2 If {v 1, v 2,, v n } is a basis for a vector space V, then any vector v V, has a unique representation v = x 1 v 1 + x 2 v x n v n where x i R. the coefficients x 1, x 2,, x n are called the coordinates of v with respect to the ordered basis {v 1, v 2,, v n } The mapping v (x 1, x 2,, x n ) is a one-to-one correspondence between V and R n. This correspondence respects linear operations in V and in R n.

3 Let V be a vector space of dimension n Let v 1, v 2,, v n be a basis for V and g 1 : V R n be the coordinate mapping corresponding to this basis. Let u 1, u 2,, u n be another basis for V and g 2 : V R n be the coordinate mapping corresponding to this basis. The composition g 2 g 1 is a transformation of R n and it has the form x Ux, where U is an n n matrix. U is called the transition matrix from v 1, v 2,, v n to u 1, u 2,, u n. The columns of U, are coordinates of the vectors v 1, v 2,, v n with respect to the basis u 1, u 2,, u n

4 Example 7.7 Find the transition matrix from the basis v 1 = (1, 2, 3), v 2 = (1, 0, 1), v 3 = (1, 2, 1) to the basis u 1 = (1, 1, 0), u 2 = (0, 1, 1), u 3 = (1, 1, 1) Solution It is convenient to make a two-step transition: first from v 1, v 2, v 3 to e 1, e 2, e 3 and then from e 1, e 2, e 3 to u 1, u 2, u 3 Let U 1 be the transition matrix from v 1, v 2, v 3 to e 1, e 2, e 3 and let U 2 be the transition matrix from u 1, u 2, u 3 to e 1, e 2, e 3

5 U 1 = U 2 = Basis v 1, v 2, v 3 coordinates Basis e 1, e 2, e 3 coordinates Basis u 1, u 2, u 3 coordinates x U 1 x U 1 2 (U 1x)

6 Thus, the transition matrix from v 1, v 2, v 3 to u 1, u 2, u 3 is U 1 2 (U 1) U = U 1 2 (U 1) = = =

7 Definition. Given vector spaces V 1 and V 2 a mapping L : V 1 V 2 is linear if 1) L(x + y) = L(x) + L(y) 2)L(rx) = rl(x) Fot any x, y V 1 and r R OBS A function f : R R given by f (x) = ax + b is a linear transformation of the vector space R if and only if b = 0

8 Basic properties of linear transformations Let L : V 1 V 2 be a linear mapping. L(r 1 v 1 + r 2 v r k vk) = r 1 L(v 1 ) + r 2 L(v 2 ) + + r k L(v k ) for all k 1 : v 1, v 2,..., v k V; r 1, r 2,..., r k R L(0 1 ) = 0 2 where 0 1 and 0 2 are zero vectors in V 1 and V 2 respectively L( v) = L(v)

9 Examples Scaling. L : V V, L(v) = sv where s R L(x + y) = s(x + y) = sx + sy = L(x) + L(y) L(rx) = s(rx) = r(sx) = rl(x) Dot product with a fixed vector L : R n R, L(v) = v v 0 where v 0 R n L(x + y) = (x + y) v 0 = x v 0 + y v 0 = L(x) + L(y) L(rx) = (rx) v 0 = r(sx v 0 ) = rl(x)

10 Cross product with a fixed vector L : R n R, L(v) = v v 0 where v 0 R n L(x + y) = (x + y) v 0 = x v 0 + y v 0 = L(x) + L(y) L(rx) = (rx) v 0 = r(x v 0 ) = rl(x) Multiplication by a fixed matrix L : R n R m, L(v) = Av where A M m,n L(x + y) = A(x + y) = Ax + Ay = L(x) + L(y) L(rx) = A(rx) = r(ax) = rl(x)

11 Linear mappings of functional vector spaces Evaluation at a fixed point. L : F (R) R, L(f) = f (a) where a R L(f + g) = (f + g)(a) = f (a) + g(a) = L(f ) + L(g) L(rf ) = (rf )(a) = rf (a) = rl(f ) Multiplication by a fixed function. L : F (R) F (R), L(f ) = gf where g F (R) is a fixed function. L(f + h) = (f + h)(g) = fg + hg = L(f ) + L(h) L(rf ) = (rf )g = r(fg) = rl(f )

12 Differentiation. D : C 1 (R) C(R), D(f ) = f D(f + g) = (f + h) = f + g = D(f ) + D(h) D(rf ) = (rf ) = rf = rl(f ) Integration over a finite interval. I : C(R) R, I(f ) = b a f (x)dx I(f + g) = b a (f + g)(x)dx = b a (f )(x)dx + b a (g)(x)dx = I(f ) + I(g) I(rf ) = b a (rf )(x)dx = r b a f (x)dx = ri(f )

13 Ordinary Differential Operator. ( Linear differential operator). L : C (R) C d (R), L(f ) = g 2 f df 2 + g dx 2 1 dx + fg 0 where g 0, g 1, and g 2 are smooth functions on R L(f + g) = [g 2 d 2 dx 2 + g 1 d dx + g 0](f + g)(x) = [g 2 d 2 dx 2 + g 1 d dx + g 0](f )(x)+ [g 2 d 2 dx 2 + g 1 d dx + g 0](g)(x) = L(f ) + L(g) d L(rf ) = [g 2 d 2 + g dx 2 1 dx + g 0](rf )(x) = d r[g 2 d 2 + g dx 2 1 dx + g 0](f )(x) = rl(f )

