Suppose the third column of Bis the sum of the first two columns. What can you say about the third column of AB? Why?
In Exercises 27 and 28, view vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)as\(n \times 1\)matrices. For \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) and \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), the matrix product \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}v\) is a \(1 \times 1\) matrix, called the scalar product, or inner product, of u and v. It is usually written as a single real number without brackets. The matrix product \({{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) is a \(n \times n\) matrix, called the outer product of u and v. The products \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) and \({{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) will appear later in the text.
28. If u and v are in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), how are \({{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) and \({{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} ^T}{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) related? How are \({{\mathop{\rm uv}\nolimits} ^T}\) and \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} {{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} ^T}\) related?
Suppose \(CA = {I_n}\)(the \(n \times n\) identity matrix). Show that the equation \(Ax = 0\) has only the trivial solution. Explain why Acannot have more columns than rows.
Suppose \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\) is invertible. Find \(X\) and \(Y\) such that
\[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{A_{{\bf{11}}}}}&{{A_{{\bf{12}}}}}\\{{A_{{\bf{21}}}}}&{{A_{{\bf{22}}}}}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}I&{\bf{0}}\\X&I\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{A_{{\bf{11}}}}}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&S\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}I&Y\\{\bf{0}}&I\end{array}} \right]\]
Where \(S = {A_{{\bf{22}}}} - {A_{21}}A_{{\bf{11}}}^{ - {\bf{1}}}{A_{{\bf{12}}}}\). The matrix \(S\) is called the Schur complement of \({A_{{\bf{11}}}}\). Likewise, if \({A_{{\bf{22}}}}\) is invertible, the matrix \({A_{{\bf{11}}}} - {A_{{\bf{12}}}}A_{{\bf{22}}}^{ - {\bf{1}}}{A_{{\bf{21}}}}\) is called the Schur complement of \({A_{{\bf{22}}}}\). Such expressions occur frequently in the theory of systems engineering, and elsewhere.
In Exercises 1–9, assume that the matrices are partitioned conformably for block multiplication. Compute the products shown in Exercises 1–4.
2. \[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}E&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&F\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}A&B\\C&D\end{array}} \right]\]
