function N = nulbasis(A) % nulbasis Basis for nullspace. % % N = nulbasis(A) returns a basis for the nullspace of A % in the columns of N. The basis contains the n-r special % solutions to Ax=0. freecol is the list of free columns. % % Example: % % >> A = [1 2 0 3; % [0 0 1 4]; % % >> N = nulbasis(A) % % N = [-2 -3] % [ 1 0] % [ 0 -4] % [ 0 1] % % See also fourbase. [R, pivcol] = rref(A, sqrt(eps)); [m, n] = size(A); r = length(pivcol); freecol = 1:n; freecol(pivcol) = []; N = zeros(n, n-r); N(freecol, : ) = eye(n-r); N(pivcol, : ) = -R(1:r, freecol);
