Primary independence - Ichijidokuritsu

Japanese: 一次独立 - いちじどくりつ
Primary independence - Ichijidokuritsu

A mathematical term used to describe the interrelationships between several vectors. In general, for n vectors a1 , a2 , ..., an , "there are only l1 , l2 , ..., ln such that l1a1 l2a2 ......+ lnan =0, and l1l2 =...... ln0 ."
Then, a 1 , a 2 , …, an are said to be linearly independent. For example, vectors are linearly independent if the three points P, Q, and R are not on the same line. Also, a 1 , a 2 , …, an are linearly independent if the four points P, Q, R, and S are not on the same plane. A 1 , a 2 , …, an are linearly independent if
"None of these can be expressed as a sum of the remaining n-1 vectors"
When a 1 , a 2 , …, a n are not linearly independent, a 1 , a 2 , …, a n are said to be linearly or linearly dependent.

Japanese:

いくつかのベクトルについて、それらの相互関係を述べるのに用いられる数学用語。一般にn個のベクトルa1、a2、……、anに対して
  「l1a1+l2a2+……+lnan=0となるようなl1、l2、……、lnはl1=l2=……=ln=0しかない」
というとき、a1、a2、……、anは一次独立、あるいは線形独立であるという。たとえば、ベクトルとは、3点P、Q、Rが同一直線上になければ一次独立である。また、、、は、4点P、Q、R、Sが同一平面上になければ一次独立である。a1、a2、……、anが一次独立であるということは、
  「このなかのどの一つも、残りn-1個のベクトルを用いて、それらの“実数倍の和の形”に表されない」
ということと同義である。a1、a2、……、anが一次独立でないとき、a1、a2、……、anは一次従属あるいは線形従属であるといわれる。
