isKerAinKerB

Description

For two matrices A and B checks whether the null space of A is a subspace of the null space of B, in other words, if Ax=0 entails Bx=0.

Usage

isKerAinKerB(A, B, tol = .Machine$double.eps)

Arguments

`A`	a matrix; if `A` is a vector, `A` is coerced to a matrix by `as.matrix`.
`B`	a matrix; if `B` is a vector, `B` is coerced to a matrix by `as.matrix`.
`tol`	the tolerance for detecting linear dependencies in the columns of `a` and up to which the two projectors are seen as equal (see below).

Details

via calls to svd, the projectors pi_A and pi_B onto the respective orthogonal complements of ker(A) and ker(B) are calculated and then is checked whether pi_B pi_A = pi_B.

Value

logical
