#

now... next example i dont understand what it means

#

just that the norm is what ever is l phi(0) l ???

#

so this is not a norm, cuz phi (0) could be != 0

#

?????? or am i mad

#

like, i could take phi as phi(x) = x

#

phi(0) = 0 and phi is not the 0 function

#

lmao you're right

#

that's a funny question opencry

#

the function phi(x) = x is a counterexample to the first condition of a norm

#

okok, ez

#

last one is

#

can i use the first example somehow here?

#

or since it has something else it has nothing to do?

#

you might be able to use the first example

#

okey, but... i dont know how to do the inf norm of a function

#

mmm

#

it probably means the maximum of |2phi| on [0, 1]

#

oh okey, then... i proved first one is a norm

#

and inf norm is a norm

#

is there any property that sais the sum of 2 norms is a norm?

#

or i have to prove this?

#

you could try to prove that

#

i recommend it

#

okey

#

do i need to prove inf norm is a norm?

#

no, right?

#

like, it is a norm by definition

nocturne jewel
#

What's the conjugate of a matrix?

#

is it just make each entry its conjugate?

sonic osprey
#

yes

nocturne jewel
wintry steppe
#

mmm

#

im not sure about this, let me paint

#

something is wrong for sure

#

i replaced phi and idk for a and b

#

actually, i believe the second line equals should be <= too, cuz there is another triangular inequality there

sterile pebble
#

$f=x_1+x_2+e^(x_1+x_2) and g=cos(x_1+x_2) why cant i compose f o g?$

stoic pythonBOT
#

𝓐eteer

wintry steppe
wintry steppe
#

or someone else?

dire thunder
#

why you think |a+b|=|a|+|b|

wintry steppe
#

<=

#

the triangular inequality (?)

dire thunder
#

oh

#

sorry

#

did not notice <=

wintry steppe
#

yeah hard on paint

dire thunder
#

also, what is under integral?

wintry steppe
#

it is a norm

#

2 function

#

i called them a and b

#

this, but with more stuff

dire thunder
#

i mean dt disappears and i do not understand what is under integral sign now

wintry steppe
#

yeah

#

to write faster

#

it is a(t)

#

and b(t)

#

and dt should appear

#

(l a l + l b l) is under the integral

#

i just splited the l a + b l into l al + l b l

stoic pythonBOT
#

Commander Vimes

dire thunder
#

and this is true

#

so yep

#

(but is the red equality given?)

wintry steppe
#

the red paint

#

is the definition of my norm

#

i am proving it if it is a norm or not

dire thunder
#

ah ok

tawdry bramble
#

If $\overline{0}=\overline{x}$ is the only solution to $A\overline{x}=\overline{0}$, what does this mean?

stoic pythonBOT
#

glomswamp

tawdry bramble
#

Oh nice.

#

I've not got to that yet

#

I've actually never heard of injective or surjective lol

#

Or bijective

#

Oh ok

#

What you said makes a lot more sense now

#

Interesting, I was asking because I was trying to find the equivalence class of the zero vector of this equation.

lavish jewel
#

only if the matrix is square

tawdry bramble
#

The middle vector is xyz and the solution should be ab

#

I was putting in zeros to try and figure it out

lavish jewel
#

oh this doesn't work here

#

none of what you were just told πŸ˜›

tawdry bramble
#

Lol I know, but it's still interesting

lavish jewel
#

well, it's surjective

#

not injective tho

#

dat null space

#

your assumption there that z = 0 is an interesting toy scenario, but in general, z is just some parameter t

#

the rest of it is correct. you need y = x = 0

#

but no matter what z is, it is multiplied by zero

#

this has infinitely many solutions

tawdry bramble
#

My original problem was to find the equivalence class containing the zero vector.

#

And that the class had a specific name in linear algebra.

lavish jewel
#

something like (0,0,z)?

#

the null space? mayb?

tawdry bramble
#

It's for part c

#

I thought I'd start by plugging in the zero vector since it ought to be in its own equivalence class

#

Then the solution is a=b=0, so I figured I ought to find the vectors who can solve that and I think it's all vectors where x=y=0

#

Like you were saying

lavish jewel
#

right

tawdry bramble
#

I thought about null space but idk. Could it have something to do with linear dependence/independence?

lavish jewel
#

surely

#

there is a null space if at least one column is linearly dependent to another

#

this is what gives you nonzero solutions to the linear combination of the columns of the matrix

#

and the coefficients of the linear combination are precisely the components of the vector (x,y,z)

#

so there are nontrivial (x,y,z) that, when multiplied by A, yield a zero vector as long as there are linearly dependent columns

#

the x,y,z that satisfy this are said to be in the null space of the matrix

#

i.e. the nontrivial solutions x of Ax = 0 are the set of vectors in the null space of A

#

x = 0 is trivially in there

#

and if there are lin dep columns in A, then you have (infinitely) many more

tawdry bramble
#

In my case, the null space is every vector (0,0,t)?

lavish jewel
#

yea

tawdry bramble
#

Which would be the equivalence class containing 0?

