Vector Space (Theorem-3)

Statement:- The necessary and sufficient condition for a vector space V over the field F to be direct sum of its two subspaces W1 and W2 are that
1-V=W1+W2
2- W1 and W2 are disjoint i.e.  W1∩W2={0}


Proof:-       Necessary Condition:-

Let V be a vector space over the field F and W1,W2 be its subspaces.  Let V be direct sum of W1 and W2. i.e.
              each element of V is expressible uniquely as a sum of an
element   of W1 and an element of W2.

In particular each element of V is expressible as a linear sum of an element of W1 and an element of W2.
i.e.                        V=W1+W2
Let                       0≠W1∩W2 also αєV
                        we can write
α=α+0,   αW1,  0W2
α=0+α,   0W1 & αW2
This shows that a non-zero vector αV is expressible in at least two different way as sum of an element of W1 an element Of W2.
Which is contradiction that V is direct sum of W1 and W2.
Thus only zero vector common to both W1 and W2.
                      W1∩W2={0}

Sufficient Condition:-

Let V be a vector space and W1,W2 be its subspaces satisfying the condition-
1-                           V=W1+W2       …………………………..(1)
2-                           W1∩W2={0}  …………………………….(2)
therefore       from(1)

Each element of V is expressible as a sum of an element of W1 and an element of W2.

Let              0≠αV be expand as
such that   α=α1+β1,for some  α1W1 and β1W2
and             α=α2+β2, for some α2W1 and β2W2
               α1+β1=α2+β2
or               α1-α2=β2-β1         …………………………..(3)
Since         α1,α2W1 α2-α1W1
also,          β1,β2W2   β2-β1W2
Therefore from(3)         
α1-α2=β2-β1W1∩W2
But from (2)
W1∩W2={0}
                  α1-α2=0  α1=α2
And               β2-β1=0   β1=β2
Thus each element of V is expressed uniquely as a sum of an element W1 and an element of W2.

                    V=W1W2.
