... circuits never can be {(x1 , x2 ), (x2 , x3 , x4 ), (x4 , x5 )} since for this family the circuit axiom (see Lemma 3) does not hold. As a simple example, let us consider four vectors x1 = (1, 2), x2 = (1, 3), x3 = (0, 1), x4 = (3, 6) ∈ R2 . Verify that three sets of vectors {(x1 , x4 ), (x1 , x2 , x ...

Basis (linear algebra)
Basis vector redirects here. For basis vector in the context of crystals, see crystal structure. For a more general concept in physics, see frame of reference.A set of vectors in a vector space V is called a basis, or a set of basis vectors, if the vectors are linearly independent and every vector in the vector space is a linear combination of this set. In more general terms, a basis is a linearly independent spanning set.Given a basis of a vector space V, every element of V can be expressed uniquely as a linear combination of basis vectors, whose coefficients are referred to as vector coordinates or components. A vector space can have several distinct sets of basis vectors; however each such set has the same number of elements, with this number being the dimension of the vector space.