lavish jewel
#

that's what i would say, but i would ask mirza or someone else to double check really quick

#

as i'm not all that familiar with fancy math words πŸ˜›

tawdry bramble
#

Lol much more familiar with linear algebra than I at least

#

Oh XD

lavish jewel
#

@wintry steppe halp, double check this pl0x

tawdry bramble
#

:3

lavish jewel
#

anyway

#

reading that again, all a b have infinitely many solutions

#

there is a particular solution in terms of x y

#

and then infinitely many more by adding some (0,0,t)

#

w = v + (0,0,t) is the equivalence class

#

and the reason is the same we already gave

#

Aw = A(v + (0,0,t)) = Av + A(0,0,t) = Av + 0

#

so any w of the form w = v + (0,0,t) behaves the same way as just v when transformed by A

tawdry bramble
#

Man, I already submitted my work. That would've looked extra spicy on there.

lavish jewel
#

ah oops

#

it's the same tho

tawdry bramble
#

Lol, true.

#

Numbers are crazy weird

#

It basically all started from counting

lavish jewel
#

aha, that's the elitist mathematician bullshit i was missing

#

i just wasn't sure how exactly they wanted the answer to be given, thanks for your input!

lone quail
#

why does the T and T^-1 go down from the exponent?

#

what am i missing?

native rampart
#

See Taylor Expansion

#

If you write out the expansion,you can see that's true

hollow finch
stoic pythonBOT
hollow finch
#

since the exponential function can be represented as a taylor series, the same principle applies

lone quail
#

Nvm

#

Got it

#

Thanks

wintry steppe
#

Im super confused what the difference between parametric, symetric, vector and scalar equations is

#

could someone explain it

#

this is my teachers notes but i dont understand it

wintry sphinx
#

okay the "vector equation" and "parametric equation" terminology here is probably the same thing to a lot of math people

#

as for the others, it just depends on what the equation looks like

wintry steppe
#

what does t mean

#

in this situation

#

@wintry sphinx

wintry sphinx
#

t is a parameter

#

it generally takes on all real numbers as a value

#

Consider a parametric equation of a line in a plane: r = [1, 1]t

#

What I'm saying is that if I let t take on all values in the real numbers, then I'll get all of the points that this line contains

wintry steppe
#

what does a parameter mean

#

?

wintry sphinx
#

I explained it below

#

Are you familiar with set-builder notation?

wintry steppe
#

no

#

@wintry sphinx

wintry sphinx
#

You've never seen something like ${2n: n \in \mathbb N}$

#

?

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wintry steppe
#

oh i have seen that

#

yea

wintry sphinx
#

A line is just a set of points

#

no [1,1] is not an interval

#

ambiguous notation

#

So do you agree that a line is just a set of points?

#

Consider the line y = x as an example

#

I'm sure you know what that looks like

#

We can write it in set-builder notation as

#

${(t, t): t \in \mathbb R}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wintry sphinx
#

that's basically the most natural way to write it in set-builder notation, right?

#

no...

#

this represents the set ${(1, 1), (2,2), (3, 3), (2.5, 2.5), ...}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wary lily
#

bc x=y

wintry sphinx
#

do you not see why ${(t, t): t \in \mathbb R} = {(x, y): x, y \in \mathbb R, x = y}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wintry sphinx
#

let's do it as an example

#

and generalize

#

So one other choice to represent this is

#

${(1, 1)t: t \in \mathbb R}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wintry sphinx
#

where we treat points as vectors in R2

#

in this case, yes, but in general, it is just some dummy variable that goes over all of R

#

when we write something like "the line given by r = (1, 1)t," what we really mean is ${(1, 1)t, t \in \mathbb R}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wary lily
#

yes, r1 is a point on the line, t a scalar multiplier and m the direction vector

wintry sphinx
#

yes, in general lines can be written in the form

#

${\mathbf r_0 + t \mathbf\gamma: t \in \mathbb R}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

Saccharine

wintry sphinx
#

you can specify a line by a single point and its direction, yes?

wary lily
#

you can either have two points or a point and the direction of the line

#

note that two points can give you the direction too

#

yes

#

Saccharine, if this is over, can you explain to me the difference between Symmetric- and Scalar equation?

#

they are apparently the same, as I see it

#

just rewritten for convenience

#

do you know the point slope formula for the line equation?

#

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

stoic pythonBOT
wary lily
#

now note that $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

stoic pythonBOT
wary lily
#

which is the relation between the changes in y to changes in x

#

yes

#

this change in y and x is your direction vector

#

now you can set $a = y_2 - y_1 = b$ and $x_2 - x_1 = a$ and get the Symmetric Equation

stoic pythonBOT
wary lily
#

the Symmetric Equation is like this by default

#

your teacher just multiplied both sides by b and a

#

and moved everything to LHS

#

if the exercises are from published books you can find most solutions on Slader

#

I don't know

tame mural
#

Conventionally, if M is a matrix and someone writes M_2, are they referring to rows or columns?

