Solution

Exercise MM.T10 Robert Beezer

Suppose that $A$ is a square matrix and there is a vector, $\vect{b}$, such that $\linearsystem{A}{\vect{b}}$ has a unique solution. Prove that $A$ is nonsingular. Give a direct proof (perhaps appealing to Theorem PSPHS) rather than just negating a sentence from the text discussing a similar situation.

Solution

Exercise MM.T12 Robert Beezer

The conclusion of Theorem HMIP is $\innerproduct{A\vect{x}}{\vect{y}}=\innerproduct{\vect{x}}{\adjoint{A}\vect{y}}$. Use the same hypotheses, and prove the similar conclusion: $\innerproduct{\vect{x}}{A\vect{y}}=\innerproduct{\adjoint{A}\vect{x}}{\vect{y}}$. Two different approaches can be based on an application of Theorem HMIP. The first uses Theorem AA, while a second uses Theorem IPAC. Can you provide two proofs?

Suppose that $\vect{x},\,\vect{y}\in\complex{n}$, $\vect{b}\in\complex{m}$ and $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix. If $\vect{x}$, $\vect{y}$ and $\vect{x}+\vect{y}$ are each a solution to the linear system $\linearsystem{A}{\vect{b}}$, what can you say that is interesting about $\vect{b}$? Form an implication with the existence of the three solutions as the hypothesis and an interesting statement about $\linearsystem{A}{\vect{b}}$ as the conclusion, and then give a proof.
