Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

null(A)

Parameters

A

-

matrix, vector, array, or scalar

Description

• 

The procedure null(A) computes a basis for the null space (kernel) of the linear transformation defined by the matrix A. The result is a matrix where each column represents a vector in the computed basis.

• 

The basis vectors are not in any fixed order.  The same input in the same session can result in a matrix with columns in a different order than the previous execution.