#

Asking for conventionality

#

No it's not the same thing

gritty swift

hey when finding the singular value decomposition, how do you know which vectors to use? at first I thought there was only 1 orthonormal eigenbasis but after trying to implement it in code I realize there are multiple (if x1, x2 orthogonal, x1 and -x2 are also orthogonal). how do you pick the right ones?
here's my code if it helps

def eig(A):
    "Get sorted eigenvectors and eigenvalues"
    evals, evecs = np.linalg.eig(A)
    idx = evals.argsort()[::-1]
    return evals[idx], evecs[:,idx]


def svd(A):
    "Find SVD (A = USV^T)"
    eigenvalues, V = eig(A.T @ A)
    S = np.sqrt(np.diag(eigenvalues))
    _, U = eig(A @ A.T)
    # note: eigenvalues for AA^T same as A^TA
    return U, S, V

heres a case where it fails

#

tldr: how do you pick the right eigenvectors when computing the svd? aren't there multiple orthonormal eigenbases?

sonic osprey
#

Is there a right one?

lavish jewel
#

any rotation of the basis vectors yields another suitable basis

gritty swift
#

hmm maybe my code is just inconsistent then

lavish jewel
#

just pick the first one you get lol

gritty swift
#

yeah i tried to do that and it diden't work though (see the image) prolly i'm just doing something wrong though

lavish jewel
#

why'd you sort them like that

#

what are you trying to do

#

btw, what you're doing won't always work

#

there is in general no relationship between eigen and singular values of a matrix

#

unless the matrix is symmetric

#

the problem was you got abs(singular values) because you squared (A^T A) and then took the square root

#

the s-vals were negative, prolly

gritty swift
#

oh i see

#

how do you know what they should be?

lavish jewel
#

just a guess

#

lemme check

gritty swift
#

you're right inverting s also works

lavish jewel
#

it's the natural guess πŸ˜›

gritty swift
lavish jewel
#

the only relationship between the eig and sing vals of A is: the eigenvalues of A^T A and A A^T are the singular values of A SQUARED

#

so you unfortunately lose that sign along the way. maybe guessing, as you said

gritty swift
#

ok cool thanks!

lavish jewel
#

moonlight, do you know what the parametric equation of a line looks like?

#

almost, be careful with the signs

#

yeap

#

it's what you just did

#

points in 2D are of the form (x,y)

#

and you just found that x = -3 -3t and y = 1-2t

#

yeah

#

you can see this as "all the points (x,y) that lie on the line passing through P with direction d"

#

you can use a dot product to find the cosine of the angle

nocturne jewel
#

if 2 lines are parallel, they have the same direction vector

lavish jewel
nocturne jewel
#

(and the set of points dont match, ie the position vector of 1 line cant be a point on the other)

#

cause then they're coincidental lines

#

yes

#

[-1,2]^T

#

or row vectors if that's what your teacher uses

#

or just [-1,2]

lavish jewel
#

c[-1,2] for any real c, really

nocturne jewel
#

any R c except 0

lavish jewel
#

right so (2,-4) is c(-1,2) with c = -2

nocturne jewel
#

there's a correct option

lavish jewel
#

so it works

nocturne jewel
#

-2[-1,2]=[2,-4]

#

You can also just note that 1 entry is negative and one is positive, so whatever answer it is, it has to have 1 neg and 1 pos

#

and scalars*

Hello all πŸ‘‹ , i'm trying to change some transform matrices between coordinate systems (basically unreal engine (left-handed z-up) to opencv (right-handed)). The red arrows are whats is expected while the 3d plot is the result externally (wrong). What should i do to change between systems

Matrices in question

nocturne jewel
#

symmetric form is isolate for the parameter and set them equal

lavish jewel
#

i think you can just swap two of the coordinates

#

or maybe i'm wrong, lemme hceck

gritty swift
stoic pythonBOT
gritty swift
#

(since U and V are orthonormal and they must be invertible since A^TA is symmetric so it has a full set of eigenvectors)

lavish jewel
#

i don't follow what you did

gritty swift
#

multiply the right by V and multiply the left by U^T

lavish jewel
#

ah

#

yeah well, you just diagonalized the matrix

#

that's the same as just doing the SVD straight up

#

so yeah, that works

#

idk about that one, sorry

#

idk what symmetric equations are

nocturne jewel
#

for x=-8-t, y=9+2t?

#

x=1-4t
y=-2-t

(x-1)/(-4)=(y+2)/(-1)

#

so yes

humble oak
#

hello just wondering if this is true,
T:V -> W is an isomorphism <=> V and W are isomorphic

sonic osprey
#

Is this not the definition of isomorphic?

#

How have you defined what it means for V and W to be isomorphic?

