  2. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  3. Underdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdetermined_system

    It is inconsistent if and only if 0 = 1 is a linear combination (with polynomial coefficients) of the equations (this is Hilbert's Nullstellensatz). If an underdetermined system of t equations in n variables ( t < n ) has solutions, then the set of all complex solutions is an algebraic set of dimension at least n - t .

  4. Overdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdetermined_system

    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.

  5. Indeterminate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminate_system

    An indeterminate system by definition is consistent, in the sense of having at least one solution. [3] For a system of linear equations, the number of equations in an indeterminate system could be the same as the number of unknowns, less than the number of unknowns (an underdetermined system ), or greater than the number of unknowns (an ...

  6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The rank of a system of equations (that is, the rank of the augmented matrix) can never be higher than [the number of variables] + 1, which means that a system with any number of equations can always be reduced to a system that has a number of independent equations that is at most equal to [the number of variables] + 1.

  7. Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    where = is the reduced Planck constant.. The quintessentially quantum mechanical uncertainty principle comes in many forms other than position–momentum. The energy–time relationship is widely used to relate quantum state lifetime to measured energy widths but its formal derivation is fraught with confusing issues about the nature of time.

  8. Rank (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_(linear_algebra)

    The rank of an m × n matrix is a nonnegative integer and cannot be greater than either m or n. That is, ⁡ (,). A matrix that has rank min(m, n) is said to have full rank; otherwise, the matrix is rank deficient. Only a zero matrix has rank zero.

  9. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    The Buckingham π theorem describes how every physically meaningful equation involving n variables can be equivalently rewritten as an equation of n − m dimensionless parameters, where m is the rank of the dimensional matrix. Furthermore, and most importantly, it provides a method for computing these dimensionless parameters from the given ...
