Short Answer

Questions: Let \({F_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({F_{\bf{2}}}\) be 4-dimensional flats in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{6}}}\), and suppose that \({F_{\bf{1}}} \cap {F_{\bf{2}}} \ne \phi \). What are the possible dimension of \({F_{\bf{1}}} \cap {F_{\bf{2}}}\)?

The dimension D of the solution set is, \(2 \le D \le 4\).

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Find the dimension of \({F_{\bf{1}}} \cap {F_{\bf{2}}}\) for complete overlap

\({F_1}\) and \({F_2}\) have complete overlap, then \({F_1}\), \({F_2}\) have four dimensions.

Step 2: Find the range of dimension

As there is six-dimensional space, at the minimum, they have \(\left( {6 - 4 = 2} \right)\) dimensions. So, the range of dimensions is shown below:

\(2 \le D \le 4\)

Thus, the dimension of the solution set is from 2 to 4.

Let \({v_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({v_{\bf{2}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{5}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({v_{\bf{3}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{4}}\\{\bf{3}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}\\{\bf{5}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_{\bf{2}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{5}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_{\bf{3}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{3}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_{\bf{4}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - {\bf{1}}}\\{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_{\bf{5}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_{\bf{6}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{2}}\end{array}} \right]\), \({p_{\bf{7}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{6}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right]\) and let \(S = \left\{ {{v_1},{v_2},{v_3}} \right\}\).

  1. Show that the set is affinely independent.
  2. Find the barycentric coordinates of \({p_1}\), \({p_{\bf{2}}}\), and \({p_{\bf{3}}}\) with respect to S.
  3. On graph paper, sketch the triangle \(T\) with vertices \({v_1}\), \({v_{\bf{2}}}\), and \({v_{\bf{3}}}\), extend the sides as in Figure 8, and plot the points \({p_{\bf{4}}}\), \({p_{\bf{5}}}\), \({p_{\bf{6}}}\), and \({p_{\bf{7}}}\). Without calculating the actual values, determine the signs of the barycentric coordinates of points \({p_{\bf{4}}}\), \({p_{\bf{5}}}\), \({p_{\bf{6}}}\), and \({p_{\bf{7}}}\).
