In linear algebra, the column space (also called the range or ) of a matrix A is the span (set of all possible linear combinations) of its column vectors. The column space of a matrix is the or range of the corresponding matrix transformation.
Let be a field. The column space of an m × n matrix with components from is a linear subspace of the m-space . The dimension of the column space is called the rank of the matrix and is at most min(m, n). A definition for matrices over a ring is also possible.
The row space is defined similarly.
The row space and the column space of a matrix A are sometimes denoted as C(AT) and C(A) respectively.
This article considers matrices of real numbers. The row and column spaces are subspaces of the real spaces and respectively.
Let A be an m-by-n matrix. Then
rank(A) = dim(rowsp(A)) = dim(colsp(A)),
rank(A) = number of pivots in any echelon form of A,
rank(A) = the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns of A.
If one considers the matrix as a linear transformation from to , then the column space of the matrix equals the of this linear transformation.
The column space of a matrix A is the set of all linear combinations of the columns in A. If A = [a1 ⋯ an], then colsp(A) = span().
The concept of row space generalizes to matrices over , the field of complex numbers, or over any field.
Intuitively, given a matrix A, the action of the matrix A on a vector x will return a linear combination of the columns of A weighted by the coordinates of x as coefficients. Another way to look at this is that it will (1) first project x into the row space of A, (2) perform an invertible transformation, and (3) place the resulting vector y in the column space of A. Thus the result y = Ax must reside in the column space of A. See singular value decomposition for more details on this second interpretation.
Given a matrix J:
the rows are
Consequently, the row space of J is the subspace of spanned by .
Since these four row vectors are linearly independent, the row space is 4-dimensional.

In mathematics, the kernel of a linear map, also known as the null space or nullspace, is the linear subspace of the domain of the map which is mapped to the zero vector. That is, given a linear map L : V → W between two vector spaces V and W, the kernel of L is the vector space of all elements v of V such that L(v) = 0, where 0 denotes the zero vector in W, or more symbolically: The kernel of L is a linear subspace of the domain V.
In linear algebra, the quotient of a vector space by a subspace is a vector space obtained by "collapsing" to zero. The space obtained is called a quotient space and is denoted (read " mod " or " by "). Formally, the construction is as follows. Let be a vector space over a field , and let be a subspace of . We define an equivalence relation on by stating that if . That is, is related to if one can be obtained from the other by adding an element of .
In linear algebra, eigendecomposition is the factorization of a matrix into a canonical form, whereby the matrix is represented in terms of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Only diagonalizable matrices can be factorized in this way. When the matrix being factorized is a normal or real symmetric matrix, the decomposition is called "spectral decomposition", derived from the spectral theorem. Eigenvalue, eigenvector and eigenspace A (nonzero) vector v of dimension N is an eigenvector of a square N × N matrix A if it satisfies a linear equation of the form for some scalar λ.
We introduce robust principal component analysis from a data matrix in which the entries of its columns have been corrupted by permutations, termed Unlabeled Principal Component Analysis (UPCA). Using algebraic geometry, we establish that UPCA is a well-de ...
