👉 Retrocedent is a term used in mathematics and computer science, specifically in relation to the study of linear algebra. It refers to a special case of a higher-dimensional vector space that is obtained by taking a basis for the original one and then removing or including certain vectors from it. In other words, a retrocedent subspace of a given vector space V can be defined as a subspace S such that every element in V can be expressed as a linear combination of elements in S.
