2 9 CHAPTER 6 LINEAR TRANSFORMATION Recall, from calculus courses, a funtion f : X Y from a set X to a set Y associates to each x X a unique element f(x) Y Following is some commonly used terminologies: X is called the domain of f Y is called the codomain of f If f(x) = y, then we say y is the image of x The preimage of y is preimage(y) = {x X : f(x) = y} 4 The range of f is the set of images of elements in X In this section we deal with functions from a vector sapce V to another vector space W, that respect the vector space structures Such a function will be called a linear transformation, defined as follows Definition 6 Let V and W be two vector spaces A function T : V W is called a linear transformation of V into W, if following two prperties are true for all u,v V and scalars c T(u+v) = T(u)+T(v) (We say that T preserves additivity) T(cu) = ct(u) (We say that T preserves scalar multiplication) Reading assignment Read Textbook, Examples -, p 6- Trivial Examples: Following are two easy exampes

3 6 INTRO TO LINEAR TRANSFORMATION 9 Let V,W be two vector spaces Define T : V W as T(v) = for all v V Then T is a linear transformation, to be called the zero transformation Let V be a vector space Define T : V V as T(v) = v for all v V Then T is a linear transformation, to be called the identity transformation of V 6 Properties of linear transformations Theorem 6 Let V and W be two vector spaces Suppose T : V W is a linear transformation Then T() = T( v) = T(v) for all v V T(u v) = T(u) T(v) for all u,v V 4 If v = c v + c v + + c n v n then T(v) = T (c v + c v + + c n v n ) = c T (v )+c T (v )+ +c n T (v n ) Proof By property () of the definition 6, we have T() = T() = T() =

4 9 CHAPTER 6 LINEAR TRANSFORMATION So, () is proved Similarly, T( v) = T(( )v) = ( )T(v) = T(v) So, () is proved Then, by property () of the definition 6, we have T(u v) = T(u + ( )v) = T(u) + T(( )v) = T(u) T(v) The last equality follows from () So, () is proved To prove (4), we use induction, on n For n = : we have T(c v ) = c T(v ), by property () of the definition 6 For n =, by the two properties of definition 6, we have T(c v + c v ) = T(c v ) + T(c v ) = c T(v ) + c T(v ) So, (4) is prove for n = Now, we assume that the formula (4) is valid for n vectors and prove it for n We have T (c v + c v + + c n v n ) = T (c v + c v + + c n v n )+T (c n v n ) = (c T (v ) + c T (v ) + + c n T (v n )) + c n T(v n ) So, the proof is complete 6 Linear transformations given by matrices Theorem 6 Suppose A is a matrix of size m n Given a vector v = v v Rn define T(v) = Av = A v v v n v n Then T is a linear transformation from R n to R m

5 6 INTRO TO LINEAR TRANSFORMATION 9 Proof From properties of matrix multiplication, for u,v R n and scalar c we have and T(u + v) = A(u + v) = A(u) + A(v) = T(u) + T(v) The proof is complete T(cu) = A(cu) = cau = ct(u) Remark Most (or all) of our examples of linear transformations come from matrices, as in this theorem Reading assignment Read Textbook, Examples -, p 65-6 Projections along a vector in R n Projections in R n is a good class of examples of linear transformations We define projection along a vector Recall the definition 56 of orthogonal projection, in the context of Euclidean spaces R n Definition 64 Suppose v R n is a vector Then, for u R n define proj v (u) = v u v v Then proj v : R n R n is a linear transformation Proof This is because, for another vector w R n and a scalar c, it is easy to check proj v (u+w) = proj v (u)+proj v (w) and proj v (cu) = c (proj v (u)) The point of such projections is that any vector u R n can be written uniquely as a sum of a vector along v and another one perpendicular to v: u = proj v (u) + (u proj v (u))

6 94 CHAPTER 6 LINEAR TRANSFORMATION It is easy to check that (u proj v (u)) proj v (u) Exercise 65 (Ex 4, p 7) Let T(v,v,v ) = (v + v, v v,v v ) Compute T( 4, 5, ) Solution: T( 4, 5, ) = ( ( 4)+5, 5 ( 4), 4 ) = (,, 5) Compute the preimage of w = (4,, ) Solution: Suppose (v,v,v ) is in the preimage of (4,, ) Then (v + v, v v,v v ) = (4,, ) So, v +v = 4 v v = v v = The augmented matrix of this system is 4 its Gauss Jordan f orm So, Preimage((4,, )) = {(574, 8574, 574)}

Solution: We have T((x,y) + (z,w)) = T(x + z,y + w) = ((x + z),y + w) (x,y) + (z,w) = T(x,y) + T(z,w) So, T does not preserve additivity So, T is not linear Alternately, you could check that T does not preserve scalar multiplication Alternately, you could check this failure(s), numerically For example, T((, ) + (, )) = T(, ) = (9, ) T(, ) + T(, ) Exercise 67 (Ex 4, p 7) Let T : R R be a linear transformation such that T(,, ) = (, 4, ), T(,, ) = (,, ), T(,, ) = (,, ) Compute T(, 4, ) Solution: We have (, 4, ) = (,, ) + 4(,, ) (,, ) So, T(, 4, ) = T(,, )+4T(,, ) T(,, ) = (, 4, )+(,, )+(,, ) = (, 5, ) Remark A linear transformation T : V V can be defined, simply by assigning values T(v i ) for any basis {v,v,,v n } of V In this case of the our problem, values were assigned for the standard basis {e,e,e } of R