#

@humble oak

humble oak
#

my question was bad, it is most definitely the definition of isomorphic i'm just dumb :c

sonic osprey
#

nah you're good

#

Anyone know how to find the covariance of multivariate guassian

wintry steppe
#

idk how to translate it but, it sais something like: Considering M 2x2 the vector space made by 2x2 matrixes. Guess its dimension and a base

hoary osprey
#

try finding a basis

gray dust
#

it may help to recall the usual rules of adding/scaling in that space before finding a basis

wintry steppe
#

[[1, 0], [0, 1]]

#

is the canonic base (?) idk if canonic exists, just the usual one

#

But i have 4 params on the matrix: a b c d

#

then i am also asked if some formulas are a norm of that vector space or not

#

like, the first one is a norm, and the second one isnt (cuz a matrix like [[-1, 0], [1, 0]], with that norm) measures 0, and the matrix is not the matrix 0

#

But idk about the dimension

wintry steppe
#

hello

#

is anyone available to help w linear algebra 2 work

#

kind of lost

#

if you have f(x,v) where x is a non empty set and v is any vector space then does f have to be a linear transformation for f(x,v) to be a vector space?

sonic osprey
#

What

wintry steppe
#

if f is a set of all functions that f: x -> v

#

sorry i'll copy paste the question i wrote it p badly

sonic osprey
#

please don't use the same letter for different things

wintry steppe
#

Let X be any nonempty set and let V be any vector space. Let F(X,V) be the set of all functions f:X→V. Explain how to define the operations of addition and scalar multiplication on F(X,V) so that F(X,V) is a vector space under these operations

#

so i'm thinking that the operations of addition and scalar multiplication are the same as for linear transformations right

#

f(x+v) = f(x) + f(v)

#

and f(cx) = cf(x)

sonic osprey
#

No that doesn't make any sense

#

X is just a set

#

It doesn't make sense to add two elements of x together

#

or to scale x by a scalar

wintry steppe
#

i see, thank you. I'll look into sets i didn't see them mentioned in the lectures

#

i'm kind of confused

#

whats the difference between a nonempty set of vectors and a vector space

sonic osprey
#

uh

#

a set of vectors is a subset of a vector space

limber sierra
#

do you know X is a set of vectors from V here?

#

or just that X is a set

wintry steppe
#

its just a set

limber sierra
#

sets alone dont have any inherent structure - they're just a collection of elements

wintry steppe
#

i copied the question word for word here

limber sierra
#

vector spaces are what you get when you take a set and imbue it with vector space structure

#

if you JUST have a set, addition and multiplication dont make sense

#

that's the whole point of vector spaces

#

they make addition and multiplication make sense

wintry steppe
#

i see so how would a function turn a nonempty set into a vector space?

#

the function would have to make the set fulfill these two conditions right

fickle skiff
#

in your problem you want to define addition and scalar multiplication on F(X, V), i.e., you want to tell us how to add 2 functions f, g: X -> V

wintry steppe
#

so if x1 and x2 are vectors in X

#

to make it into a vectors space i would have to make it so

fickle skiff
#

you don't want to make X into a vector space here

#

you're looking at F(X, V) instead

wintry steppe
#

i'm kind of confused

#

how would a set of functions become a vector space?

sonic osprey
#

I mean you can add two functions

#

If it helps, maybe think of functions from R to R

#

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

wintry steppe
#

ohh i see

#

i'm slow haha

#

so then would it be correct to say that the operations should be defined as (f+g)(x,v) = f(x,v) + g(x,v) and f(c(x,v)) = cf(x,v)

#

for it to be a vector space

sonic osprey
#

These are functions to X to V

#

they take in an element of X and return an element of V

#

So it's just f(x) and g(x)

#

but yes thats the right idea

wintry steppe
#

oh i see

#

thank you i get it now, i had the complete wrong idea lol

#

if channel is free... could someone help me? Q.Q

#

if its lin alg 1 i can maybe

wintry steppe
#

idk

#

why do i need more than 1 matrix?

#

ah true

#

cuz my vector space if of matrixes

#

with mine i cant get the matrix 0 1 00

#

ok ok

#

so

#

the basis calle e

#

?

#

Like C00

#

????

#

dimension is 1 i think

#

mmm

#

the vector space C00

#

is (1,0,0,0,...), (0,1,0,0,0...)

#

and so on

#

it is infinity

#

but nvm, a basis would be 4 matrix with 1 on each position?

mirzathecutiepie

wintry steppe
#

yeah

#

okey

#

thanks

stoic pythonBOT
#

mirzathecutiepie

wintry steppe
#

no

wintry steppe
#

i meant this

#

so my space has dim 4, right? cuz yeah, it is a basis

#

yeah, canonical

#

sure, ty

wintry steppe
#

forget that XD

#

Give examples of two DISTINCT bases for the vector space of polynomials with degree less than or equal to 3

can i just write 1, at and 1, at, bt^2 where a and b are constants?

#

are they distinct?

nocturne jewel
#

They arent bases for $\mathbb{R}[t]_{\leq 3}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

moshill1

wind pasture
#

ok

#

changing constants in front makes the bases different?

