Is value in the matrix notation












1












$begingroup$


Given an $mtimes n$ matrix $A=begin{bmatrix} a_{1,1}&...&a_{1,n} \ vdots&ddots&vdots \ a_{m,1}&...&a_{m,n} \ end{bmatrix}$, say that I wanted to describe a set generator $S(A)$ which only consists of every individual entry in A, using set builder notation. I want to write something like this...



$$S(A) = left{sinmathbb{R} : sin Aright}$$



But I know that '$sin A$' is incorrect bc '$in$' should only ever be used wrt sets; is there a common convention (perhaps another symbol) that I could use?

          What is a matrix, exactly?



          A good formal definition of a matrix is a function



          $$A : [m] times [n] rightarrow mathbb{R}$$



          where $[m] = {1,2,cdots,m}$ and $[n] = {1,2,cdots,n}$. The codomain could be any set, but let's use $mathbb{R}$ for sake of example.



          Thus, when you see an entry $a_{i,j}$, you can essentially think of it as the output $A(i,j) in mathbb{R}$. In this case, you can easily see that the notation you're looking for is simply the range $ran(A)$of $A$:



          $$ ran(A) = {A(i,j) | (i,j) in [m]times [n]} = {a_{i,j} | (i,j) in [m] times [n]}$$

            I strongly recommend not using $operatorname{ran}(A)$ for the set of entries of $A$ because that notation is often used for the range of $A$ considered as a linear map $mathbb R^n to mathbb R^m$. You can use the other two notations on the last line, though.
