then z is said to be orthogonal to W. The set of all vectors z that are orthogonal to W is called the orthogonal complement of W and is denoted by W⊥

W=Span{[1,0]} W⊥=Span{[0,1]}

Two vectors are orthogonal to each other if

||u+v||^2=||u||^2+||v||^2

u·v=0

u^T * v

For u and v ∈ R^n, the distance between u and v, written as dist(u,v) is the length of the vector u-v. ||u-v||

Normalization

A vector whose length is 1 is called a unit vector. Given a vector v, the new vector u=v / ||v|| is a unit vector in the same direction as v

||av||=a||v||

The length or norm of v is the nonnegative scalar ||v|| defined by ||v||=sqrt(v·v) and ||v||^2 = v·v

Let u and v be vectors ∈ R^n with u=[u1,u2,...,un] and v=[v1,v2,...,vn]. Then the inner product (or DOT PRODUCT) of u and v, written u·v is u1v1+u2v2+...+unvn

u·v=(u^T)(v)

Symmetric Matrices

A symmetric matrix is a matrix such that A^T = A. Such a matrix is necessarily square

The Spectral Theorem for Symmetric Matrices

An nxn symmetric matrix has the following properties

A is orthogonally diagonalizable

The eigenspaces are mutually orthogonal

The dimension of the eigenspace for each eigenvalueλ equals the multiplicity of λ as a root of the characteristic equation

A has n real eigenvalues, counting multiplicities

A matrix A is said to be orthogonally diagonalizable if there are an othogonal matrix P (with P^-1 = P^T) and a Diagonalizable matrix D such that A = PDP^T=PDP^-1

An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix U such that U^-1 = U^T. Clearly the set of all column vectors from an orthogonal matrix forms an orthogonal set of unit vectors.

An nxn matrix A is orthogonally diagonalizable if and only if A isa symmetric matrix

If A is symmetric, then any two eigenvectors from different eigenspaces are orthogonal

Eigenvalues

Steps for Diagonalization (the eigen process)

Let A be an nxn matrix.

Find corresponding eigenvectors for eigenvalues of A by solving (A - λI)x=0

The dimension of the eigenspace is equal to the number of free variables in (A -λI)x=0

If the dimension of the eigenspace for each eigenvalue equals the multiplicity of that eigenvalue, then A is Diagonalizable

A=PDP^-1, where P is formed by the Eigenvectors and D is formed by the Eigenvalues corresponding the the eigenvectors

If the dimension of the eigenspace for each eigenvalue is not equal to the multiplicity of that eigenvalue, then A is NOT diagonalizable

All eigenvaectors and the zero vector from an eigenspace for each eigenvalue

Solve det(A - λI)=0 for λ to find all eigenvalues.

Check the algebraic multiplicity

Eigenvectors

Diagonalization Theorem

An nxn matrix is diagonalizable if and only if the sum of the dimensions of the distinct eigenspaces equals n, and this happens if and only if the dimension of the eigenspace for each eigenvalue equals the multiplicity of that eigenvalue

An nxn matrix with n distinct eigenvalues is diagonalizable

A=PDP^-1, with D a diagonal matrix, if and only if the columns of P are n Linearly independent eigenvectors of A. In this case, the diagonal entries of D are eigenvalues of A that correspond , respectively to the eigenvectors in P.

A square matrix is said to be diagonalizable if A is similar to a diagonal matrix, that is, if A=PDP^-1 for some invertible matrix P and some Diagonal matrix D.

An nxn matrix A is diagonalizable if and only if A has n Linearly independent eigenvectors.

If v1, ..., vr are eigenvectors that correspond to distinct eigenvalues λ1, ..., λr of an nxn matrix A, then the set {v1,...,vr} is linearly independent

Let λ be an eigenvalue of a square matrix A. Then the set consisting of the zero vector and all the eigenvectors corresponding to λ iscalled the eigenspace of A corresponding to λ. Note that the eigenspace of A corresponding to λ is Nul (A - λI)

If A is an nxn matrix, then det(A -λI) is a polynomial of degree n in λ, which is called the characteristic polynomial of A. The algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue λ is its multiplicity as a root of the characteristic equation.

The eigenvalues of a triangular matrix are the entries on its main diagonal

0 is an eigenvalue of a square matrix A if and only if A is not invertible

The scalar equation det(A - λI) = 0 is called the characteristic equation of A

A scalar λ is an eigenvalue of an nxn matrix A if and only if λ satisfies the characteristic equation det(A - λI)=0

λ is an eigenvalue of A if and only if the equation (A - λI)x=0 has a nontrivial solution

An eigenvalue of an nxn matrix A is a nonzero vector x such that Ax=λx for some scalar λ.. A scalar λ is called an eigenvalue of A if there is a nontrivial solution x of Ax=λx; such an x is called an eigenvector corresponding to λ

An eigenvector must be nonzero, but an eigenvalue may be zero

Dimension of a Vector Space

The Basis Theorem

Let V be a p-dimensional vector space, p at least 1. Any Linearly independent set of exactly p elements in V is automatically a basis for V. Any set of exactly p elements that spans V is automatically a basis for V.

