Chapter 4: Q8SE (page 191)
Let H be an n-dimensional subspace of an n-dimensional vector space V. Explain why \(H = V\).
Short Answer
H is a subspace of V, and B is also in V. As B is a linearly independent set in V, B must also be a basis for V.

17. A submatrix of a matrix A is any matrix that results from deleting some (or no) rows and/or columns of A. It can be shown that A has rank \(r\) if and only if A contains an invertible \(r \times r\) submatrix and no longer square submatrix is invertible. Demonstrate part of this statement by explaining (a) why an \(m \times n\) matrix A of rank \(r\) has an \(m \times r\) submatrix \({A_1}\) of rank \(r\), and (b) why \({A_1}\) has an invertible \(r \times r\) submatrix \({A_2}\).
The concept of rank plays an important role in the design of engineering control systems, such as the space shuttle system mentioned in this chapter’s introductory example. A state-space model of a control system includes a difference equation of the form
\({{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _{k + 1}} = A{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _k} + B{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _k}\)for \(k = 0,1,....\) (1)
Where \(A\) is \(n \times n\), \(B\) is \(n \times m\), \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} _k}} \right\}\) is a sequence of “state vectors” in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) that describe the state of the system at discrete times, and \(\left\{ {{{\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} _k}} \right\}\) is a control, or input, sequence. The pair \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) is said to be controllable if
\({\mathop{\rm rank}\nolimits} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}B&{AB}&{{A^2}B}& \cdots &{{A^{n - 1}}B}\end{array}} \right) = n\) (2)
The matrix that appears in (2) is called the controllability matrix for the system. If \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) is controllable, then the system can be controlled, or driven from the state 0 to any specified state \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \) (in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)) in at most \(n\) steps, simply by choosing an appropriate control sequence in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\). This fact is illustrated in Exercise 18 for \(n = 4\) and \(m = 2\). For a further discussion of controllability, see this text’s website (Case study for Chapter 4).
(M) Show thatis a linearly independent set of functions defined on. Use the method of Exercise 37. (This result will be needed in Exercise 34 in Section 4.5.)
Question: Determine if the matrix pairs in Exercises 19-22 are controllable.
22. (M) \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0&1&0&0\\0&0&1&0\\0&0&0&1\\{ - 1}&{ - 13}&{ - 12.2}&{ - 1.5}\end{array}} \right),B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\0\\0\\{ - 1}\end{array}} \right)\).
What would you have to know about the solution set of a homogenous system of 18 linear equations 20 variables in order to understand that every associated nonhomogenous equation has a solution? Discuss.
In Exercise 6, find the coordinate vector of x relative to the given basis \({\rm B} = \left\{ {{b_{\bf{1}}},...,{b_n}} \right\}\).
6. \({b_{\bf{1}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{2}}}\end{array}} \right),{b_{\bf{2}}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}\\{ - {\bf{6}}}\end{array}} \right),x = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right)\)
