Compute the rank of a matrix of univariate polynomials of degree :

The rank of a matrix depends on the modulus used:

With ordinary arithmetic, m has the full rank of 3:

With arithmetic modulo 5, the rank is only 2:

The setting of Tolerance can affect the estimated rank for numerical ill-conditioned matrices:

In exact arithmetic, m has full rank:

With machine arithmetic, the default is to consider elements that are too small as zero:

With zero tolerance, even small terms may be taken into account:

With a tolerance greater than the pivot in the middle row, the last two rows are considered zero:

The following three vectors are not linearly independent:

Therefore the matrix rank of the matrix whose rows are the vectors is 2:

The following three vectors are linearly independent:

Therefore the matrix rank of the matrix whose rows are the vectors is 3:

Determine if the following vectors are linearly independent or not:

The rank of the matrix formed from the vectors is less than four, so they are not linearly independent:

Find the dimension of the column space of the following matrix:

The dimension of the space of all linear combinations of the columns equals the matrix rank:

Find the dimension of the subspace spanned by the following vectors:

Since the matrix rank of the matrix formed by the vectors is three, that is the dimension of the subspace:

Determine if the following system of equations has a unique solution:

Rewrite the system in matrix form:

The coefficient matrix has full rank, so the system has a unique solution:

Verify the result using Solve:

Determine if the following matrix has an inverse:

The rank is less than the dimension of the matrix, so it is not invertible:

Verify the result using Inverse:

Determine if the following matrix has a nonzero determinant:

Since it has full rank, its determinant must be nonzero:

Confirm the result using Det:

is an eigenvalue of if does not have full rank. Moreover, a matrix is deficient if it has an eigenvalue whose multiplicity is greater than the difference between the rank of and the number of columns. Show that is an eigenvalue for the following matrix :

Confirm the result using Eigenvalues:

The matrix is deficient because 2 appears twice, but the difference in rank is only one:

Confirm the result with Eigensystem, which indicates deficiency by padding the eigenvector list with zeros:
