Two linear systems using the same set of variables are equivalent if each of the equations in the second system can be derived algebraically from the equations in the first system, and vice versa. Two systems are equivalent if either both are inconsistent or each equation of each of them is a linear combination of the equations of the other one.
A covering LP is a linear program of the form: Minimize: b T y, subject to: A T y ≥ c, y ≥ 0, such that the matrix A and the vectors b and c are non-negative. The dual of a covering LP is a packing LP, a linear program of the form: Maximize: c T x, subject to: Ax ≤ b, x ≥ 0, such that the matrix A and the vectors b and c are non-negative.
Conversely, every line is the set of all solutions of a linear equation. The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that has been defined in the preceding ...
Pearson's correlation coefficient is the covariance of the two variables divided by the product of their standard deviations. The form of the definition involves a "product moment", that is, the mean (the first moment about the origin) of the product of the mean-adjusted random variables; hence the modifier product-moment in the name.
Third, each unrestricted variable is eliminated from the linear program. This can be done in two ways, one is by solving for the variable in one of the equations in which it appears and then eliminating the variable by substitution. The other is to replace the variable with the difference of two restricted variables.
In the theory of linear programming, a basic feasible solution (BFS) is a solution with a minimal set of non-zero variables. Geometrically, each BFS corresponds to a vertex of the polyhedron of feasible solutions. If there exists an optimal solution, then there exists an optimal BFS.
The equation of a line: Ax + By = C, with A 2 + B 2 = 1 and C ≥ 0; The equation of a circle: () + = By contrast, there are alternative forms for writing equations. For example, the equation of a line may be written as a linear equation in point-slope and slope-intercept form.
Multilinear polynomials are the interpolants of multilinear or n-linear interpolation on a rectangular grid, a generalization of linear interpolation, bilinear interpolation and trilinear interpolation to an arbitrary number of variables. This is a specific form of multivariate interpolation, not to be confused with piecewise linear
