NullSpace

Usage
Notes
Further Examples

Here is a nonsingular matrix.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

That is, the null space of the nonsingular matrix mm is trivial. There is no nonzero vector v such that mm.v = 0.

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

Here the null space has dimension  .

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

This checks the result.

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

These two vectors span the null space of the  matrix m2x4.

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

Multiplying m2x4 by any linear combination of the vectors v1 and v2 gives the zero vector.

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

This simplifies the expression.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

The rank of the matrix is the difference between the dimension of the range and the dimension of the null space.

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

In[9]:=  

Using NullSpace to Find a Linear Recurrence

This defines the function findLinearRecurrence which gives a linear recurrence corresponding to the list of numeric quantities vals.

In[10]:=  

This finds the linear recurrence corresponding to the first few values of the Fibonacci sequence.

In[11]:=  

Out[11]=

This finds the linear recurrence corresponding to a random sequence of complex numbers.

In[12]:=  

Out[12]=

In[13]:=  

Out[13]=