14 Antiderivative Operator.(Linear integral operator). L : C[a, b] C 1 [a, b], (Lf )(x) = x a f (t)dt L(f + g) = x a (f + g)(t)dt = x a [f (t) + g(t)]dt = x a f (t)dt + x a g(t)dt = L(f ) + L(g) L(rf ) = x a (rf )(t)dt = x a rf (t)dt = r x a f (t)dt = rl(f )

15 Hilbert-Schmidt operator.(linear integral operator). L : C[a, b] C[c, d], (Lf )(x) = b a K(x, y)f (y)dy where K C ([a, b] [c, d]) L(f + g) = b K(x, y)(f + g)(y) = b a b a K(x, y)[f (y) + g(y])dy = a K(x, y)f (y) + b a K(x, y)g(y) = L(f ) + L(g) L(rf ) = x a (rf )(t)dt = x a rf (t)dt = r x a f (t)dt = rl(f )

16 Laplace transform. (Linear integral operator). L : BC(0, ) C(0, ), (Lf )(x) = 0 e xy f (y)dy L(f +g) = 0 e xy (f +g)(y)dy = 0 e xy [f (y)+g(y)]dy = 0 e xy f (y)dy + 0 e xy g(y)dy = L(f ) + L(g) L(rf ) = 0 e xy (rf )(y)dy = 0 e xy rf (y)dy = r 0 e xy f (y)dy = rl(f )

17 Properties of linear mappings If a linear mapping L : V W is invertible then the inverse mapping L 1 : W V is also linear. If L : V W and M : W X are linear mappings then the composition M L : V X is also linear. If L 1 : V W and L 2 : W X are linear mappings then the sum L 1 + L 2 is also linear.

18 Range and kernel Let V, W be vector spaces and L : V W, be a linear mapping. Definition. The range (or image) of L is the set of all vectors w W such that w = L(v) for some v V. The range of L is denoted by L(V) The kernel of L, denoted by ker(l) is the set of all vectors v V such that L(v) = 0.

19 Example 8.1 Consider the linear tranformation, L : R 3 R 3, given by x x L y = y = AX z z Find ker(l) and range of L Solution The kernel, ker(l), is the nullspace of the matrix A. To find ker(l), we apply row reduction to the matrix A:

20 Hence (x, y, z) belongs to ker(l) if x z = y = 0. It follows that ker(l) is the line spanned by (1, 0, 1) Since L is given by L x y z = x y z then, The range of L, is spanned by vectors (1, 1, 1), (0, 2, 0), and ( 1, 1, 1). It follows that L(R 3 ) is the plane spanned by (1, 1, 1), (0, 2, 0).

21 Example 8.2 Consider the linear tranformation, L : C (R) 3 C (R), given by L(u) = u 2u + u. Find range and ker(l) of L Solution According to the theory of differential equations, the initial value problem u(x) 2u(x) +u(x) = g(x); u(x 0 ) = u 0 ; u (x 0 ) = u 0; u (x 0 ) = u 0 has a unique solution for any g C (R) and any u 0, u 0, u 0. It Follows that L(C(R) 3 ) = C(R)

22 Also, the initial data evaluation l(u) = u (u 0, u 0, u 0 ) which is a linear mapping l(u) : C(R) R 3, becomes invertible when restricted to ker(l). Hence dim (ker(l)) = 3 Now, the functions xe x, e x, 1 satisfy L(xe x ) = L(e x ) = L(1) = 0 and W (xe x, e x, 1) 0. Therefore, ker(l) = Span(xe x, e x, 1) General linear equations Definition. A linear equation is an equation of the form L(x) = b where L : V W, is a linear mapping, b is a given vector from W, and x is an unknown vector from V.

23 The range of L is the set of all vectors b W such that the equation L(x) = b has a solution. The kernel of L is the solution set of the homogeneous linear equation L(x) = 0. Theorem If the linear equation L(x) = b is solvable and dim (ker(l)) <, then the general solution is x 0 + t 1 v t k v k where x 0 is a particular solution, v 1,, v k is a basis for the ker(l), and t 1,, t k are arbitrary scalars.

24 Example 8.3 Consider the linear equation. { x + y + z = 4 x + 2y = 3 Find its solution. Solution L : R 3 R 2 ; L x y z = ( ) x y z

25 the linear equation is L(x) = b with b = ( 4 3 Using row reduction with the augmented matrix ( ) ( ) ( ) { { x + 2z = 5 x = 2z + 5 y z = 1 y = z 1 (x, y, z) = (5 2t, 1 + t, t) = (5, 1, 0) + t( 2, 1, 1) )

26 Example 8.4 Consider the linear equation. u (x) 2u (x) + u (x) = e 2x Find its solution. Solution Linear operator L : C (R) 3 C (R), given by L(u) = u 2u + u Linear equation L(u) = b where b(x) = e 2x

27 We already know that functions xe x, e x, 1 form a basis for the kernel of L. It remains to find a particular solution. But, since L is a linear operator, L( 1 2 e2x ) = e 2x. Thus, the particular solution is u 0 = 1 2 e2x and the general solution is u(x) = c 1 xe x + c 2 e x + c e2x

28 Matrix transformations. Matrix of a linear transformation. Similar matrices. Matrix transformations Any m n matrix A gives rise to a transformation L : R n R m, given by Ax = b. where x R n and L(x) R m are regarded as column vectors. This transformation is linear. Thus, for instance L x y z = Let L(e 1 ) = (1, 3, 0), L(e 2 ) = (0, 4, 5), L(e 3 ) = (2, 7, 8). Thus, L(e 1 ), L(e 2 ), L(e 3 ) are columns of the matrix A. x y z
