  • Determinant Notes
    68 UNIT FIVE DETERMINANTS 5.1 INTRODUCTION In unit one the determinant of a 2× 2 matrix was introduced and used in the evaluation of a cross product. In this chapter we extend the definition of a determinant to any size square matrix. The determinant has a variety of applications. The value of the determinant of a square matrix A can be used to determine whether A is invertible or noninvertible. An explicit formula for A–1 exists that involves the determinant of A. Some systems of linear equations have solutions that can be expressed in terms of determinants. 5.2 DEFINITION OF THE DETERMINANT a11 a12 Recall that in chapter one the determinant of the 2× 2 matrix A = was a21 a22 defined to be the number a11a22 − a12 a21 and that the notation det (A) or A was used to represent the determinant of A. For any given n × n matrix A = a , the notation A [ ij ]n×n ij will be used to denote the (n −1)× (n −1) submatrix obtained from A by deleting the ith row and the jth column of A. The determinant of any size square matrix A = a is [ ij ]n×n defined recursively as follows. Definition of the Determinant Let A = a be an n × n matrix. [ ij ]n×n (1) If n = 1, that is A = [a11], then we define det (A) = a11 . n 1k+ (2) If na>=1, we define det(A) ∑(-1)11kk det(A ) k=1 Example If A = []5 , then by part (1) of the definition of the determinant, det (A) = 5.

  • THE DIMENSION of a VECTOR SPACE 1. Introduction This Handout
    THE DIMENSION OF A VECTOR SPACE KEITH CONRAD 1. Introduction This handout is a supplementary discussion leading up to the definition of dimension of a vector space and some of its properties. We start by defining the span of a finite set of vectors and linear independence of a finite set of vectors, which are combined to define the all-important concept of a basis. Definition 1.1. Let V be a vector space over a field F . For any finite subset fv1; : : : ; vng of V , its span is the set of all of its linear combinations: Span(v1; : : : ; vn) = fc1v1 + ··· + cnvn : ci 2 F g: Example 1.2. In F 3, Span((1; 0; 0); (0; 1; 0)) is the xy-plane in F 3. Example 1.3. If v is a single vector in V then Span(v) = fcv : c 2 F g = F v is the set of scalar multiples of v, which for nonzero v should be thought of geometrically as a line (through the origin, since it includes 0 · v = 0). Since sums of linear combinations are linear combinations and the scalar multiple of a linear combination is a linear combination, Span(v1; : : : ; vn) is a subspace of V . It may not be all of V , of course. Definition 1.4. If fv1; : : : ; vng satisfies Span(fv1; : : : ; vng) = V , that is, if every vector in V is a linear combination from fv1; : : : ; vng, then we say this set spans V or it is a spanning set for V . Example 1.5. In F 2, the set f(1; 0); (0; 1); (1; 1)g is a spanning set of F 2.

  • Determinants Math 122 Calculus III D Joyce, Fall 2012
    Determinants Math 122 Calculus III D Joyce, Fall 2012 What they are. A determinant is a value associated to a square array of numbers, that square array being called a square matrix. For example, here are determinants of a general 2 × 2 matrix and a general 3 × 3 matrix. a b = ad − bc: c d a b c d e f = aei + bfg + cdh − ceg − afh − bdi: g h i The determinant of a matrix A is usually denoted jAj or det (A). You can think of the rows of the determinant as being vectors. For the 3×3 matrix above, the vectors are u = (a; b; c), v = (d; e; f), and w = (g; h; i). Then the determinant is a value associated to n vectors in Rn. There's a general definition for n×n determinants. It's a particular signed sum of products of n entries in the matrix where each product is of one entry in each row and column. The two ways you can choose one entry in each row and column of the 2 × 2 matrix give you the two products ad and bc. There are six ways of chosing one entry in each row and column in a 3 × 3 matrix, and generally, there are n! ways in an n × n matrix. Thus, the determinant of a 4 × 4 matrix is the signed sum of 24, which is 4!, terms. In this general definition, half the terms are taken positively and half negatively. In class, we briefly saw how the signs are determined by permutations.

  • HYPERCYCLIC SUBSPACES in FRÉCHET SPACES 1. Introduction
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 134, Number 7, Pages 1955–1961 S 0002-9939(05)08242-0 Article electronically published on December 16, 2005 HYPERCYCLIC SUBSPACES IN FRECHET´ SPACES L. BERNAL-GONZALEZ´ (Communicated by N. Tomczak-Jaegermann) Dedicated to the memory of Professor Miguel de Guzm´an, who died in April 2004 Abstract. In this note, we show that every infinite-dimensional separable Fr´echet space admitting a continuous norm supports an operator for which there is an infinite-dimensional closed subspace consisting, except for zero, of hypercyclic vectors. The family of such operators is even dense in the space of bounded operators when endowed with the strong operator topology. This completes the earlier work of several authors. 1. Introduction and notation Throughout this paper, the following standard notation will be used: N is the set of positive integers, R is the real line, and C is the complex plane. The symbols (mk), (nk) will stand for strictly increasing sequences in N.IfX, Y are (Hausdorff) topological vector spaces (TVSs) over the same field K = R or C,thenL(X, Y ) will denote the space of continuous linear mappings from X into Y , while L(X)isthe class of operators on X,thatis,L(X)=L(X, X). The strong operator topology (SOT) in L(X) is the one where the convergence is defined as pointwise convergence at every x ∈ X.

For every 2 × 2 matrix A, there exists a 2 × 2 matrix B such that det(A + B) 6= det A + det B. Solution note: False! Take A to be the zero matrix for a counterexample. 2. If the change of basis matrix SA!B = ~e4 ~e3 ~e2 ~e1 , then the elements of A are the same as the element of B, but in a different order. Solution note: True. The matrix tells us that the first element of A is the fourth element of B, the second element of basis A is the third element of B, the third element of basis A is the second element of B, and the the fourth element of basis A is the first element of B. 6 6 3. Every linear transformation R ! R is an isomorphism. Solution note: False. The zero map is a a counter example. 4. If matrix B is obtained from A by swapping two rows and det A < det B, then A is invertible. Solution note: True: we only need to know det A 6= 0. But if det A = 0, then det B = − det A = 0, so det A < det B does not hold. 5. If two n × n matrices have the same determinant, they are similar. Solution note: False: The only matrix similar to the zero matrix is itself. But many 1 0 matrices besides the zero matrix have determinant zero, such as : 0 0 6.
