Linear Algebra Review*CS479/679 Pattern Recognition Dr. George Bebis
n-dimensional VectorAn n-dimensional vector v is denoted as follows:
The transpose vT is denoted as follows:
Inner (or dot) productGiven vT = (x1, x2, . . . , xn) and wT = (y1, y2, . . . , yn), their dot product defined as follows:
or(scalar)
Orthogonal / Orthonormal vectorsA set of vectors x1, x2, . . . , xn is orthogonal if
A set of vectors x1, x2, . . . , xn is orthonormal if
Linear combinationsA vector v is a linear combination of the vectors v1, ..., vk if:
where c1, ..., ck are constants.
Example: vectors in R3 can be expressed as a linear combinations of unit vectors i = (1, 0, 0), j = (0, 1, 0), and k = (0, 0, 1)
Space spanningA set of vectors S=(v1, v2, . . . , vk ) span some space W if every vector in W can be written as a linear combination of the vectors in S
- The unit vectors i, j, and k span R3
w
Linear dependenceA set of vectors v1, ..., vk are linearly dependent if at least one of them is a linear combination of the others.
(i.e., vj does not appear on the right side)
Linear independenceA set of vectors v1, ..., vk is linearly independent if no vector can be represented as a linear combination of the remaining vectors, i.e.:
Example:
Vector basisA set of vectors (v1, ..., vk) forms a basis in some vector space W if:(1) (v1, ..., vk) are linearly independent(2) (v1, ..., vk) span W

Matrix InverseThe inverse A-1 of a matrix A has the property: AA-1=A-1A=I
A-1 exists only if
TerminologySingular matrix: A-1 does not existIll-conditioned matrix: A is close to being singular
Matrix Inverse (contd)Properties of the inverse:
Matrix traceProperties:
Rank of matrixEqual to the dimension of the largest square sub-matrix of A that has a non-zero determinant.
Example:
has rank 3
Rank of matrix (contd)Alternative definition: the maximum number of linearly independent columns (or rows) of A.
i.e., rank is not 4!Example:
Rank of matrix (contd)
Eigenvalues and EigenvectorsThe vector v is an eigenvector of matrix A and is an eigenvalue of A if:
i.e., the linear transformation implied by A cannot change the direction of the eigenvectors v, only their magnitude.
(assume non-zero v)
Computing and vTo find the eigenvalues of a matrix A, find the roots of the characteristic polynomial:
Example:
PropertiesEigenvalues and eigenvectors are only defined for square matrices (i.e., m = n)Eigenvectors are not unique (e.g., if v is an eigenvector, so is kv)Suppose 1, 2, ..., n are the eigenvalues of A, then:
Matrix diagonalizationGiven an n x n matrix A, find P such that: P-1AP= where is diagonal
Take P = [v1 v2 . . . vn], where v1,v2 ,. . . vn are the eigenvectors of A:
Matrix diagonalization (contd)Example:
Only if P-1 exists (i.e., P must have n linearly independent eigenvectors, that is, rank(P)=n)
If A is diagonalizable, then the corresponding eigenvectors v1,v2 ,. . . vn form a basis in Rn
Are all n x n matrices diagonalizable P-1AP ?
Matrix decompositionLet us assume that A is diagonalizable, then A can be decomposed as follows:
Special case: symmetric matrices
The eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix are real and its eigenvectors are orthogonal.P-1=PTA=PDPT=
