This can be concisely written as the matrix inequality , where A is an m×n matrix, x is an n×1 column vector of variables, and b is an m×1 column vector of constants. [citation needed] In the above systems both strict and non-strict inequalities may be used. Not all systems of linear inequalities have solutions.
If, on the other hand, the ranks of these two matrices are equal, the system must have at least one solution; since in an underdetermined system this rank is necessarily less than the number of unknowns, there are indeed an infinitude of solutions, with the general solution having k free parameters where k is the difference between the number ...
In linear systems, indeterminacy occurs if and only if the number of independent equations (the rank of the augmented matrix of the system) is less than the number of unknowns and is the same as the rank of the coefficient matrix. For if there are at least as many independent equations as unknowns, that will eliminate any stretches of overlap ...
Putting it another way, according to the Rouché–Capelli theorem, any system of equations (overdetermined or otherwise) is inconsistent if the rank of the augmented matrix is greater than the rank of the coefficient matrix. If, on the other hand, the ranks of these two matrices are equal, the system must have at least one solution.
The same is true for not less than, . The notation a ≠ b means that a is not equal to b; this inequation sometimes is considered a form of strict inequality. [4] It does not say that one is greater than the other; it does not even require a and b to be member of an ordered set. In engineering sciences, less formal use of the notation is to ...
The matrix [] has rank 2: the first two columns are linearly independent, so the rank is at least 2, but since the third is a linear combination of the first two (the first column plus the second), the three columns are linearly dependent so the rank must be less than 3. The matrix = [] has rank 1: there are nonzero columns, so the rank is ...
Jamie Foxx was injured during an altercation at his birthday dinner, his spokesperson said Saturday. A spokesperson for Foxx said the actor, who turned 57 on Dec. 13, was “at his birthday dinner ...
Consider the system of equations + + = + + = + + = The coefficient matrix is = [], and the augmented matrix is (|) = []. Since both of these have the same rank, namely 2, there exists at least one solution; and since their rank is less than the number of unknowns, the latter being 3, there are an infinite number of solutions.
