Range Space


Description

Range space or image of a matrix.

Usage

orth(M)

Arguments

M

Numeric matrix; vectors will be considered as column vectors.

Details

B=orth(A) returns an orthonormal basis for the range of A. The columns of B span the same space as the columns of A, and the columns of B are orthogonal to each other.

The number of columns of B is the rank of A.

Value

Matrix of orthogonal columns, spanning the image of M.
