Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
F: { the fields }
V: { the F vectors spaces }
V: { the vectors subspaces of V}
V~: { the complementary subspaces of V}
f: :VV, = the projection map into V with respect to V~
V: { the vectors subspaces of V}
//

Statements:
f{ the linear maps }

f(V){ the subspaces of V}
//


2: Natural Language Description


For any field, F, any F vectors space, V, any vectors subspace of V, V, any complementary subspace of V, V~, the projection map into V with respect to V~, f:VV, and any vectors subspace, VV, f is a linear map, and f(V) is a vectors subspace of V.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: choose any v1,v2V and any r1,r2F, and see that f(r1v1+r2v2)=r1f(v1)+r2f(v2); Step 2: choose any v1,v2f(V), and see that r1v1+r2v2f(V).

Step 1:

For any v1,v2V and any r1,r2F, f(r1v1+r2v2)=r1f(v1)+r2f(v2)?

vj=vj+v~j where vjV and v~jV~. r1v1+r2v2=r1(v1+v~1)+r2(v2+v~2)=r1v1+r2v2+r1v~1+r2v~2.

f(r1v1+r2v2)=r1v1+r2v2=r1f(v1)+r2f(v2).

So, yes.

Step 2:

For any v1,v2f(V), r1v1+r2v2f(V)?

There is a vjV such that vj=f(vj). r1v1+r2v2V. f(r1v1+r2v2)=r1f(v1)+r2f(v2)=r1v1+r2v2f(V).

So, yes.
