  Null space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the null space (also nullspace) of an operator A is the set of all operands v which solve the equation Av = 0.
While the term kernel is used more often, the term null space is sometimes used in the context in which one wants to avoid confusion with integral kernel.
Hence the null space is a vector space.

 Null vector (vector space) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra and related areas of mathematics, the null vector or zero vector is the vector (0, 0, …, 0) in Euclidean space, all of whose components are zero.
For a general vector space, the null vector is the uniquely determined vector that is the identity element for vector addition.
The preimage of the zero vector under a linear transformation f is called kernel or null space.

The column space of a matrix is the subspace of the codomain which is spanned by the columns of the matrix.
The dimension of the column space is called the rank of the matrix, and is equal to the dimension of the column space.
The row space of a matrix is the subspace of the domain which is spanned by the rows of the matrix.

The subspaces are the null space of A, the row space of A, the column space of A, and the null space of A
The row space of A is the subspace spanned by the rows of A.
Because the row space and the column space of A have the same dimension (r= rank of A), A is an injective and surjective (hence invertible) map from the row space to the column space.

The analysis of the left null space of the stoichiometric matrix allows us to define the achievable states of the cell and their physiological relevance.
Somewhat analogous to the extreme pathways that have proved useful for flux analysis, a convex basis for the left null space ensures that the weighting of every compound in a metabolic pool is positive and thus leads to chemically interpretable combinations of concentrations.
The row space and column space of S contain the dynamics of the reaction rates and the time derivative of the concentrations, respectively, and thus comprise all the time-varying components.

V is in RowSpace[A] By definition, Row Space of A kills the Null Space of A. Ker A Rows of A Null Space of A ---------R1------
The answer is yes, if R* is in the Row Space of A. If R* is not in the Row space of A#, then we get one more stair step one in the Row Canonical form of A#, and one less basis vector in the null space of A#.
We adjoin the null space of A^T to the columns of A. This gives us a square matrix which is invertible.

If you want to find a collection of integral vectors with the property that any integral vector in the null space is an _integral_ linear combination of the ones in the first set, then you are asking a question about free modules over the integers.
Also lacking is a description of the size of the rest of the null-space, although there ought to be some way of adjoining another equation which would force the solution set to drop to a subset of the original nullspace which excludes the basis vector already obtained.
I'm not sure that adding the equation that forces these other null vectors to be perpendicular to the first (for example) is anywhere close to the optimal situation.

There is a great deal more to finding null spaces; enough, in fact, to warrant another module.

When you discussed the basis of a null space in class you said we have to reduce it to the Reduced Row Echelon form of the equation.
Matrix A. The textbook states that in section 5.5 we only need to reduce it to Row Echelon form in order to be able to solves for Basis of Row and Column Space and then on to the Null Space.
Otherwise, RE form is sufficient to find the basis for the row and column spaces.

PCNSA first obtains a principal components subspace (PCA space) for the entire data in order to maximize the between-class variance.
In this PCA space, it finds for each class `i', an M i dimensional subspace along which the class's...

 A Null-space Algorithm for Overcomplete Independent Component Analysis
Comparing complete ICA and overcomplete ICA in existing literature, one can notice that complete ICA does not assume noise in observations, and the sources can be ex- plicitly solved from the receivers, whereas the overcomplete ICA in gen- eral assumes noise in observations and the sources are implicitly solved by gradient type algorithms.
In this paper, we present an explicit null- space representation for overcomplete ICA in the noiseless situation based on singular value decomposition (SVD), and develop an algorithm for estimating mixing matrix and recovering the sources.
The null-space representation makes the connection between complete ICA and over- complete ICA more apparent, and leads to a mathematical explanation of lateral inhibition in the context of overcomplete linear model.