#

why is what i said wrong?

stable kindle
#

you missed t^2 in the first base

wind pasture
#

its not a basis

#

since its lin dep?

stable kindle
#

it just doesn't cover t^2

#

oh

nocturne jewel
#

Pretty sure you're also missing t^3.. since it's deg less than or equal to 3

yes, bases are sets which span and are lin indep

I originally mentioned they said deg less than or equal to 3

#

yes

#

non zero determinant implies that A is an isomorphism, so A is surjective. the column space must be equal to the codomain

#

For matrices, how do you distinguish between an automorphism and an isomorphism? Or is the distinction purely theoretical?

automorphism

#

is not necessarily invertible

tame mural

Huh! I thought automorphisms are <precisely> invertible endomorphisms

#

@rose cairn can you think of a way to represent a 2x2 matrix squared

#

maybe use that to make a system of equations

#

use classic algebra techniques on it

#

or matlab

rose cairn
#

Honestly I have no idea

#

I am fried

robust pond
#

say i wrote $\begin{pmatrix} a & b \ c & d \end{pmatrix}$

stoic pythonBOT
#

jan Niku

rose cairn
#

we can square that

robust pond
#

what do you get

#

idk i guess its just clear you'd use this to make a system of equations

#

4 equations, 4 unknowns

#

so you can definitely draw a conclusion with a little work about how many solutions there are

rose cairn
#

4

robust pond
#

idk if this is the easiest way but its what comes to mind

#

4?

rose cairn
#

wait what

robust pond
#

what do you get when you square that matrix

rose cairn
#

a^2+bc

#

ac+dc

#

ab+bd

#

bc+d^2

robust pond
#

yea more or less

#

you see how that gives you 4 equations?

rose cairn
#

yup

robust pond
#

a^2+bc=96, ...

rose cairn
#

rose cairn
#

There is no matrix that exist

tame mural
#

For matrices, how do you distinguish between an automorphism and an isomorphism? Or is the distinction purely theoretical?

wintry steppe
#

isomorphism = invertible linear map between two vector spaces
automorphism = invertible linear map from a vector space to itself
i guess they do coincide for matrices, since the domain and codomain must then be F^n (F the field from which your matrix pulls its scalars, and n the dimension of the matrix)

#

but on the level of linear maps you can't really say that anymore

#

if you wanted to, it'd be dependent on a choice of basis

#

the same linear isomorphism V -> W of n-dimensional vector spaces over a field F could give two different-looking automorphisms of F^n (they'd be the same up to a change in basis)

sharp idol
rose cairn
#

Because when I solved the system of equations for the unknown a b c and d and squared the matrix

#

It didn’t equal that of x^2

wintry steppe
#

What makes this a linear transformation?

dire thunder
#

well you have matrix and there is an isomorphism between matrices and linear mappings

#

but speaking more seriously

#

they just show that TS is also linear mapping if T and S are both linear

#

i mean see that you have
T(y_1,y_2) = (6y_1+7y_2, 8y)1+9y_2)

#

where (y_1,y_2)=S(x_1,x_2)=(x_1+2x_2, 3x_1+5x_2)

#

thus you have
TS(x_1,x_2)

#

that is, S maps (x_1,x_2) to (y_1, y_2) which is mapped to (z_1,z_2) by S

wintry steppe
#

I see so it makes a little triangle like the diagrams if you put them next to each other

dire thunder
#

yes

wintry steppe
#

But what this is is a proof to show it is a linear transformation

dire thunder
#

well it is like with all function compositions if you are familiar with that but here you have particular case

wintry steppe
#

I don't understand what would make it not a linear tranformation in this case

dire thunder
wintry steppe
#

if that makes sense

#

Yes they also do the definition after

#

but they said this was the "brute force" method

dire thunder
#

well e.g. if 0 would be mapped to not 0 it would be not linear mapping

dire thunder
#

and they got matrix in the end

#

thus they got linear map

wintry steppe
#

here let me post the question itself

dire thunder
#

what i mean that by finding matrix they've found an explicit formula for your mapping

wintry steppe
#

Oh I see so if they did not find a formula it would not be linear?

dire thunder
#

it would

#

oh wait

#

i mean they could do defn based proof

#

or find formula and do proof on it or just use that it is matrix

wintry steppe
#

Yes after this they do a definition based proof

#

Still very confused on how that first so called brute force method shows it is linear

Abb is the covariance matrix for xb

lower case are vectors

but in this one the linear term is bTx

#

in the example above it's xT b

dusky epoch
#

$b^Tx = x^Tb$ does it not

stoic pythonBOT
sudden nacelle
#

why

#

how does that work

i think you're right

but i'm not sure why

#

oh

#

it's dot product

#

nvm ty

dusky epoch
#

yes

sudden nacelle
#

does it work for covariance matrix too

dusky epoch
#

?

sudden nacelle
#

does xT sigma^-1 u = x sigma^-1 uT

dusky epoch
#

you mean $x^T \Sigma^{-1} u = u^T \Sigma^{-1} x$?

stoic pythonBOT
sudden nacelle
#

yep

dusky epoch
#

if Sigma is symmetric then it should work

sudden nacelle

so it works for all symmetric matrices

limber sierra
#

a unique mapping, in the sense that its impossible for f(x) to equal, say, both 5 and 7 for the same x

#

[unless 5 = 7]

