Solvability of a LSE


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

The solution set of a homogeneous LSE

$\displaystyle Ax = 0
$

with $ m\times n$-coefficient matrix $ A$ forms a subspace $ U$ of $ K^n$.

If the inhomogeneous LSE

$\displaystyle Ax = b
$

has a solution $ v$, then for the general solution we have

$\displaystyle x \in v + U\,
,
$

that is, the solution set is an affine subspace of $ K^n$. In particular, an inhomogeneous LSE can have either no solution, or exactly one solution ($ U=\{0\}$), or an infinite number of solutions ( $ \operatorname{dim} U>0$).
