Is there a relationship between 1 and 2. If so, is it 1 implies 2, 2 implies 1, or if and only if.
1) $\operatorname{null}A=\operatorname{null}B$
2) $\operatorname{col}\operatorname{rref}A=\operatorname{col}\operatorname{rref }B$

Hey Rido! ;)

Nice operatornames! (Mmm)

Actually, I'm not quite clear on what $\operatorname{col}$ is supposed to mean.
It it the column space? Or the rank of the column space?
Can you clarify?

And what about $\operatorname{null}$? Is it whether the matrix is a null matrix, or is it the kernel $\operatorname{ker}$? (Wondering)

Hi ILS! :D

$\col A$ represents the column space of $A$, so in this case, it is the column space of the row reduced form of $A$. The matrix is the null matrix.
 
Let's pick a couple of simple matrices. (Thinking)

Say $A=(^{2\ 0}_{0\ 0})$ and $B=(^{0\ 3}_{0\ 0})$.

What are $\operatorname{null} A$ and $\operatorname{null} B$?
And $\operatorname{rref} A, \operatorname{rref} B$?
And $\operatorname{col} \operatorname{rref} A, \operatorname{col} \operatorname{rref} B$?

Do they give you a clue? (Wondering)
 
Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
