Which of the subspaces \({\rm{Row }}A\) , \({\rm{Col }}A\), \({\rm{Nul }}A\), \({\rm{Row}}\,{A^T}\) , \({\rm{Col}}\,{A^T}\) , and \({\rm{Nul}}\,{A^T}\) are in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\) and which are in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) ? How many distinct subspaces are in this list?.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are four distinct subspaces in the list.

Step by step solution

01

Assume an arbitrary system and relate the given statement with it

Assume that the system has matrix A of the size \(m \times n\). So, The null space in \(A\) must be the subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^n}\); the rows in \(A\) must be the subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^n}\); thecolumns in \(A\) must be the subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^m}\).

As the matrix \({A^T}\) has the size \(n \times m\), the null space in \({A^T}\) is a subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^m}\); the rows in \({A^T}\) are the subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^m}\); the columns in \({A^T}\) are the subspace of \({\mathbb{R}^n}\).

02

Draw a conclusion

As \({\rm{Row}}\,{A^T} = {\rm{Col}}\,A\) and \({\rm{Row}}\,A = {\rm{Col}}\,{A^T}\) , there are four possible distinct subspaces— \({\rm{Row}}\,A\),\({\rm{Col}}\,A\), \({\rm{Nul}}\,A\), \({\rm{Nul}}\,{A^T}\).

In Exercise 2, find the vector x determined by the given coordinate vector \({\left( x \right)_{\rm B}}\) and the given basis \({\rm B}\).

In Exercise 6, find the coordinate vector of x relative to the given basis \({\rm B} = \left\{ {{b_{\bf{1}}},...,{b_n}} \right\}\).

6. \({b_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}\end{array}} \right),{b_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}\\{ - {\bf{6}}}\end{array}} \right),x = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right)\)

[M] Repeat Exercise 35 for a random integer-valued matrixwhose rank is at most 4. One way to makeis to create a random integ\(6 \times 7\)er-valued \(6 \times 4\) matrix \(J\) and a random integer-valued \(4 \times 7\) matrix \(K\), and set \(A = JK\). (See supplementary Exercise 12 at the end of the chapter; and see the study guide for the matrix-generating program.)

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 \({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _4} = {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \).

In Exercise 7, find the coordinate vector \({\left( x \right)_{\rm B}}\) of x relative to the given basis \({\rm B} = \left\{ {{b_{\bf{1}}},...,{b_n}} \right\}\).

7. \({b_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}\end{array}} \right),{b_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{3}}}\\{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{9}}\end{array}} \right),{b_{\bf{3}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right),x = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{8}}\\{ - {\bf{9}}}\\{\bf{6}}\end{array}} \right)\)
