Vector Spaces: Axioms of Vector Space Vector Space

A vector space is a set of objects where addition and scalar multiplication are defined and satisfy certain axioms. There are closure axioms that vectors added or multiplied by a scalar remain in the space. There are addition axioms like commutativity and associativity of addition, an additive identity, and additive inverses. Scalar multiplication axioms include distributivity of scalar multiplication over addition, associativity of scalar multiplication, and a multiplicative identity. Vector spaces are used in applications involving functions with field values, such as distribution, differential geometry, and Fourier analysis.

Vector Space Axioms of Vector Space


A vector space is some [a] Closure Axioms
set of things for which C1 : If u and v are in V then u + v is in V [V is closed under addition]
the operation of addition C2 : If k is any scalar then ku is in V [V is closed under scalar multiplication]
and the operation of
multiplication by a [b] Addition Axioms
scalarare defined. A1 : u+v = v+u [Commutativity]
A2 : [u+v]+w = u+[v+w] [Associativity]
A3 : There is an element called zero in V such that u+0=u for every u in V.
Definition [Existance of additive identity]
A4 : There is an element –u in V called negative of u every corresponding to
Let V be a set on which two
every in V such that u + [-u] =0. [Existance of additive inverse]
operations, called addition and
scalar multiplication, have been

defined. V is called a vector
space if the listed axioms hold
M1 : k[u+v]=ku + kv [Distributivity of scalar multiplication]
for all vectors u, v and w in V
M2 : [k+m]u=ku+mu [Distributivity of scalars]
and all scalars
M3 : [km]u=k[mu] [Associative law of scalars]
(real numbers)
M4 : There is an element 1 in V called unity such that 1.u=u for every in V.
