zero vector

zero vector (plural zero vectors)

1. (mathematics, linear algebra) A vector ${\displaystyle 0}$ in a vector space ${\displaystyle V}$ such that for any ${\displaystyle v\in V}$, ${\displaystyle 0+v=v}$; a vector whose value in every dimension is zero; i.e., ${\displaystyle {\vec {0}}=<0,0,\ldots ,0>}$.

   The zero vector of a given vector space is the space's additive identity.