#

somewhat more precisely: a relation f: X -> Y is a well-defined function if:

  • for every x in X, f(x) = y for some y in Y
  • for every x, x' in X, x = x' implies f(x) = f(x')

#

Guys question, when a system has more unknowns than equations, then the system has infinitely many solutions. Does that only apply to homogeneous linear systems or also regular linear systems?

dusky epoch
#

it is possible for a system with more unknowns than equations to have no solutions at all

#

but if it does have at least one, then it has infinitely many

#

very simple example: $\begin{cases} x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 = 2 \ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 = 7 \ 4x_1 - 7x_4 + x_5 = 0 \end{cases}$

stoic pythonBOT

So it's better to solve and see when the system is homogeneous.

hi. How can i check if a norm is a norm on an infinity space?

#

actually, on the space made by all polynomials of 1 variable?

#

which i think it is, but idk how to prove for infinity spaces

#

ot this space isnt actually infinity?

wintry steppe
#

ye ye, this was that i was wondering

#

The sum is finite

dire thunder
#

i mean defn of norm does not differ for finite and infinite dim spaces

wintry steppe
#

But for polynomials, to prove the triangular inequality, if i suppose A until n, and B until m (as degrees), the n>m, i do the sum until n and then i do the norm of B with the coeficients from n-m to m?

dire thunder
#

it should have the same props for all spaces

wintry steppe
dire thunder
#

it is not infinity

wintry steppe
#

i know ^^'

dire thunder
#

take two polynoms

#

WLOG assume they have the same deg

#

otherwise just extend smallest one by zeros

wintry steppe

what does wlog mean?

dire thunder

without loss of generality

wintry steppe
#

ah okey

dire thunder
wintry steppe

i could do that too

In mathematics, the Lp spaces are function spaces defined using a natural generalization of the p-norm for finite-dimensional vector spaces. They are sometimes called Lebesgue spaces, named after Henri Lebesgue (Dunford & Schwartz 1958, III.3), although according to the Bourbaki group (Bourbaki 1987) they were first introduced by Frigyes Riesz (...

Why are non leading variables considered free variables when there are more unknowns than equations?
I just know that non leading variables are free variables, idk why tho

#

Could someone please explain

lavish jewel
#

the non-leading ones end up being defined by rows that contain only zeros

#

that corresponds to 0 = 0, which is always true

#

the variable corresponding to that row (when reduced) can then take any value, as it does not change the fact that 0 = 0

#

the leading ones, as you call them, do participate in equations that are not all 0, so they must satisfy some specific relationship

royal relic

that makes much more sense

thank you

Absolutely not. Vector multiplication, cross or dot products, is with vectors only

In other words, the expression you have is absolutely meaningless

alright so cross product - dot product x a vector is not possible?

Nope, because the dot product is a scalar

You can't cross a scalar with a vector

brisk fractal
#

it's the l-p norm

#

you can think of l-p(S) as the space of functions that have bounded total sum of outputs on S

#

and it turns out that every hilbert space is isomorphic to some l-2(S) for some set S

#

that would be a banach space

#

although yeah hilbert spaces are also complete

#

(well not necessarily, just usually)

#

no, just different

#

hilbert spaces are infinite-dimensional inner product spaces with a complete orthonormal system

#

to be technical

#

prehilbert spaces are not complete sorry

#

if anything I hate hilbert spaces

#

they're necessary but kind of annoying to work with because of their tendency to be infinite dimensional

#

banach spaces are just complete normed vector spaces

#

maybe I am unqualified to speak on this

#

complete in the case of hilbert spaces is that the orthonormal system has a dense span in the hilbert space if I remember correctly, which implies analytic forms of completion

#

it's weirdly complicated

#

the closure of the span of the "basis" is the entire space

#

closure is the set of limit points

compact relic
#

How do I show that the given set W is a vector space?

what I attempt is turning it into Ax = 0 form and make the argument that it is a subspace of R^2

#

[2 -1 0 -3 [x1 [0
0 1 -1 -2 ] x2 0 ]
x3 =
x4 ]

gray dust
#

@compact relic looking at Ax=0, x has 4 entries, so ker(A) is a subspace of R^4, not R^2. also rewriting W as ker(A) is cheating a bit since we're taking for granted that ker(A) is a subspace. we can show W is a vector space by the vector space axioms, but noting W is a subset of R^4, our work can be cut down if we instead just show W is a subspace of R^4, which has easy-to-check criteria

@blissful vault be careful to note that T maps from the space of polynomials of degree two or less to matrices in R^{2x2}--not simply to R

Is there any way to know if a matrix is invertible other than the fact that the Determinant should not be 0?

raw sand
#

Sure there are

#

If you did gaussian elimination then youd get some form of the identity matrix

#

or rank(A) = n (nxn matrix)

#

or the nullity of A is 0

#

theres plenty more

#

just google invertible matrix theorem

lavish jewel
#

there is also the question of what you mean by "invertible"

