Any complete inner product space has an orthonormal basis. The two previous theorems raise the question of whether all inner product spaces have an orthonormal basis. The answer, it turns out is negative. This is

10998-465: The coordinates t 1 , ..., t k for a vector in the span are uniquely determined. A basis for a subspace S is a set of linearly independent vectors whose span is S . The number of elements in a basis is always equal to the geometric dimension of the subspace.

On an inner product space, or more generally a vector space with a nondegenerate form (hence an isomorphism V → V ∗ {\displaystyle V\to V^{*}} ), vectors can be sent to covectors (in coordinates, via transpose), so that one can take the inner product and outer product of two vectors—not simply of

15651-2084: The kernel of A consists in the non-zero columns of C such that the corresponding column of B is a zero column . In fact, the computation may be stopped as soon as the upper matrix is in column echelon form: the remainder of the computation consists in changing the basis of the vector space generated by the columns whose upper part is zero. For example, suppose that A = [ 1 0 − 3 0 2 − 8 0 1 5 0 − 1 4 0 0 0 1 7 − 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 ] . {\displaystyle A={\begin{bmatrix}1&0&-3&0&2&-8\\0&1&5&0&-1&4\\0&0&0&1&7&-9\\0&0&0&0&0&0\end{bmatrix}}.} Then [ A I ] = [ 1 0 − 3 0 2 − 8 0 1 5 0 − 1 4 0 0 0 1 7 − 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 ] . {\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}A\\\hline I\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}1&0&-3&0&2&-8\\0&1&5&0&-1&4\\0&0&0&1&7&-9\\0&0&0&0&0&0\\\hline 1&0&0&0&0&0\\0&1&0&0&0&0\\0&0&1&0&0&0\\0&0&0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&0&1&0\\0&0&0&0&0&1\end{bmatrix}}.} Putting

The subset of K described by a system of homogeneous linear parametric equations is a subspace: For example, the set of all vectors ( x ,  y ,  z ) parameterized by the equations is a two-dimensional subspace of K , if K is a number field (such as real or rational numbers). In linear algebra, the system of parametric equations can be written as

16920-442: The picture); so, every inner product space is a normed vector space . If this normed space is also complete (that is, a Banach space ) then the inner product space is a Hilbert space . If an inner product space H is not a Hilbert space, it can be extended by completion to a Hilbert space H ¯ . {\displaystyle {\overline {H}}.} This means that H {\displaystyle H}

17061-427: The problem of computing the kernel makes sense only for matrices such that the number of rows is equal to their rank: because of the rounding errors , a floating-point matrix has almost always a full rank , even when it is an approximation of a matrix of a much smaller rank. Even for a full-rank matrix, it is possible to compute its kernel only if it is well conditioned , i.e. it has a low condition number . Even for

Among the simplest examples of inner product spaces are R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } and C . {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} .} The real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } are a vector space over R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } that becomes an inner product space with arithmetic multiplication as its inner product: ⟨ x , y ⟩ := x y  for  x , y ∈ R . {\displaystyle \langle x,y\rangle :=xy\quad {\text{ for }}x,y\in \mathbb {R} .} The complex numbers C {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } are

19740-524: The vector x . In linear algebra, this subspace is known as the column space (or image ) of the matrix A . It is precisely the subspace of K spanned by the column vectors of A . The row space of a matrix is the subspace spanned by its row vectors. The row space is interesting because it is the orthogonal complement of the null space (see below). In general, a subspace of K determined by k parameters (or spanned by k vectors) has dimension k . However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example,

19881-446: The vectors v 1 , ... ,  v k have n components, then their span is a subspace of K . Geometrically, the span is the flat through the origin in n -dimensional space determined by the points v 1 , ... ,  v k . A system of linear parametric equations in a finite-dimensional space can also be written as a single matrix equation: In this case, the subspace consists of all possible values of
