Key Math Terms and definitions covered in this textbook
-
Basis for V.
Independent vectors VI, ... , v d whose linear combinations give each vector in V as v = CIVI + ... + CdVd. V has many bases, each basis gives unique c's. A vector space has many bases!
-
Complex conjugate
z = a - ib for any complex number z = a + ib. Then zz = Iz12.
-
Ellipse (or ellipsoid) x T Ax = 1.
A must be positive definite; the axes of the ellipse are eigenvectors of A, with lengths 1/.JI. (For IIx II = 1 the vectors y = Ax lie on the ellipse IIA-1 yll2 = Y T(AAT)-1 Y = 1 displayed by eigshow; axis lengths ad
-
Identity matrix I (or In).
Diagonal entries = 1, off-diagonal entries = 0.
-
Iterative method.
A sequence of steps intended to approach the desired solution.
-
Left nullspace N (AT).
Nullspace of AT = "left nullspace" of A because y T A = OT.
-
Linear transformation T.
Each vector V in the input space transforms to T (v) in the output space, and linearity requires T(cv + dw) = c T(v) + d T(w). Examples: Matrix multiplication A v, differentiation and integration in function space.
-
Linearly dependent VI, ... , Vn.
A combination other than all Ci = 0 gives L Ci Vi = O.
-
Multiplier eij.
The pivot row j is multiplied by eij and subtracted from row i to eliminate the i, j entry: eij = (entry to eliminate) / (jth pivot).
-
Normal equation AT Ax = ATb.
Gives the least squares solution to Ax = b if A has full rank n (independent columns). The equation says that (columns of A)·(b - Ax) = o.
-
Partial pivoting.
In each column, choose the largest available pivot to control roundoff; all multipliers have leij I < 1. See condition number.
-
Permutation matrix P.
There are n! orders of 1, ... , n. The n! P 's have the rows of I in those orders. P A puts the rows of A in the same order. P is even or odd (det P = 1 or -1) based on the number of row exchanges to reach I.
-
Rayleigh quotient q (x) = X T Ax I x T x for symmetric A: Amin < q (x) < Amax.
Those extremes are reached at the eigenvectors x for Amin(A) and Amax(A).
-
Right inverse A+.
If A has full row rank m, then A+ = AT(AAT)-l has AA+ = 1m.
-
Schur complement S, D - C A -} B.
Appears in block elimination on [~ g ].
-
Solvable system Ax = b.
The right side b is in the column space of A.

Orthonormal columns (complex analog of Q).
-
Vandermonde matrix V.
V c = b gives coefficients of p(x) = Co + ... + Cn_IXn- 1 with P(Xi) = bi. Vij = (Xi)j-I and det V = product of (Xk - Xi) for k > i.
