Dimension of Basis Hung-yi Lee
Col A = Range Basis: The pivot columns of A form a basis for Col A. Col A = Span pivot columns pivot columns Dimension: Dim (Col A) = number of pivot columns = rank A
Rank A (revisit) Maximum number of Independent Columns Number of Pivot Columns Number of Non-zero rows Number of Basic Variables Dim (Col A): dimension of column space Dimension of the range of A
Row A Basis: Nonzero rows of RREF(A) RREF R= Row A = Row R (The elementary row operations do not change the row space.) a basis of Row R = a basis of Row A Dimension: Dim (Row A) = Number of Nonzero rows = Rank A
Rank A (revisit) Maximum number of Independent Columns Number of Pivot Column Number of Non-zero rows Number of Basic Variables Dim (Col A): dimension of column space = Dim (Row A) = Dim (Col AT) Dimension of the range of A
Rank A = Rank AT Proof Rank A = Dim (Col A) Rank A = Dim (Row A) = Dim (Col AT) = Rank AT
Example 2, P256 2 1 5 3 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 4 3 1 1 0 1 0 5 1 Null A 5 0 0 ? = ? = 2 0 5 2 2 1 5 2 3 10 Basis: Solving Ax = 0 Each free variable in the parametric representation of the general solution is multiplied by a vector. The vectors form the basis. ?1 ?2 ?3 ?4 ?5 ?1= ?3 ?5 ?2= 5?3 4?5 ?3= ?3 1 5 1 0 0 1 4 0 2 1 ?1+ ?3+ ?5= 0 ?2 5?3+ 4?5= 0 ?4 2?5= 0 = ?3 + ?5 (free) ?4= 2?5 ?5= ?5 (free) Basis
Null A Basis: Solving Ax = 0 Each free variable in the parametric representation of the general solution is multiplied by a vector. The vectors form the basis. Dimension: Dim (Null A) = number of free variables = Nullity A = n - Rank A
