Study Notes
Linear Algebra Lecture Notes
- Engineers use science, technology, and mathematics to solve problems.
- Solving linear systems of equations is fundamental (lecture 1).
- Refining matrix algebra skills is crucial (lecture 2).
- A system of linear equations (linear system) is a collection of one or more linear equations involving the same variables.
- Example: 2x₁ - x₂ + 2x₃ = 8, x₁ - 4x₃ = -7
- A linear system of equations can be written as a linear combination.
- Example: a₁₁x₁ + a₁₂x₂ = b₁, a₂₁x₁ + a₂₂x₂ = b₂
- A linear combination of vectors can be written as a matrix-vector product.
- Example: Ax = (a₁ a₂ ... aₙ) = x₁a₁ + x₂a₂ + ... + xₙaₙ
- If A is an m x n matrix with columns a₁, ..., aₙ, and b ∈ Rᵐ, the matrix equation Ax = b has the same solution set as the vector equation x₁a₁ + x₂a₂ + ... + xₙaₙ = b.
- An m x n matrix has m rows and n columns.
- The (i, j)th element of the matrix is aᵢⱼ, where 1 ≤ i ≤ m and 1 ≤ j ≤ n.
- Common matrices include:
- Zero matrix: A rectangular matrix with all elements equal to zero. Encodes the linear transformation mapping all vectors to the zero vector.
- Identity matrix: A square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere. Encodes the linear transformation that maps all vectors to themselves.
- Diagonal matrix: A square matrix with all off-diagonal elements equal to zero. Encodes the linear transformation that multiplies each element of a vector with a scalar.
- Triangular matrix: A square matrix with all elements below (or above) the main diagonal equal to zero.
- Hessenberg matrix: A special kind of upper triangular matrix with zeros below the first subdiagonal.
- Symmetric matrix, Orthogonal matrix, Tri-diagonal matrix, Toeplitz matrix, Hankel matrix, Löwner matrix
- Matrix algebra operations: sum, scalar multiplication, matrix-vector product, matrix-matrix product, power, transpose, inverse.
- A column vector is a matrix with only one column.
- Two vectors are equal if and only if their corresponding elements are equal.
- Two basic vector operations: addition and scalar multiplication.
- Two matrices are equal if they have the same size and their corresponding elements are equal.
- Two basic matrix operations: addition and scalar multiplication.
- Matrix-matrix multiplication using matrix–vector product and row–vector rule.
- Interpretation: Each column of AB is a linear combination of the columns of A using the weights from the corresponding column of B.
- Matrix–matrix multiplication as a composition of linear transformations.
- Dimensions should be considered when performing matrix multiplication. (m x n) * (n x p) = (m x p)
- Matrix-vector product Ax can be computed via the row–vector rule.
- The matrix–matrix product AB can be computed via the row–column rule. (AB)ᵢⱼ = ∑ₖ=₁ aᵢₖbₖⱼ
- Properties of Matrix Operations: associativity, left distributivity, right distributivity, identity element, and distributivity
- The inverse of a matrix is analogous to the reciprocal of a nonzero number
- The inverse only makes sense for square matrices.
- Inverses are found by row reduction—reduce the augmented matrix [A | I] to echelon form [I | A⁻¹].
- The inverse matrix, A⁻¹, undoes, or inverts, the effect of A.
- A matrix that doesn't have an inverse is called a singular matrix. An invertible matrix is also called a nonsingular matrix.
- Solving linear systems using the inverse: write as a matrix equation Ax=b; compute the inverse of A; compute the matrix-vector product x = A⁻¹b.
- LU factorization decomposes a matrix into a unit lower triangular matrix (L) and an upper triangular matrix (U).
- LU factorization is computed by row reduction.
- Solving a linear system using LU factorization: solve Ly = b; solve Ux = y.
- In practice, seldom use inverse matrix to solve linear systems—it takes more computations and is less accurate.
- Invertible Matrix Theorem (IMT) statements are logically equivalent.
