In mathematics, the fundamental theorem of linear algebra makes several statements regarding vector spaces. These may be stated concretely in terms of the rank r of an m×nmatrix A and its singular value decomposition:
First, each matrix
(A has m rows and n columns) induces four fundamental subspaces. These fundamental subspaces are:
name of subspace | definition | containing space | dimension | basis |
---|---|---|---|---|
column space, range or image | im(A) or range(A) | r (rank) | The first r columns of | |
nullspace or kernel | ker(A) or null(A) | n − r (nullity) | The last (n − r) columns of | |
row space or coimage | im(AT) or range(AT) | r | The first r rows of | |
left nullspace or cokernel | ker(AT) or null(AT) | m − r | The last (m − r) rows of |
