basis of space of all $3times3$ matrices and basis of space of all $3times3$ matrices with rank $0, 1$ or $2$












0














I have a set of all $3times3$ matrices $B$ that have rank $0, 1$ or $2$ - what is the basis of a subspace that this set generates?



I came to the conclusion that this subspace consists of lines, planes and the null vector and it generates the whole space of $Bbb R^3$, but I don't know what is the basis of this subspace - is it just the set of all the $B$'s?



EDIT: my original thinking was very wrong, the questions I ended up with are what is the basis of the space of all $3times3$ matrices and what is the basis of the subspace - all $3times3$ matrices with rank $0, 1$ or $2$

The vector space of all $3 x 3$ matrices is not $R^3$. You can verify that the space has dimension $9$ because you will need $9$ vectors for a basis. Probably the most likely ones would be $begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$, $begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 & 0\0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$ ... $begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 1\0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$,$begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\1 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$, $begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\0 & 1 & 0\0 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$, $begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 1\0 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$,$begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0\1 & 0 & 0end{bmatrix}$, $begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0\0 & 1 & 0end{bmatrix}$, $begin{bmatrix}0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 0\0 & 0 & 1end{bmatrix}$



Now considering that your subspace only contains matrices with rank $leq2$ the basis for that space will contain only $6$ of these $9$.

It's unclear which space you're talking about---subspace of what? If you are viewing $3times3$ matrices as elements of $V=mathbb R^{3,3}$ i.e. $3times3$ matrices under addition, then the answer is all of $V$.

  • The space of all 3x3 matrices acts on $mathbb R^3$ but it is not of itself $mathbb R^3$.

  • the set of B matrices is the subspace of R^3

  • No, I don't think so.

  • the whole task was that I have two 3x3 matrices: A and C - A has rank 2 and C can be any 3x3 matrix and the question is: what is the basis of a subspace of the space of all 3x3 matrices that is generated by the set of 3x3 matrices B that satisfy the equation A*C=B (I'm trying to translate it into english as exact as I can)

  • maybe I'm interpreting the phrase "the space of all 3x3 matrices" wrongly, I thought it is just R^3 but maybe it's something else?
