The left null space of a matrix A consists of all vectors x such that xTA = 0T, where T denotes the transpose of a column vector. The left null space of A is the same as the null space of AT. The left null space of A is the orthogonal complement to the column space of A, and is the cokernel of the associated linear transformation. The null space, the row space, the column space, and the left null space of A are the four fundamental subspaces associated to the matrix A.

Famous quotes containing the words left, null and/or space:
“She could give herself up to the written word as naturally as a good dancer to music or a fine swimmer to water. The only difficulty was that after finishing the last sentence she was left with a feeling at once hollow and uncomfortably full. Exactly like indigestion.”
—Jean Rhys (1894–1979)
“A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“True spoiling is nothing to do with what a child owns or with amount of attention he gets. he can have the major part of your income, living space and attention and not be spoiled, or he can have very little and be spoiled. It is not what he gets that is at issue. It is how and why he gets it. Spoiling is to do with the family balance of power.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
