Study Notes
Vector Addition Properties
- A1 (Existence of Identity): For all vectors v, v + 0 = v.
- A2 (Existence of Inverses): For all vectors v, v + (-v) = 0.
- A3 (Commutativity): For all vectors u and v, u + v = v + u.
- A4 (Associativity): For all vectors u, v, and w, (u + v) + w = u + (v + w).
Scalar Multiplication Properties
- S1 (Associativity of Multiplication): For all vectors v and scalars λ, μ, (λμ)v = λ(μv).
- S2 (Distributivity): For all vectors u, v and scalar λ, λ(u + v) = (λu) + (λv).
- S3 (Distributivity II): For all vectors v and scalars λ, μ, (λ + μ)v = (λv) + (μv).
- S4 (Special Scalars): For all vectors v, 1v = v, 0v = 0, and (-1)v = -v.
Vector Spaces
- A set V with addition and scalar multiplication operations satisfying properties A1-A4 and S1-S4 is a vector space.
Dimension of a Vector Space
- The dimension of a vector space V is the number of vectors in a basis of V.
- A set of vectors in V forms a basis if every vector in V can be uniquely written as a linear combination of the basis vectors with scalar coefficients.
Dot Products
- Definition: The dot product of two vectors u and v in Rn is given by u ⋅ v = u1v1 + ... + unvn.
- Properties:
- u ⋅ v = v ⋅ u (symmetry)
- (λu)⋅ v = λ(u⋅v) and u ⋅ (λv) = λ(u⋅v) (homogeneity)
- (u + v) ⋅ w = u ⋅ w + v ⋅ w (distributivity)
- v ⋅ v ≥ 0, and v ⋅ v = 0 if and only if v = 0 (positive definiteness)
- Length of a vector: The length of a vector is defined as |v| = √(v⋅v).
Other concepts
- Basis: A set of vectors that span a vector space and are linearly independent.
- Standard basis: A commonly used basis in Rn; each basis vector is a vector with zeros in all positions except for one position, in which it has a 1.
- Geometric interpretation of dot product: The length of the projection of u onto v is u⋅v / |v| and the length of the projection of v onto u is v⋅u / |u|.
