Let \(X\) be \(m \times n\) data matrix such that \({X^T}X\) is invertible., and let \(M = {I_m} - X{\left( {{X^T}X} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}{X^T}\). Add a column \({x_{\bf{0}}}\) to the data and form
\(W = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}X&{{x_{\bf{0}}}}\end{array}} \right]\)
Compute \({W^T}W\). The \(\left( {{\bf{1}},{\bf{1}}} \right)\) entry is \({X^T}X\). Show that the Schur complement (Exercise 15) of \({X^T}X\) can be written in the form \({\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}^TM{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}}\). It can be shown that the quantity \({\left( {{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}^TM{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}}} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\) is the \(\left( {{\bf{2}},{\bf{2}}} \right)\)-entry in \({\left( {{W^T}W} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\). This entry has a useful statistical interpretation, under appropriate hypotheses.
In the study of engineering control of physical systems, a standard set of differential equations is transformed by Laplace transforms into the following system of linear equations:
\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{A - s{I_n}}&B\\C&{{I_m}}\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{x}}\\{\bf{u}}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{y}}\end{array}} \right]\)
Where \(A\) is \(n \times n\), \(B\) is \(n \times m\), \(C\) is \(m \times n\), and \(s\) is a variable. The vector \({\bf{u}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\) is the “input” to the system, \({\bf{y}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\) is the “output” and \({\bf{x}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) is the “state” vector. (Actually, the vectors \({\bf{x}}\), \({\bf{u}}\) and \({\bf{v}}\) are functions of \(s\), but we suppress this fact because it does not affect the algebraic calculations in Exercises 19 and 20.)
Let Abe an invertible \(n \times n\) matrix, and let B be an \(n \times p\) matrix. Show that the equation \(AX = B\) has a unique solution \({A^{ - 1}}B\).
Suppose Tand U are linear transformations from \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) to \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) such that \(T\left( {U{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} } \right) = {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \) for all x in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) . Is it true that \(U\left( {T{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} } \right) = {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \) for all x in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)? Why or why not?
1. Find the inverse of the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{8}}&{\bf{6}}\\{\bf{5}}&{\bf{4}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
Let \(T:{\mathbb{R}^n} \to {\mathbb{R}^n}\) be an invertible linear transformation, and let Sand U be functions from \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) such that \(S\left( {T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right)} \right) = {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \) and \(\)\(U\left( {T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right)} \right) = {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \) for all x in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). Show that \(U\left( v \right) = S\left( v \right)\) for all v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). This will show that Thas a unique inverse, as asserted in theorem 9. [Hint: Given any v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), we can write \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} = T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right)\) for some x. Why? Compute \(S\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\) and \(U\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\)].
