释义

dimension (vector space)


Let V be a vector spaceMathworldPlanetmath over a field K. We say that V isfinite-dimensional if there exists a finite basis of V. Otherwise wecall V infinite-dimensional.

It can be shown that every basis of V has the same cardinality. We call this cardinality the dimension of V. In particular, ifV is finite-dimensional, then every basis of V will consist of a finite setMathworldPlanetmath v1,,vn. We then call the natural numberMathworldPlanetmath n the dimension of V.

Next, let UV a subspacePlanetmathPlanetmath. The dimension of the quotientvector spaceMathworldPlanetmath V/U is called the codimension of U relative to V.

In circumstances where the choice of field is ambiguous, thedimension of a vector space depends on the choice of field. Forexample, every complex vector space is also a real vector space, andtherefore has a real dimension, double its complex dimension.