#

sometimes matrices are invertible w.r.t. rows or columns, but not both

#

when the matrix isn't square

lavish jewel
#

not quite

#

the pseudoinverse is a "back-projection" onto the row space

#

it's only equal to the original right-multiplied vector if the null space contains only the 0 vector

#

but the operation exists regardless

#

it just leaves you in a subspace of the row space

#

Ax = b -> x_rowspace = (A^T A)^-1 A^T b, yeah

#

when x is multiplied with A from the right side

#

if the null space contains only the 0 vector, this pseudo inverse gets x exactly

#

and so the matrix is invertible for vectors multiplied to the right of A

#

even if the null space spans a larger space, you can still do the pseudo inverse

#

but then x = x_rowspace + x_nullspace

#

and then it is no longer invertible for x multiplied to the right of A, since you cannot get this x_nullspace back

if this is my vector space

norm 1

sonic osprey
#

what

#

also I have no idea what vector space you're taking about

wintry steppe
#

a polynomial

sonic osprey
#

that really does not help

#

a single polynomial is not a vector space

wintry steppe
#

it is a succession

#

1, t, t^2, t^3, ...

sonic osprey
#

That still isn't a vector space

#

It can be the basis of a vector space

wintry steppe
#

well, i just need to calculate its norm 1 and norm inf

#

norm 1 is n and norm inf is 1?

sonic osprey
#

yes

wintry steppe
#

ty

#

what does it mean "prove both norm are not equivalent"?

#

like, both are p-norm

#

right?

sonic osprey
#

Do you know what it means for norms to be equivalent

wintry steppe
#

mmm i guess no

#

?

sonic osprey
#

yes

wintry steppe
#

so for this to be

#

a and b should be 1/n

#

why they cant?

#

cuz 1/n does not belong to my succession right?

sonic osprey
#

uh what

#

a and b are scalars of your field

wintry steppe
#

mmm idk

#

my field isnt polynomials?

#

i have a * n <= 1 <= b * n

sonic osprey
#

your scalars are probably real numbers or something

wintry steppe
#

it said they have to belong to E

sonic osprey
#

x belongs to E

#

a and b don't necessarily belong to E

wintry steppe
#

Oh

#

then are both equivalents or not? cuz 1/n is real number, and if a = b = 1/n

#

then 1 <= 1 <= 1

#

which is true, so they are equivalents

#

but problems sais "prove they are not equivalents"

#

and 1/n is > 0

sonic osprey
#

The problem is you're only doing that for a single x

#

you have to show that this is true for all x for the norms to be equivalent

wintry steppe
#

what? no no no

wintry steppe
#

it is refering to norm 1 and norm inf with the polynomials from the previous exercice

sonic osprey
#

Yes I understand

#

Again, you need to show that those inequalities are true for all x, not just the single P(t) you had in your previous question

wintry steppe
#

what all x?

sonic osprey
#

all x in E

#

just like it says in your picture

wintry steppe
#

I dont understand what do you mean

#

P(t) is generic

#

norm 1 of my P(t) is n

sonic osprey
#

From what I'm understanding, it's not?

#

How is P(t) generic

#

It's just a single vector in E

wintry steppe
#

because it can be any n

sonic osprey
#

Again, the elements 1,t,t^2, t^3,... don't form a vector space

wintry steppe
#

then idk what to do

sonic osprey
#

Figure out what your vector space E is first

wintry steppe
#

a0 + a1 * t + a2 * t^2 and so on?

sonic osprey
#

idk read your problem

wintry steppe
#

aAAAAAAAA

sonic osprey
#

Right

wintry steppe
#

so then it sais, consider P(t) the polynomial succession of SUM(t^k) k=0, n

#

calculate norm 1 and norm inf

sonic osprey
#

Sure

wintry steppe
#

norm 1 = n and norm inf = 1

#

cuz coeficients are 1 on my succession

#

rigth?

sonic osprey
#

Yes that is true

wintry steppe
#

okey, and then it sais "prove they are not equivalent"

sonic osprey
#

right

wintry steppe
#

and here is where idk what to do

sonic osprey
#

To show they're not equivalent, you need to show that for any choice of a and b, there's some element x of E that makes the inequality not true

wintry steppe
#

i cant find any

sonic osprey
#

Think about it

#

Think about the P_n's

wintry steppe
#

i am thinking XD

sonic osprey
#

If I give you a = 0.5 and b = 1, can you find a vector x that violates the inequality?

#

ah

like a0 + a1 * t

?

In mathematics, a norm is a function from a real or complex vector space to the nonnegative real numbers that behaves in certain ways like the distance from the origin: it commutes with scaling, obeys a form of the triangle inequality, and is zero only at the origin.

