C^n = the set of all column vectors of size n with entries from the set of complex numbers
Rho = a function outputting coefficients for a particular vector with respect to a particular basis
: a basis of V
: an arbitrary vector in V
: this is the first coefficient in the above rho function (=the set of coefficients)
=======================================
=======================================
---------------------------------------------------------
Aside from the formal proof below, it can be seen that the above rho C y function satisfies the
two following requirements:
1. the scalar characteristics
2. the addition rule.
More specifically:
1. Multiplying “y” with 2, for instance, the coefficient set would be 2*(-28, -8, 11, 0).
2. When adding “y” to another vector, say, “x,” the addition rule will hold.
=======================================
** T(vi) may have no specific formula and may be based only on a verbal definition.
As such, it might seem a bit arbitrary, due to LTDB.
Since the rho function is the same as T(w), the rho function is also a linear transformation.
=======================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Intuition 1
: this function may not be injective.
: this is injective. The input being a vector “w,” and the output being a vector set of coefficients.
: it is not sensical to believe that a different vector “y” of V can output the same set of
coefficients.
: Therefore, it is injective.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Intuition 2
The only way that the coefficient set vector in the domain can lead to a zero vector (under K(T))
in the codomain is that the coefficient set vector itself be a zero vector.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================
: when “surjective”
-> range = codomain
---------------------------------------------------------
Whatever coefficients we put in instead of -28, -8, 11, 0, we will get a “y” as an “output” (which is
actually an input).
Hence, the surjection.
