This assignment involves analyzing linear transformations and mappings between vector spaces, specifically from R4 to R3, R3 to R2, from spaces of differentiable functions, matrices, and bases, determining linearity, finding bases for kernels and images, and exploring properties of linear transformations.

Paper For Above instruction

In this paper, we analyze the properties and characteristics of various linear transformations within different vector spaces, drawing from the given problems to demonstrate key concepts in linear algebra. We will explore the linearity of specific maps, determine their matrix representations, bases for kernels and images, and critically evaluate statements related to the invertibility, composition, and dimensions concerning linear transformations.

Analysis of Linear Transformation L from R4 to R3

The linear map L : R4 → R3 is defined by:

L([x₁ x₂ x₃ x₄]T) = [(x₁ + 2x₂ - x₄), (-2x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃), (x₂ - 5x₃ + 6x₄)]T

To demonstrate L is a linear transformation, we verify the properties of additivity and scalar multiplication. For any vectors u and v in R4 and scalar c, the following linearity conditions hold due to the structure of the map, which combines sums and scalar multiples linearly. Each component is a linear combination of the input variables, thus satisfying linearity. Consequently, L is linear.

Matrix Representation of L

Expressing L in matrix form involves writing the images of the standard basis vectors of R4. The matrix A representing L with respect to the standard bases is constructed by applying L to each basis vector:

L([1 0 0 0]T) = [(1), (-2), (0)]


L([0 1 0 0]T) = [(2), (3), (1)]


L([0 0 1 0]T) = [(0), (1), (-5)]


L([0 0 0 1]T) = [(-1), (0), (6)]

Therefore, the matrix A is:

A = \begin{bmatrix}


1 & 2 & 0 & -1 \\


-2 & 3 & 1 & 0 \\


0 & 1 & -5 & 6 \\


\end{bmatrix}

Basis for ker(L) and its dimension

Finding the kernel of L involves solving A x = 0. Performing row operations reveals the free variables and the null space basis vectors. Solving yields a basis for ker(L), which characterizes all vectors mapped to the zero vector. The dimension of ker(L) reflects the nullity, calculated as n - rank(A).

Basis for im(L) and its dimension

The image of L is spanned by the column vectors of A. A basis for im(L) consists of the pivot columns of A after row reduction, with the dimension equal to the rank of A. This confirms the image’s dimension and structural properties.

Linearity of Maps from R3 to R2

Next, we investigate whether the given maps L: R3 → R2 are linear by verifying the properties for additivity and scalar multiplication, considering each case separately.

Map 1: L([x₁ x₂ x₃])T = [(x₁)^2 + 2x₂, -x₁x₃]

This map involves quadratic and product terms, which are not linear functions. For a map to be linear, the combination of inputs must be linear expressions. The presence of quadratic and mixed terms violates this property, so L is not linear.

Map 2: L([x₁ x₂ x₃])T = [3x₁ - 2x₂, 2x₂ + x₃ + 1]

This map is linear, as each component is a linear combination of the inputs, and the constant term is zero (thus satisfying linearity). Therefore, L is a linear transformation.

Map 3: L([x₁ x₂ x₃])T = [5x₂ + 4x₃, x₁ - 6x₂ - x₃]

Similarly, this map involves only linear combinations of variables without any constant term or nonlinear terms, confirming its linearity.

Map 4: L([x₁ x₂ x₃])T = [sin²(x₁) + cos²(x₁) + 7x₂ - 1, 3x₃ + e0 + sin(Ï€)]

This map involves nonlinear functions like sin²(x₁), cos²(x₁), and sin(Ï€), which violate linearity. It is not linear.

Linearity of maps from C1[a, b]

Functions from the space C1[a, b], the space of differentiable functions, are linear under operations such as integration and function evaluation provided the operation respects addition and scalar multiplication.

Map 1: L(f) = 3 ∫₁¹² f(x) dx

This is a linear functional as integration is linear; thus, L is linear.

Map 2: L(f) = f(5) + 2f(3) - f(1)

This is a linear combination of function evaluations; hence, it preserves addition and scalar multiplication, making L linear.

Map 3: L(f)(x) = f(x) · sin(x) - 2f(x) ex

This map involves pointwise multiplication with sin(x) and ex, which are functions of x but not of the function f extended linearly. Since the operation is multiplication of f by a fixed function, it is linear in f, making L linear.

Map 4: L(f) = ∫₁² f2(x) dx

Since squaring f(x) introduces a nonlinear operation, this map is not linear.

Linear transformations from matrix spaces M2×2(R)

Functions involving matrix determinants, trace, and matrix operations are examined for linearity.

Map 1: L(A) = Det(A)

The determinant is a polynomial of degree 2 in entries; thus, not linear.

Map 2: L(A) = Tr(A)

The trace is a sum of diagonal entries, which is a linear function of matrix entries, so L is linear.

Map 3: L(A) = 2A - 3AT

Matrix subtraction and scalar multiplication are linear operations; addition is linear. Sum of linear maps is linear, so L is linear.

Map 4: L(A) = 2*A + A2

Since A2 involves matrix multiplication, which is not linear in A, this map is nonlinear.

Change of basis matrices in R3

Given bases S1, S2, S3 and their transition matrices, the computation of new transition matrices involves matrix multiplication of the known matrices, reflecting changes of basis.

  • S2 TS1
  • S2 TS3
  • S3 TS1
  • S2 TS1 S1 TS3 S3 TS2

Each involves regular matrix multiplication as per change of basis formulas.

Theoretical statements about linear transformations

Various properties of linear transformations are assessed:

  • Rank and invertibility: If a linear transformation L : R3 → R3 has rank 3, it is invertible because full rank implies an invertible matrix.
  • Composition of linear maps: The composition of two linear transformations is linear, as the composition preserves linearity.
  • Dimension equalities: For a linear L : V → W, the relation dim(ker(L)) + dim(im(L)) = dim(V) holds (Rank-Nullity theorem). It does not necessarily equal m unless specific structures exist.

These properties follow fundamental theorems of linear algebra concerning transformations, ranks, and dimensions.

Conclusion

This analysis encompasses verifying linearity, constructing matrix representations, analyzing bases, and evaluating properties of linear transformations across various contexts. It demonstrates the fundamental principles of linear algebra, including the critical theorems concerning kernels, images, invertibility, and composition.
