  2. Linear span - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_span

    In mathematics, the linear span (also called the linear hull [1] or just span) of a set of elements of a vector space is the smallest linear subspace of that contains . It is the set of all finite linear combinations of the elements of S , [ 2 ] and the intersection of all linear subspaces that contain S . {\displaystyle S.}

  3. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    For example, the collection of all possible linear combinations of the vectors on the left-hand side (LHS) is called their span, and the equations have a solution just when the right-hand vector is within that span. If every vector within that span has exactly one expression as a linear combination of the given left-hand vectors, then any ...

  4. Row and column spaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_and_column_spaces

    In linear algebra, the column space (also called the range or image) of a matrix A is the span (set of all possible linear combinations) of its column vectors. The column space of a matrix is the image or range of the corresponding matrix transformation .

  5. Vector space - Wikipedia

    The closure property also implies that every intersection of linear subspaces is a linear subspace. [11] Linear span Given a subset G of a vector space V, the linear span or simply the span of G is the smallest linear subspace of V that contains G, in the sense that it is the intersection of all linear subspaces that contain G.

  6. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra

    In three-dimensional Euclidean space, these three planes represent solutions to linear equations, and their intersection represents the set of common solutions: in this case, a unique point. The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations. Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as:

  7. Rank (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_(linear_algebra)

    Rank is thus a measure of the "nondegenerateness" of the system of linear equations and linear transformation encoded by A. There are multiple equivalent definitions of rank. A matrix's rank is one of its most fundamental characteristics. The rank is commonly denoted by rank(A) or rk(A); [2] sometimes the parentheses are not written, as in rank ...

  8. Closure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(mathematics)

    In linear algebra, the closure of a non-empty subset of a vector space (under vector-space operations, that is, addition and scalar multiplication) is the linear span of this subset. It is a vector space by the preceding general result, and it can be proved easily that is the set of linear combinations of elements of the subset.

  9. Linear subspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_subspace

    In mathematics, and more specifically in linear algebra, a linear subspace or vector subspace [1] [note 1] is a vector space that is a subset of some larger vector space. A linear subspace is usually simply called a subspace when the context serves to distinguish it from other types of subspaces .
