More about Rank Rank
Rank Rank R = Rank A Maximum number of Independent Columns = 3 Rank = ? Number of Pivot Column = Number of Non-zero rows Rank = ? 3
Rank Maximum number of Independent Columns Rank A Number of columns = Rank A Min( Number of columns, Number of rows) Number of Pivot Column = Number of Non-zero rows Rank A Number of rows
Matrix A is full rank if Rank A = min(m,n) Rank Matrix A is rank deficient if Rank A < min(m,n) Given a mxn matrix A: Rank A min(m, n) Because the columns of A are independent is equivalent to rank A = n If m < n, the columns of A is dependent. 3 X 4 , , , A matrix set has 4 vectors belonging to R3 is dependent Rank A 3 In Rm, you cannot find more than m vectors that are independent.