Yep, that generalizes to normed spaces. I know exactly what you are referring to

wintry steppe
#

norm inf of this is 1, while norm 1 is 2

sonic osprey
#

Well not quite cause that makes them all equal

wintry steppe
#

so 0.5 * 1 <= 2 <= 1 * 1

#

this is not true

#

???

sonic osprey
#

Ah okay I switched the norms

wintry steppe
#

u can switch them, right?

sonic osprey
#

Yes, either order is fine

wintry steppe
#

so this is fine?

sonic osprey
#

I was thinking about the other order

#

Yes, but you've only proved a single case

#

You need to show that

#

No matter what a and b I give you, then you can find a polynomial that violates the inequality

wintry steppe
#

isnt 1 counter example enough to prove something?

sonic osprey
#

Depends on what you're trying to disprove

wintry steppe
#

like, if u say something works for everything, finding 1 who doesnt is enough, isnt it?

sonic osprey
#

If you're trying to prove that something holds for all (), then a single counterexample is enough yes

sharp idol
#

So $||a_0+a_1t||_\infty=\max{a_0,a_1t}$ if I am understanding what is happening correctly.

Alright, I'll let the peep talking after Max carry on. Sorry for the intrusion.

sonic osprey
#

But what is happening here is that the norms are equivalent if you can find any a,b that makes the norms satisfy the inequality

wintry steppe
#

lmao zoph got called max

stoic pythonBOT
#

dackid

sharp idol
wintry steppe
sonic osprey
#

Again, two norms are equivalent if you can find any a,b that makes all x satisfy the inequalities

#

So you can't disprove this with a single counterexample

wintry steppe
#

aaaaaaah

#

okey okey

sonic osprey
#

Because maybe there's some other a,b that works

wintry steppe
#

ok ok i got it

#

mmmm

#

okey then i cant figure out any

sonic osprey
#

Try out more cases

#

if I give you a = 1 and b = 10, then what can you do

wintry steppe
#

same but to t^10

sonic osprey
#

Right

#

so no matter what a and b I pick, what can you do?

wintry steppe
#

increase the n

sonic osprey
#

right

#

but what exactly do you need to increase it to

wintry steppe
#

like... they are not equivalents cuz this space is inf-dimensional?

sonic osprey
#

i mean

#

its true that all norms are equivalent for finite dimensional spaces

#

But norms can be equivalent on infinite dimensional spaces too

#

just consider some norm ||.|| and like 2||.||

wintry steppe
sonic osprey
#

Right

#

Well you probably want max(a,b) + 1

wintry steppe
#

or that

#

so i will always be able to find it

sonic osprey
#

exactly

wintry steppe
#

??

#

then they are equivalents

#

??????

sonic osprey
#

uh what

wintry steppe
#

mmm

#

idk (?)

sonic osprey
#

Not sure what you're saying

wintry steppe
#

if i can find a and b that a * N1 <= N2 <= b * N1

#

it means they are equivalents, no?

sonic osprey
#

But you can't?

#

The whole thing you've been trying to show

#

is that for any a,b you take, you can find something that violates that inequality

wintry steppe
sonic osprey
#

You can always find a vector in your vector space that violates the inequality

#

which is what we were looking for

wintry steppe
#

which one is N1 for you? norm inf or norm 1?

#

i need to write it down

sharp idol
#

iirc, Norm inf should be N2

#

But it sounds like they are saying comparability is not relevant here.

wintry steppe
#

actually no xD that makes it harder

tame mural
#

What's a common way to indicate the subset of naturals smaller than x? [x]?

wintry steppe
#

okey so what he was saying i think is: i have 1+t+t^2

dire thunder
#

S_x

wintry steppe
#

norm 1 = 3 and norm inf = 1

stoic pythonBOT
#

Commander Vimes

wintry steppe
#

so a * norm inf <= norm 1 <= b * norm inf

#

i can pick a = 1 and b = 4 and it satisfy the inequality

dire thunder
#

what are your defns of norms

wintry steppe
#

but i can go further with my polynomial, and go to t^5

#

then b will need to increase too, but i can keep making P bigger

#

is this what u mean@sonic osprey ?

sonic osprey
#

Again no

wintry steppe
#

Q.Q

sonic osprey
#

You don't get to pick different a,b for every different polynomial

#

Two norms are equivalent if you can find a,b such that the inequality holds for all polynomials

wintry steppe
#

so the only way a,b hold for all polynomials, is if b = inf, cuz i have inf polynomials, but this isnt valid

#

this?

sonic osprey
#

it's not really about having infinite polynomials again

wintry steppe
#

well, with a finite number

#

i can find a and b

sonic osprey
#

Again

#

the point is that for any a,b, you can find a polynomial that violates the inequality

#

@wintry steppe this is not the right channel

wintry steppe
#

yes but, i can find find it because i have infinity polynomials. I dont know why u keep saying this is not the reason :/

sonic osprey
#

Okay

#

Let's consider two different norms

#

Consider ||.||_1 and 2||.||_1

#

these two norms are equivalent even though you have infinitely many polynomials

dire thunder
sonic osprey
#

@wintry steppe Please read the channel description, this is for undergraduate level linear algebra. Move to #precalculus

#

So the reason must be something other than "infinitely polynomials"

#

you need to use some actual facts about the 1 norm and inf norm

#

You need to use what we said earlier about the polynomials P_n

wintry steppe
#

well, i dont see it

sonic osprey
#

Just read over the conversation

#

We've already said everything you need
