Linear Algebra Done Right Chapter 1.C#3

Chapter 1.C Subspaces 子空间

这一主要讨论的子空间相关的内容,涉及子空间的定义和判定、子空间的和是最小的包含子空间以及直和。

1.32 Definition subspace 子空间定义

A subset U of V is called a subspace of V if U is also a vector space(using the same addition and scalar multiplication as on V )

U作为V的子空间自然也满足在V中的加法和乘法 eg1.33

1.34 Conditions for a subspace 满足子空间的条件

A subset U of V is a subspace of V if and only if U satisfies the following three conditions:

  • additive identity : 0 ∈ U
  • closed under addition : u,w U implies u+v U
  • closed under scalar multiplication:a F and u U implies au U

The other parts of the definition of a vector space, such as associativity and commutativity, are automatically satisfied for U because they hold on the larger space V .

此处证明三个条件非常简单,这里只用满足三个条件便可以证明子空间,至于U中的其他性质,因为U是V的子空间,而V中已经证明过相关性质,所以U自然也满足

作者在这里举了一些例子,其中包含一些函数子空间的例子,作者在这里强调了微积分部分的线性结构,本质上就是泛函分析,感兴趣可以去原书eg1.35看。

Sums of Subspaces 子空间的和

1.36 Definition sum of subsets 子空间的和的定义

Suppose U₁ ,..., Uₘ are subsets of V . The sum of U₁ ,..., Uₘ , denoteed U₁ +···+ Uₘ , is the set of all possible sums of elements of U₁ ,..., Uₘ . More precisely, U₁ +···+ Uₘ = { u₁ +···+ uₘ : u₁ U₁ ,..., uₘ Uₘ }.

eg1.37很好理解,eg1.38或许有些难理解,这里解释一下:
U = {x,x,y,y F⁴ :x,y F⁴ }, W = {x,x,x,y F⁴ :x,y F⁴ }
这里的 U+W 是如何等于(x,x,y,z)的呢,按正常计算,U+W 应该是(2x,2x,x+y,2y),在这里令x'=2x,y'=x+y,z'=2y,就可以得出(x',x',y',z')了,书上并没有这个过程,所有读者可能有点疑惑。

1.39 Sum of subspaces is the smallest containing subspace 子空间的和是最小的包含子空间

Suppose U₁ ,..., Uₘ are subspaces of V . Then U₁ +···+ Uₘ is the smallest subspace of V containing U₁ ,..., Uₘ .

这里要证明的有三点,一是子空间,二是有包含关系,三是最小。要证子空间很简单,只要满足上面的三个条件即可。令 uⱼ Uⱼ , wⱼ Uⱼ , 那么 u₁ +···+ uₘ U₁ +···+ Uₘ , w₁ +···+ wₘ U₁ +···+ Uₘ , 所以( u₁ +···+ uₘ ) + ( w₁ +···+ wₘ )=( u₁ + w₁ )+···+( uₘ + wₘ ) ∈ U₁ +···+ Uₘ , 由此证加法封闭,乘法证法相同;0 ∈ uⱼ ,则0 +···+ 0 = 0 ∈ U₁ +···+ Uₘ ,由此加法元也证得,因此满足子空间条件。

要证包含,只需证( U₁ ∪···∪ Uₘ )⊂ U₁ +···+ Uₘ ,只需证( U₁ +···+ Uₘ ) ⊃ U₁ 且···且 ( U₁ +···+ Uₘ ) ⊃ Uₘ ,而这是显然的,由此包含关系证得。

要证最小,书上是这样证明的:

Conversely, every subspace of V containing U₁ ,..., Uₘ contains U₁ +···+ Uₘ (because subspaces must contain all finite sums of their elements)

这里可以用数轴的概念来辅助理解,在一条数轴上的[0,1]区间,0是最小元素只需证明0在∀ x ∈ [0,1]的条件下都满足0 ≦ x , 类比到这里就是∀ V U₁ ∪···∪ Uₘ ,证 V U₁ +···+ Uₘ U₁ ∪···∪ Uₘ ,我们可以知道 U₁ ,..., Uₘ V ,再由 V 是一个子空间可以推出 U₁ +···+ Uₘ V 从而得出 U₁ +···+ Uₘ V

Direct Sums 直和

1.40 Definition direct sum 直和的定义

Suppose U₁ ,..., Uₘ are subspaces of V .

  • The sum U₁ +···+ Uₘ is called a direct sum if each element of U₁ +···+ Uₘ can be written in only one way as a sum u₁ +···+ uₘ , where each uⱼ is in Uⱼ .
  • If U₁ +···+ Uₘ is a direct sum, then U₁ ⊕···⊕ Uₘ denotes U₁ +···+ Uₘ , with the ⊕ notation serving as an indication that this is a direct sum.

简单来说,直和的意思就是 U₁ +···+ Uₘ 中的元素只能由属于 Uⱼ 的元素 uⱼ 来以 u₁ +···+ uₘ 的形式表示,并且这种表示方式只有一种。eg1.41 eg1.42 eg1.43

如果每次都要用这种方式来判断直和的话就会变得非常麻烦,所以这里就有一种更加简单的判断直和的方式。

1.44 Condition for a direct sum 满足直和的条件

Suppose U₁ +···+ Uₘ are subspaces of V . Then U₁ +···+ Uₘ is a direct sum if and only if the only way to write 0 as a sum u₁ +···+ uₘ , where each uⱼ is in Uⱼ , is by taking each uⱼ equal to 0.

既然判断直和的办法是判断 U₁ +···+ Uₘ 中的元素只能由 u₁ +···+ uₘ 得出,并且只要是子空间就有加法元0存在,那么只用判断 U₁ +···+ Uₘ 中的加法元0只能由 u₁ +···+ uₘ 得出,并且每个 uⱼ 的值只能为0。

证明如下:

Suppose U₁ +···+ Uₘ is a direct sum.

Now suppose that the only way to write 0 as a sum u₁ +···+ uₘ , where each uⱼ is in Uⱼ , is by taking each uⱼ equal to 0. To show that U₁ +···+ Uₘ is a direct sum, let v U₁ +···+ Uₘ . We can write

v = u₁ +···+ uₘ

for some u₁ U₁ ,..., uₘ Uₘ . To show that this representation is unique, suppose we also have

v = v₁ +···+ vₘ ,

where v₁ U₁ ,..., vₘ Uₘ . Subtracting these two equations, we have
0 = ( u₁ - v₁ )+···+( uₘ - vₘ ).

Because u₁ - v₁ U₁ ,..., uₘ - vₘ Uₘ , the equation above implies that each uⱼ - vⱼ equals 0. Thus u₁ = v₁ ,..., uₘ = vₘ , as desired.

1.45 Direct sum of two subspaces 两个子空间的直和

Suppose U and W are subspaces of V . Then U + W is a direct sum if and only if U W = {0}.

证明如下:

First suppose that U + W is a direct sum. If v U W , then 0 = v + ( -v ), where v U and -v W . By the unique representation of 0 as the sum of a vector in U and a vector in W , we have v = 0. Thus U W = {0}, completing the proof in one direction.

To prove the other direction, now suppose U W = {0}. To prove that U + W is a direct sum, suppose u U , w W and

0 = u + w

To complete the proof, we need only show that u = w (by 1.44). The equation above implies that u = -w W . Thus u U W . Hence u = 0, which by the equation above implies that w = 0, completing the proof.
