  2. Linear independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_independence

    The linear dependency of a sequence of vectors does not depend of the order of the terms in the sequence. This allows defining linear independence for a finite set of vectors: A finite set of vectors is linearly independent if the sequence obtained by ordering them is linearly independent. In other words, one has the following result that is ...

  3. Gram matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_matrix

    An important application is to compute linear independence: a set of vectors are linearly independent if and only if the Gram determinant (the determinant of the Gram matrix) is non-zero. It is named after Jørgen Pedersen Gram .

  4. Singular value decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition

    A singular value for which we can find two left (or right) singular vectors that are linearly independent is called degenerate. If ⁠ u 1 {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} _{1}} ⁠ and ⁠ u 2 {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} _{2}} ⁠ are two left-singular vectors which both correspond to the singular value σ, then any normalized linear combination of ...

  5. Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a set B of vectors in a vector space V is called a basis (pl.: bases) if every element of V may be written in a unique way as a finite linear combination of elements of B. The coefficients of this linear combination are referred to as components or coordinates of the vector with respect to B. The elements of a basis are called ...

  6. Matroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroid

    In combinatorics, a matroid / ˈ m eɪ t r ɔɪ d / is a structure that abstracts and generalizes the notion of linear independence in vector spaces.There are many equivalent ways to define a matroid axiomatically, the most significant being in terms of: independent sets; bases or circuits; rank functions; closure operators; and closed sets or flats.

  7. Wronskian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wronskian

    In mathematics, the Wronskian of n differentiable functions is the determinant formed with the functions and their derivatives up to order n – 1.It was introduced in 1812 by the Polish mathematician Józef Wroński, and is used in the study of differential equations, where it can sometimes show the linear independence of a set of solutions.

  8. Linear combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_combination

    is the linear combination of vectors and such that = +. In mathematics, a linear combination or superposition is an expression constructed from a set of terms by multiplying each term by a constant and adding the results (e.g. a linear combination of x and y would be any expression of the form ax + by, where a and b are constants).

  9. Row and column spaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_and_column_spaces

    A linear combination of v 1 and v 2 is any vector of the form [] + [] = [] The set of all such vectors is the column space of A. In this case, the column space is precisely the set of vectors ( x , y , z ) ∈ R 3 satisfying the equation z = 2 x (using Cartesian coordinates , this set is a plane through the origin in three-dimensional space ).
