A matrix nxn with a parameter p is given and the question is what is the rank of that matrix in terms of p, the gaussian elimination is the standard process and i know how to do it. But i was wondering if the determinant of a matrix tells us if the matrix has independent columns thus telling us...

I'm desperately trying to understand how to get from 2.7.11 to 2.7.16 and cannot find any reference online on how to find the inverse of an elastic tangent modulus (fourth_order tensor). Can someone help me or give me a reference I can check where they do a similar thing? I would really...

The published solutions indicate that the nullspace is a plane in R^n. Why isn't the nullspace an n-1 dimensional space within R^n? For example, if I understand things correctly, the 1x2 matrix [1 2] would have a nullspace represented by any linear combination of the vector (-2,1), which...

My trouble is being to show A must be of rank 2. Any ideas?

Hi, I was trying to find the rank of following matrix. I formed the following system and it seems like all three columns are linearly independent and hence the rank is 3. But the answer says the rank is '2'. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, in advance!

Hey! :giggle: Question 1: Let $C$ be a $\mathbb{R}$-vector space, $1\leq n\in \mathbb{N}$ and let $\phi_1, \ldots , \phi_n:V\rightarrow V$ be linear maps. I have shown by induction that $\phi_1\circ \ldots \circ \phi_n$ is then also a linear map. I want to show now by induction that if $V$ is...

When I started learning about tensors the tensor rank was drilled into me. "A tensor rank ##\left(m,n\right)## has ##m## up indices and ##n## down indices." So a rank (1,1) tensor is written ##A_\nu^\mu,A_{\ \ \nu}^\mu## or is that ##A_\nu^{\ \ \ \mu}##? Tensor coefficients change when the...

If I have a matrix representing a 2nd order tensor (2 2) and I want to convert this matrix from M$$\textsuperscript{ab}$$ to $$M\textsubscript{b}\textsuperscript{a}$$ what do I do? I'm given the matrix elements for the 2x2 tensor. When applying the metric tensor to this matrix I understand...

When discussing how a rank two tensor transforms under SO(3), we say that the tensor can be decomposed into three irreducible parts, the anti-symmetric part, traceless-symmetric part, and a 1-dimensional trace part, which transforms as a scalar. How do we know that the symmetric and...

This should be a trivial question. I am trying to compute the spherical tensor ##T_0^{(0)} = \frac{(U_1 V_{-1} + U_{-1} V_1 - U_0 V_0)}{3}## using the general formula (Sakurai 3.11.27), but what I get is: $$ T_0^{(0)} = \sum_{q_1=-1}^1 \sum_{q_2=-1}^1 \langle 1,1;q_1,q_2|1,1;0,q\rangle...
