Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

Basis(V, options)

IntersectionBasis(VS, options)

SumBasis(VS, options)

Parameters

V

-

Vector, list of Vectors, or set of Vectors

VS

-

list whose elements represent vector spaces; each list element is a Vector or a list or set of Vectors whose span represents the vector space

options

-

(optional) parameters; for a complete list, see LinearAlgebra[Basis]

Description

• 

The Basis(V) command returns a list or set of Vectors that forms a basis for the vector space spanned by the original Vectors, in terms of the original Vectors.  A basis for the 0-dimensional space is an empty list or set.

  

If V is a list of Vectors, the Basis(V) command returns a list of Vectors.  If V is a single Vector or a set of Vectors, a set of Vectors is returned.

• 

The IntersectionBasis(VS) command returns a list or set of Vectors that forms a basis for the intersection of the vector spaces defined by the Vector in each list element of VS.  IntersectionBasis([]) returns the empty set.

  

If all the elements of VS are lists of Vectors, the IntersectionBasis(V) command returns a list of Vectors.  Otherwise, a set of Vectors is returned.

• 

The SumBasis(VS) command returns a list or set of Vectors that forms a basis for the direct sum of the vector spaces defined by the Vector in each list element of VS.  SumBasis([]) returns the empty set.

  

If all the elements of VS are lists of Vectors, the SumBasis(V) command returns a list of Vectors.  Otherwise, a set of Vectors is returned.

• 

All Vectors given in the V or VS parameters must have the same dimension and orientation.
