Tutorial sheet2 (vector space and matrices)

Q1. Which of the following statements about linear vector spaces are true? Where a statement is false, give a counter-example to demonstrate this.
(a) Non-singular N N matrices form a vector space of dimension N 2 (b) Singular N N matrices form a vector space of dimension N 2

(c) Complex numbers form a vector space of dimension 2.


(d) Polynomial functions of (e) Series

dimensional vector space. (f) Absolutely convergent series form an infinite dimensional vector space. (g)Convergent series with terms of alternating sign form an infinitedimensional vector space. Q2. Using the properties of determinants, solve with a minimum of calculations the following equation for x :
x a x b b a b x c 1 1 1 1 =0 a a a
x +2 x +3 x 2 x +4 x x 1 x 3 x +5 = 0 x +1

(a)

(b)

Q3. The four matrices S x , S y , S z , l are defined by


0 Sx = 1 1 Sz = 0 1 0 0 1 0 Sy = i 1 I = 0 i 0 0 1

2 Where i 2 = 1 , show that S x = 1 and S x S y = iS z , and obtain similar results by permuting x, y and z . Given that v is a vector with Cartesian components ( v x , v y , v z ), the matrix S(v) is defined as

S(v)= v x S x + v y S y + v z S z

Prove that , for general nonzero vectors a and b S(a)S(b)=a.b I + i S(a b) Without further calculation, deduce that S(a) and S(b) commute if and only if a and b are parallel vectors. Q4. Determine which of the matrices below are mutually commuting, and for those that are, demonstrate that they have a complete set of eigenfunctions in common:
6 A = 2 9 C = 10 2 9 10 5 1 B = 8 8 11 2 11

14 D = 2

Verify that its eigenvectors are mutually orthogonal. Q6. Check whether the following set of linear equations have a unique solution, infinite many solution or no solution. If the solution exists solve these equations by the (a) Cramer Rule (b) direct inversion method (c) reducing the augmented matrix to its echelon form (d) LU decomposition method
2 x + 4 y +3 z = 4 x 2 y 2 z + 0 3 x +3 y + 2 z = 7 2 x +3 y + z =11 x + y +z =6 5 x y +10 z = 34 x + 2 y + 3 z =1 3x + 4 y +5 z = 2 x +3 y + 4 z = 3
