👉 In mathematics, a vanishing vector is a special type of vector that has been defined as an element of the vector space over which it acts. Specifically, a vanishing vector is a vector in the null space or kernel of a linear transformation. A vanishing vector is often denoted by $\mathbf{0}$. The term "vanishers" refers to vectors that are zero when they act on other vectors. These vectors can be thought of as elements of the null space or kernel
