Definition. Let S ⊂ V be a subset of a vector space. The span of S, span(S), is the set of all finite linear combinations of vectors in S. In set notation, span(S) = {v ∈ V : there exist v1, . . . , vk ∈ S and a1, . . . , ak ∈ F such that v = a1v1 + . . . + akvk} . Note that this generalizes the notion of the span of a...
