To write a MATLAB function called find_bases
that finds basis vectors for the column space and null space of a given matrix, you can follow these steps:
main.m292 chars9 lines
Here's a breakdown of the code:
find_bases
takes a matrix as an input and returns two outputs: the basis vectors for the column space (col_space_basis
) and the basis vectors for the null space (null_space_basis
).any
function is used to check if any of the columns have non-zero values. The resulting Boolean vector is used to select the corresponding columns of the input matrix.svd
) of the input matrix. The left singular vectors are stored in the matrix U
, the singular values are stored in the diagonal matrix S
, and the right singular vectors are stored in the matrix V
.V
, corresponding to the null space of the matrix. The number of selected columns is equal to the number of singular values that are non-zero in the matrix S
.col_space_basis
and null_space_basis
are returned as the outputs of the function.You can call this function in MATLAB by providing a matrix as an argument, for example:
main.m78 chars3 lines
The variables col_basis
and null_basis
will then contain the basis vectors for the column space and null space, respectively, of the provided matrix.
