Let \(B = \left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{4}}}\end{array}} \right),\,\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{9}}\end{array}} \right)\,} \right\}\). Since the coordinate mapping determined by B is a linear transformation from \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\), this mapping must be implemented by some \({\bf{2}} \times {\bf{2}}\) matrix A. Find it. (Hint: Multiplication by A should transform a vector x into its coordinate vector \({\left( {\bf{x}} \right)_B}\)).

\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}9&2\\4&1\end{array}} \right)\)

Step by step solution

01

Find the value of x

The coordinate of x relative to B can be expressed as:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\bf{x}} = {c_1}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\{ - 4}\end{array}} \right) + {c_2}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\9\end{array}} \right)\\ = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}\\{ - 4}&9\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{c_1}}\\{{c_2}}\end{array}} \right)\\ = {P_B}{\left( {\bf{x}} \right)_B}\end{array}\)

02

Find matrix A

Matrix A is the inverse of \({P_B}\).

\(\begin{array}{l}A = P_B^{ - 1}\\ = \left| {{P_B}} \right| \cdot {\rm{Adj}}\left( {{P_B}} \right)\\ = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}\\{ - 4}&9\end{array}} \right| \cdot \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}9&2\\4&1\end{array}} \right)\\ = \left( {9 - 8} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}9&2\\4&1\end{array}} \right)\\ = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}9&2\\4&1\end{array}} \right)\end{array}\)

So, matrix A is \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}9&2\\4&1\end{array}} \right)\).

Question 18: Suppose A is a \(4 \times 4\) matrix and B is a \(4 \times 2\) matrix, and let \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _0},...,{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _3}\) represent a sequence of input vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\).

  1. Set \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _0} = 0\), compute \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _1},...,{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4}\) from equation (1), and write a formula for \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4}\) involving the controllability matrix \(M\) appearing in equation (2). (Note: The matrix \(M\) is constructed as a partitioned matrix. Its overall size here is \(4 \times 8\).)
  2. Suppose \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) is controllable and v is any vector in \({\mathbb{R}^4}\). Explain why there exists a control sequence \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _0},...,{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _3}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) such that \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4} = {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \).

Question 11: Let \(S\) be a finite minimal spanning set of a vector space \(V\). That is, \(S\) has the property that if a vector is removed from \(S\), then the new set will no longer span \(V\). Prove that \(S\) must be a basis for \(V\).

Question: Exercises 12-17 develop properties of rank that are sometimes needed in applications. Assume the matrix \(A\) is \(m \times n\).

13. Show that if \(P\) is an invertible \(m \times m\) matrix, then rank\(PA\)=rank\(A\).(Hint: Apply Exercise12 to \(PA\) and \({P^{ - 1}}\left( {PA} \right)\).)

Consider the polynomials , and \({p_{\bf{3}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{2}}\) \({p_{\bf{1}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} + t,{p_{\bf{2}}}\left( t \right) = {\bf{1}} - t\)(for all t). By inspection, write a linear dependence relation among \({p_{\bf{1}}},{p_{\bf{2}}},\) and \({p_{\bf{3}}}\). Then find a basis for Span\(\left\{ {{p_{\bf{1}}},{p_{\bf{2}}},{p_{\bf{3}}}} \right\}\).

Question: Exercises 12-17 develop properties of rank that are sometimes needed in applications. Assume the matrix \(A\) is \(m \times n\).

17. A submatrix of a matrix A is any matrix that results from deleting some (or no) rows and/or columns of A. It can be shown that A has rank \(r\) if and only if A contains an invertible \(r \times r\) submatrix and no longer square submatrix is invertible. Demonstrate part of this statement by explaining (a) why an \(m \times n\) matrix A of rank \(r\) has an \(m \times r\) submatrix \({A_1}\) of rank \(r\), and (b) why \({A_1}\) has an invertible \(r \times r\) submatrix \({A_2}\).

The concept of rank plays an important role in the design of engineering control systems, such as the space shuttle system mentioned in this chapter’s introductory example. A state-space model of a control system includes a difference equation of the form

\({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _{k + 1}} = A{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _k} + B{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _k}\)for \(k = 0,1,....\) (1)

Where \(A\) is \(n \times n\), \(B\) is \(n \times m\), \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _k}} \right\}\) is a sequence of “state vectors” in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) that describe the state of the system at discrete times, and \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _k}} \right\}\) is a control, or input, sequence. The pair \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) is said to be controllable if

\({\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}B&{AB}&{{A^2}B}& \cdots &{{A^{n - 1}}B}\end{array}} \right) = n\) (2)

The matrix that appears in (2) is called the controllability matrix for the system. If \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) is controllable, then the system can be controlled, or driven from the state 0 to any specified state \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) (in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)) in at most \(n\) steps, simply by choosing an appropriate control sequence in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\). This fact is illustrated in Exercise 18 for \(n = 4\) and \(m = 2\). For a further discussion of controllability, see this text’s website (Case study for Chapter 4).
