Show that any matrix of rank rcan be written as the sum of r matrices of rank 1.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Use the fact that the rank of a matrix is equal to the dimension of the column space of that matrix.

Step by step solution

01

To find that any matrix of rank r

Let A be an nmmatrix such that the rank of A is r. Letv1,v2,,vmbe the column vector of A.

So, we can writeA=v1,v2,,vm

Since, the rank of A is r, therefore the dimension of the vector spacespanv1,v2,,vm is also r.

Hence, there exists u1,u2,,urin nsuch that u1,u2,,urforms a basis ofspanv1,v2,,vm.

Thus, there existsbi1,bi2,,bir in such that

vi=bi1u1+bi2u2++birur鈭赌i=1,2,,n

Using this we can write

A=b11u1+b12u2++b1rur,,bn1u1+bn2u2++bnrur=k=1rb1kuk,b2kuk,L,bnkuk=k=1rCk

Where, Ck=b1kuk,b2kuk,,bnkuk.Thus every column of the matrixCk is a scalar multiple of the vector uk.Since uka member of a basis, therefore it is a nonzero vector. Hence the rank of the matrixCkis1. This holds for allk=1,2,,r.

Thus,A=k=1rCk where each Ckis a matrix of rank 1.

Hence, any matrix of rank rank be written as the sum of r matrices of rank 1.
