Key Concepts

Projection Matrix

A projection matrix is a linear transformation that maps vectors in a larger space onto a specified subspace. It is characterized by properties such as idempotence (P^2 = P) and symmetry when dealing with orthogonal projections. The matrix is typically constructed using a basis for the subspace, often employing the formula P = A (A^T A)^{-1} A^T, where the columns of A form a basis for the subspace.

Orthogonal Projection

An orthogonal projection is a special case of a projection where a vector is projected onto a subspace such that the difference between the original vector and its projection is orthogonal to the subspace. This minimizes the distance between the original vector and the subspace, ensuring the projection is the best approximation in a least-squares sense.

Subspace

A subspace is a subset of a vector space that is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication. In the context of the projection problem, the subspace is defined as the span of a set of vectors, meaning that every vector in the subspace can be written as a linear combination of those spanning vectors.

Basis

A basis of a subspace is a set of linearly independent vectors that span the entire subspace. The choice of basis is fundamental in determining the projection matrix because it directly influences the construction of the matrix that projects vectors onto that subspace.

Null Space

The null space of a projection matrix consists of all vectors that are mapped to the zero vector by the transformation. For an orthogonal projection, the null space is the orthogonal complement of the subspace onto which vectors are projected. Identifying a nonzero vector in the null space provides an example of a vector that is entirely perpendicular to the subspace.
