How to Prove matrix $m \times m$ is invertible is equivalent to be $LI$ over $\mathbb{Z_{2}}$?

au flag

I came up with one problem that says that a $m \times m$ matrix is invertible is the same as to say that its rows are LI (linearly independent) over $\mathbb{Z_{2}}$.

First of all, I'd like to know how to prove it, in order to prove the following:

Supposing $$z_{m+i} = \sum_{j = 0}^{m-1} c_jz_{i+j} \text{ mod 2}$$

where $(z_1, z_2, ..., z_m)$ comprises the initialization vector. For $i \geq 1$, we define:

$$v_i = (z_i, ..., z_{i+m-1})$$, observing that $v_1,... ,v_m$ are the rows of the $m \times m$ matrix.

It asks to prove with these above informations:

For any $i \geq 1$, $$v_{m+1} = \sum_{j = 0}^{m-1} c_jv_{i+j} \text{ mod 2}$$

I've calculated $v_1 = (0, c_0z_1, ..., ), v_2 = (0, c_0z_2, c_0z_2 +c_1z_3, ...)$, however I don't see a way to know how to prove that for $\alpha_i \in \mathbb{R^*}$ that:

$$\alpha_1 v_1 + \alpha_2 v_2 + \alpha_3 v_3 + ... + \alpha_m v_m = 0$$

This is generally given as an exercise on a linear algebra course.

I didn't find one of such kind in my book of linear algebra.

$(\Rightarrow)$ what happens if you consider $M \times M^{-1} = Id$ modulo 2? $(\Leftarrow)$ can a zero linear combination appear when going from $\mathbb{Z}_2$ to $\mathbb{Z}$?

Both conditions are equivalent to the kernel being null. I think the better proofs are high-level and don't rely on manipulating sums.

I think someone then, could migrate my question to mathexchange.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
