{"# Linear independence
This file collects consequences of linear (in)dependence and includes specialized tests for specific families of vectors, requiring more theory to state.
Main statements
We prove several specialized tests for linear independence of families of vectors and of sets of vectors.
linearIndependent_option,linearIndependent_fin_cons,linearIndependent_fin_succ: type-specific tests for linear independence of families of vector fields;linearIndependent_insert,linearIndependent_pair: linear independence tests for set operations
In many cases we additionally provide dot-style operations (e.g., LinearIndependent.union) to
make the linear independence tests usable as hv.insert ha etc.
We also prove that, when working over a division ring, any family of vectors includes a linear independent subfamily spanning the same subspace.
TODO
Rework proofs to hold in semirings, by avoiding the path through
ker (Finsupp.linearCombination R v) = ⊥.
