Study Notes

Properties of Vectors and Inner Products

  • The length of a vector ( v ) is expressed as ( |v| = \sqrt{v \cdot v} ).
  • The inner product is commutative, leading to ( u \cdot v - v \cdot u = 0 ).
  • For any scalar ( c ), ( |cv| = |c||v| ), showing that if ( c ) is negative, the length remains positive.

Orthogonality in Linear Algebra

  • Vectors ( u ) and ( v ) are orthogonal if ( u \cdot v = 0 ). This is equivalent to equal distances from ( u ) to ( v ) and ( -v ).
  • A vector ( x ) is in the orthogonal complement ( W^\perp ) of a subspace ( W ) if it is orthogonal to every vector in ( W ).
  • By the Pythagorean theorem, two vectors ( u ) and ( v ) are orthogonal if ( |u + v|^2 = |u|^2 + |v|^2 ).

Null Spaces and Row Spaces

  • For a matrix ( A ), vectors in the null space are orthogonal to vectors in the row space, defined by ( (\text{Row } A)^\perp = \text{Nul } A ).
  • Not every linearly independent set in ( \mathbb{R}^n ) is orthogonal, evidenced by examples of independent but non-orthogonal vectors.

Orthogonal Sets and Linear Combinations

  • Coefficients in a linear combination of an orthogonal set can be determined without row operations: ( c_j = \frac{y \cdot u_j}{u_j \cdot u_j} ).
  • Orthogonal sets of nonzero vectors are always linearly independent, while not every orthogonal set guarantees linear independence.

Essential Matrix Properties

  • A matrix with orthonormal columns is not necessarily orthogonal unless it is square.
  • The orthogonal projection of ( y ) onto a line ( L ) does not directly yield the distance from ( y ) to ( L ); rather, it is ( |y - \hat{y}| ) that provides this distance.
  • If ( U ) and ( V ) are orthogonal matrices, then the product ( UV ) is also invertible, and ( (UV)^{-1} = V^{-1}U^{-1} ).

Inverses and Transpose Relationships

  • For orthogonal matrices, the inverse is given by the transpose: ( U^{-1} = U^T ).
  • The inverse of the product of two matrices relates to the transposes of the individual matrices as ( (UV)^{-1} = V^T U^T ).
