ENGG2013 Unit 14Subspace and dimension Mar, 2011.
Yesterday • Every basis in contains two vectors • Every basis in contains three vectors y x z y x ENGG2013
Basis: Definition • For any given vector in if there is one and only one choice for the coefficients c1, c2, …,ck, such that we say that these k vectors form a basis of . ENGG2013
Review of set and subset Cities in China Tianjing Beijing Wuhan Shanghai Guangzhou Shenzhen Hong Kong Subset of cities in Guangdongprovince ENGG2013
Review: Intersection and union A union B = {cherry, apple, raspberry, watermelon} F: Set of fruits A intersect B = {raspberry} A: subset of fruit with red skin B: seedless ENGG2013
Subspace: definition • A subspace W in is a subset which is • Closed under addition • Closed under scalar multiplication W ENGG2013
Conceptual illustration W ENGG2013
Example of subspace • The z-axis z y x ENGG2013
Example of subspace • The x-y plane z y x ENGG2013
Non-example • Parabola y x ENGG2013
Intersection • Intersection of two subpaces is also a subspace. z y x For example, the intersectionof the x-y plane and the x-z plane is the same as the x-axis ENGG2013
Union • Union of two subspace is in general not a subspace. • It is closed under scalar multiplicationbut not closed under addition. z y x For example, the unionof the x-y plane and the z axis is not closed under addition ENGG2013
Lattice points • The set is not a subspace • It is closed under addition, • But not closed under scalar multiplication 2 1 1 2 ENGG2013
Subspace, Basis and dimension • Let W be a subspace in • For any given vector in W, if there is one and only one choice for the coefficients c1, c2, …,ck, such that we say that these k vectors form a basis of W. and define the dimension of subspace W by dim(W)=k. ENGG2013
Alternate definition • A set of k vectors is called a basis of a subspace W in , if • The k vectors are linearly independent • The span of them is W. The dimension of W is defined as k. We say that W is generated by these k vectors. ENGG2013
Example • Let W be the x-z plane • W is a subspace • u and v form a basisof W. • The dimension of W is 2. z y W x ENGG2013
Example • Let W be the y-axis • The set containing only one elementis a basis of W. Dimension of W is 1. z y W x ENGG2013
Question • Let W be the y-axisshifted to the right by one unit. • What is the dimensionof W? z y W 1 x ENGG2013
Question • Let W be the straight line x=y=z. • What is the dimension of W? ENGG2013
Question • Find a basis for the plane ENGG2013
Question • Find a basis for the intersection of (This is the intersection of two planes: x – 2y – z = 0, and x + y + z = 0.) ENGG2013