11 6 KERNEL AND RANGE OF LINEAR TRANSFORMATION99 6 Kernel and Range of linear Transformation We will essentially, skip this section Before we do that, let us give a few definitions Definition 6 Let V,W be two vector spaces and T : V W a linear transformation Then the kernel of T, denoted by ker(t), is the set of v V such that T(v) = Notationally, ker(t) = {v V : T(v) = } It is easy to see the ker(t) is a subspace of V Recall, range of T, denoted by range(t), is given by range(t) = {v W : w = T(v) for some v V } It is easy to see the range(t) is a subspace of W We say the T is isomorphism, if T is one-to-one and onto It follows, that T is an isomorphism if ker(t) = {} and range(t) = W

13 6 MATRICES FOR LINEAR TRANSFORMATIONS These columns T(e ),T(e ),T(e n ) form a m n matrix A as follows, a a a n A = a a a n a m a m a mn This matrix A has the property that T(v) = Av for all v R n This matrix A is called the standard matrix of T Proof We can write v R n as v v = v = v e + v e + + v n e n v n We have, Av = a a a n a a a n a m a m a mn v v v n = v a a a m +v a a a m + +v n = v T (e )+v T (e )+ +v n T (e n ) = T (v e + v e + + v n e n ) = T(v) The proof is complete Reading assignment: Read Textbook, Examples,; page 89-9 In our context of linear transformations, we recall the following definition of composition of functions Definition 6 Let a n a n a mn T : R n R m, T : R m R p

14 CHAPTER 6 LINEAR TRANSFORMATION be two linear transformations Define the composition T : R n R p of T with T as T(v) = T (T (v)) for v R n The composition T is denoted by T = T ot Diagramatically, R n T R m T=T ot T R p Theorem 6 Suppose T : R n R m, T : R m R p are two linear transformations Then, the composition T = T ot : R n R p is a linear transformation Suppose A is the standard matrix of T and A is the standard matrix of T Then, the standard matrix of the composition T = T ot is the product A = A A Proof For u,v R n and scalars c, we have T(u+v) = T (T (u+v)) = T (T (u)+t v)) = T (T (u))+t T (v)) = T(u)+T(v) and T(cu) = T (T (cu)) = T (ct (u)) = ct (T (u)) = ct(u) So, T preserves addition and scalar multiplication Therefore T is a linear transformation and () is proved To prove (), we have T(u) = T (T (u)) = T (A u) = A (A u) = (A A )u

15 6 MATRICES FOR LINEAR TRANSFORMATIONS Therefore T(e ) is the first column of A A, T(e ) is the second column of A A, and so on Therefore, the standard matrix of T is A A The proof is complete Reading assignment: Read Textbook, Examples ; page 9 Definition 64 Let T : R n R n, T : R n R n be two linear transformations such that for every v R n we have T (T (v)) = v and T (T (v)) = v, then we say that T is the inverse of T, and we say that T is invertible Such an inverse T of T is unique and is denoted by T (Remark Let End(R n ) denote the set of all linear transformations T : R n R n Then End(R n ) has a binary operation by composition The identity operation I : R n R n acts as the identitiy under this composition operation The definition of inverse of T above, just corresponds to the inverse under this composition operation) Theorem 65 Let T : R n R n be a linear transformations and let A be the standard matrix of T Then, the following are equivalent, T is invertible T is an isomorphism A is invertible And, if T is invertible, then the standard matrix of T is A

16 4 CHAPTER 6 LINEAR TRANSFORMATION Proof (First, recall definition 6, that T is isomorphism if T is to and onto) (Proof of () () :) Suppose T is invertible and T be the inverse Suppose T(u) = T(v) Then, u = T (T(u)) = T (T(v)) = v So, T is to Also, given u R n we have So, T is an isomorphism u = T(T (u)) So, T onto R n (Proof of () () :) So, assume T is an isomorphism Then, Ax = T(x) = T() x = So, Ax = has an unique solution Therefore A is invertible and () follows from () (Proof of () () :) Suppose A is invertible Let T (x) = A x, then T is a linear transformation and it is easily checked that T is the inverse of T So, () follows from () The proof is complete Reading assignment: Read Textbook, Examples 4; page 9 6 Nonstandard bases and general vector spaces The above discussion about (standard) matrices of linear transformations T had to be restricted to linear transformations T : R n R m This wa sbecause R n has a standard basis {e,e,,e n, } that we could use Suppose T : V W is a linear transformation between two abstract vector spaces V,W Since V and W has no standard bases, we cannot associate a matrix to T But, if we fix a basis B of V and B of W we can associate a matrix to T We do it as follows

17 6 MATRICES FOR LINEAR TRANSFORMATIONS 5 Theorem 66 Suppose T : V W is a linear transformation between two vector spaces V,W Let B = {v,v,,v n } be basis of V and B = {w,w,,w m } be basis of w We can write T(v ) = w w w m a a a m Writing similar equations for T(v ),,T(v n ), we get T(v ) T(v ) T(v n ) = w w w m a a a n a a a n a m a m a mn Then, for v = x v + x v + + x n v n, We have a a a n T(v) = w w w m a a a n a m a m a mn Write A = a ij Then, T is determined by A, with respect to bases B,B x x x n Exercise 67 (Ex 6, p 97) Let T(x,y,z) = (5x y + z, z + 4y, 5x + y)
