Study Notes
Invertible Matrices
- Invertible matrix: A square matrix A is invertible if there exists a matrix A⁻¹ such that AA⁻¹ = A⁻¹A = I, where I is the identity matrix.
- Left invertible matrix: A matrix A is left invertible if there exists a matrix B such that BA = I.
- A not right invertible: If a matrix A does not have a right inverse, it means there is no matrix B such that AB = I.
- Theorem 3.13: The inverse of an invertible matrix is unique.
- Theorem 3.15: A matrix A is invertible if and only if it is square and its determinant is nonzero.
- Left inverse: A left inverse of a matrix A is a matrix B such that BA = I.
- Matrix with left inverse: If a matrix A has a left inverse, then it must have full column rank.
- Identity matrix role: The identity matrix is used to define invertibility because multiplying a matrix by its inverse results in the identity matrix.
- Non-invertible matrix: The zero matrix is always non-invertible.
- Inverse multiplication: Multiplying an invertible matrix by its inverse results in the identity matrix.
- Invertible rotation matrix: The matrix $\begin{bmatrix} \cos \theta & -\sin \theta \ \sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{bmatrix}$ is invertible when cosθ ≠ 0.
- Product of invertible matrices: If A and B are invertible matrices, then their product AB is also invertible and (AB)⁻¹ = B⁻¹A⁻¹.
- Identity matrix In: The identity matrix In is a square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeroes elsewhere.
- Rotation by θ and -θ: Rotating a matrix A by an angle θ followed by rotating it by -θ is equivalent to not rotating the matrix at all.
- Inverse of product matrices: The inverse of the product of invertible matrices is the product of their inverses in reverse order: (AB)⁻¹ = B⁻¹A⁻¹.
- Invertibility of zero and non-square matrices: The zero matrix and non-square matrices are never invertible.
Systems of Linear Equations
- Infinitely many solutions: A system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions if the number of equations is less than the number of unknowns and the equations are dependent.
- Homogeneous linear system: A homogeneous linear system is a system of linear equations where all the constant terms on the right-hand side are zero.
- Solution of a linear system: A solution to a system of linear equations is a set of values for the variables that satisfy all the equations in the system.
- Coefficients $a_{ij}$: The coefficients $a_{ij}$ in a system of linear equations represent the values that multiply the corresponding variables in each equation.
- No solutions implication: A system of linear equations having no solutions implies the system is inconsistent, meaning there is no set of values for the variables that can satisfy all the equations simultaneously.
- Characteristics of a linear system: A system of linear equations is characterized by having a constant term on the right-hand side of each equation, each equation representing a straight line or plane.
- Dependent equations: If the equations in a system are dependent, it means one equation can be obtained by combining the other equations, indicating that the system has infinitely many solutions.
- Variables $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$: The variables $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ in a system of linear equations represent the unknown values that need to be determined.
- Expression $Ax = b$: The expression $Ax = b$ represents a system of linear equations where A is the coefficient matrix, x is the vector of unknowns, and b is the vector of constants.
- Equivalent systems of equations: Equivalent systems of equations share the same solution set.
- Coefficient matrix A: The coefficient matrix A consists of the coefficients of the variables in a system of linear equations.
- Vector equation: A system of equations can be represented as a vector equation of the form $x_1 a_1 + x_2 a_2 + ext{...} + x_n a_n = b$, where $a_i$ are the column vectors of the coefficient matrix A.
- Matrix basis: The coefficient matrix A forms the basis of a linear system of equations.
- Vector equation condition: For the vectors in the equation $x_1 a_1 + x_2 a_2 + ext{...} + x_n a_n = b$ to form a solution, the vector b must be a linear combination of the column vectors of A.
- Coefficient matrix role: The coefficient matrix A plays a crucial role in determining the solvability of a system of linear equations and finding its solutions.
- m and n representation: In the notation $A elongs to M_{m,n}(F)$, m represents the number of rows and n represents the number of columns in matrix A.
Row Echelon Form (REF) and Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF)
-
Reduced row echelon form (RREF): A matrix is in RREF if it satisfies the following conditions:
- All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros.
- The leading entry (pivot) in each nonzero row is 1.
- Each pivot is the only nonzero entry in its column.
- RREF condition: For a matrix to be in RREF, it must satisfy all the conditions stated above for RREF.
- REF matrix: A matrix in REF satisfies the first two conditions for RREF, but not necessarily the third condition.
- '0 0 0 0' not RREF: The matrix '0 0 0 0' is not considered to be in RREF because it does not have a leading 1 in any of its rows.
- Matrix in REF: A matrix in REF has a leading 1 (pivot) in each nonzero row, and all entries below the pivots are zeroes.
- Non-REF identification: A matrix that is not in REF can be identified if it does not satisfy the conditions of REF, specifically lacking a leading 1 or having nonzero entries below a pivot.
- Pivot characteristic: In the context of RREF, a pivot should be a leading 1 in its row and the only nonzero entry in its column.
- Matrix not in RREF: A matrix does not satisfy the conditions of RREF if it has a leading entry that is not 1, has a leading 1 that is not the only nonzero entry in its column, or has nonzero rows below all zero rows.
