Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(F\): \(\in \{\text{ the fields }\}\)
\(V'\): \(\in \{\text{ the } F \text{ vectors spaces }\}\)
\(V\): \(\in \{\text{ the vectors subspaces of } V'\}\)
\(\widetilde{V}\): \(\in \{\text{ the complementary subspaces of } V\}\)
\(f\): \(: V' \to V\), \(= \text{ the projection map into } V \text{ with respect to } \widetilde{V}\)
\(V''\): \(\in \{\text{ the vectors subspaces of } V'\}\)
//

Statements:
\(f \in \{\text{ the linear maps }\}\)
\(\land\)
\(f (V'') \in \{\text{ the subspaces of } V'\}\)
//


2: Natural Language Description


For any field, \(F\), any \(F\) vectors space, \(V'\), any vectors subspace of \(V'\), \(V\), any complementary subspace of \(V\), \(\widetilde{V}\), the projection map into \(V\) with respect to \(\widetilde{V}\), \(f: V' \to V\), and any vectors subspace, \(V'' \subseteq V'\), \(f\) is a linear map, and \(f (V'')\) is a vectors subspace of \(V'\).


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: choose any \(v'_1, v'_2 \in V'\) and any \(r_1, r_2 \in F\), and see that \(f (r_1 v'_1 + r_2 v'_2) = r_1 f (v'_1) + r_2 f (v'_2)\); Step 2: choose any \(v_1, v_2 \in f (V'')\), and see that \(r_1 v_1 + r_2 v_2 \in f (V'')\).

Step 1:

For any \(v'_1, v'_2 \in V'\) and any \(r_1, r_2 \in F\), \(f (r_1 v'_1 + r_2 v'_2) = r_1 f (v'_1) + r_2 f (v'_2)\)?

\(v'_j = v_j + \widetilde{v}_j\) where \(v_j \in V\) and \(\widetilde{v}_j \in \widetilde{V}\). \(r_1 v'_1 + r_2 v'_2 = r_1 (v_1 + \widetilde{v}_1) + r_2 (v_2 + \widetilde{v}_2) = r_1 v_1 + r_2 v_2 + r_1 \widetilde{v}_1 + r_2 \widetilde{v}_2\).

\(f (r_1 v'_1 + r_2 v'_2) = r_1 v_1 + r_2 v_2 = r_1 f (v'_1) + r_2 f (v'_2)\).

So, yes.

Step 2:

For any \(v_1, v_2 \in f (V'')\), \(r_1 v_1 + r_2 v_2 \in f (V'')\)?

There is a \(v''_j \in V''\) such that \(v_j = f (v''_j)\). \(r_1 v''_1 + r_2 v''_2 \in V''\). \(f (r_1 v''_1 + r_2 v''_2) = r_1 f (v''_1) + r_2 f (v''_2) = r_1 v_1 + r_2 v_2 \in f (V'')\).

So, yes.
