Properties of the 𝐵-coordinate

vector, relationship between the 𝐵-matrix and the standard matrix, properties of the 𝐵
-matrices.

- For a basis 𝐵 = {𝑣1, 𝑣2, 𝑣3, …, 𝑣𝑚} of a subspace V of 𝑅 ,
o Any vector can be written as the linear combination of the vectors in the basis

- If we consider [𝑥]𝐵 to be an operator on 𝑥, then we can also say that it is a linear
→
operator on 𝑥
- Let B be the 𝐵-matrix of a linear transformation, and A be the standard matrix of the
linear transformation.
o 𝐴𝑆 = 𝑆𝐵, where 𝑆 has the basis for 𝐵 as the column vectors
- Two matrices, A and B, are similar if there exists an invertible S such that
o 𝐴𝑆 = 𝑆𝐵
- A square matrix is similar to itself
- If one matrix is similar to another, then the converse also holds
- If one matrix is similar another, and the other is similar to a third matrix, then the first
matrix is similar to the third matrix
- For a basis 𝐵 = {𝑣1, 𝑣2, 𝑣3, …, 𝑣𝑚}, the 𝐵-matrix of a linear transformation is diagonal if
and only if 𝑇(𝑣𝑗) = 𝑐𝑗𝑣𝑗, where 𝑗 = 1, 2, 3, …, 𝑚