If a vector space V has a basis of n vectors then every basis of V must consist of exactly n vectors

If a vector space V has a basis B = {b1, ..., bn}, then any set in V containing more than n vectors must be linearly dependent

Coordinate Systems

Suppose B={b1, ..., bn} is a basis for V and x is ∈ V. The coordinates of x relative to the basis B (or the B-coordinates of x) are the weights c1, ..., cn such that x=c1b1+...+cnbn. If c1,..., cn are the B-coordinates of x, then the vector in R^n [x]B = [c1,c2,...,cn] is the coordinate vector of x relative to B, or the B coordinate vector of x.

The mapping x |-> [x]B is the coordinate mapping (determined by B)

Let B = {b1, ..., bn} be a basis for a vector space V. Then the coordinate mapping x |-> [x]B is a one-to-one linear transformation from V onto R^n

The Unique Representation Theorem

Let B = {b1, ..., bn} be a basis for a vector space V. Then for each x ∈ V, there exists a unique set of scalars c1, ..., cn such that x=c1b1+...+cnbn

Basis

Let S be a basis for a vector space V. Then

S is also a Linearly independent set that is as large as possible because adding any vector to S results in a linearly dependent set

Span

S is a spanning set that is as small as possible because deleting any vector from S results in a non-spanning set of V

The pivot columns of A form a basis for Col A

Spanning Set Theorem

vp is a Linear combination of v1,v2,...,v(p-1) if [ v1 v2 ... v(p-1)] x = vp

Span {v1,...,vp}=Span{v1...v(p-1)}

Let S = {v1, ..., vp} be a set in V, and let H = Span {v1, ..., vp}

If one of the vectors in S--say vk--is a linear combination of the remaining vectors in S, then the set formed from S by removing vk still spans H

If H is not {0} (the null set), some subset of S is a basis for H.

Let H be a subspace of a vector space V. An indexed set of vectors B={b1, ..., bp} in V is a BASIS for H if:

the subspace spanned by B coincides with H

H = Span {b1, ..., bp}

B is a Linearly independent set

The range of T is the set of all vectors in W of the form T(x) for some x in V

The Kernel (or NULL SPACE) of a Linear transformation

the set of all u ∈ V such that T(u)=0.

A Linear Transformation T from a vector space V into a vector space W is a rule that assigns to each vector x in V a unique vector T(x) in W such that

T(cu)=cT(u) for all u ∈ V and scalars C

T(u+v) = T(u) + T(v) for all u,v ∈ V

Null Space

Nul A is the set of all solutions to the homogenous equation Ax=0.

Nul A = { x : x is ∈ R^n and Ax=0}

Subspace of R^n

The set of all solutions to a system Ax=0 of m homogenous Linear equations in n unknowns is a subspace of R^n

To check if a vector u is in the null space of A, simply solve the equation Au (not a matrix equation, but matrix A times a vector u). If the answer is 0, then u is in Nul A

H is closed under multiplication by scalars.

for each u ∈ H and each scalar c, the vector cu is in H

H is closed under vector addition

for each u and v ∈ H, the sum u+v is in H

The zero vector of V is in H

Determinants

A and B are nxn matrices: det AB = (det A)(det B)

if A is an nxn matrix, then det A^T = det A

A square matrix A is invertible if and only if det A is not 0

A is a square matrix and B is the resultant matrix from one row operation

Scalar Multiplication

det(B) = k^(n) det A

interchange

det(B) = -det(A)

Replacement

Cofactor Expansion

Shortcut

If A is a triangular matrix, then det A is the product of the entries on its main diagonal

The determinant of an nxn matrix can be computed by cofactor expansion across any row or down any column

det A = a11C11+a12C12+...a1nC1n, where Cij = (-1)^(i+j) det Aij

inverse Matrix

The invertible Matrix Theorem

A Linear Transformation T : R^n -> R^n is said to be invertible if there exists a transformation S : R^n -> R^n such that S(T(x))=x for all x in R^n AND T(S(x))=x for all x in R^n

Let T : R^n -> R^n be a Linear transformation and let A be the standard matrix for T. Then T is invertible if and only if A is an invertible matrix. In that case, the linear transformation S given by S(x)=(A^-1)x is the unique function satisfying the previous conditions

S is the inverse transformation of T, written T^-1

Algorithm for finding A^-1

Row reduce the augmented matrix [ A I ]. If A is row equivalent to I, then [ A I ] is row equivalent to [ I A^-1]. Otherwise, A does not have an inverse.

The Product of invertible Matrices is Invertible and the inverse is the product of their inverses in the reverse order

(A^T)^-1 = (A^-1)^T

If A and B are nxn invertible matrices, then so is AB, and the inverse of AB is the product of the inverses of A and B in the reverse order. That is, (AB)^-1 = (B^-1)(A^-1)

If A is an invertible matrix, then A^-1 is invertible and (A^-1)^-1 = A

Theorem 4 (2.2)

If A is an invertible nxn matrix, then for each b in R^n, the equation Ax=b has the unique solution x = (A^-1)b
