Nullity can be defined as the number of vectors present in the null space of a given matrix. In other words, the dimension of the null space of the matrix A is called the nullity of A. The number of linear relations among the attributes is given by the size of the null space.

What is nullity equal to?

The nullity of A equals the number of free variables in the corresponding system, which equals the number of columns without leading entries.

What does a nullity of zero mean?

Note that the null space itself is not empty and contains precisely one element which is the zero vector. ... If the nullity of A is zero, then it follows that Ax=0 has only the zero vector as the solution.
