  2. Lewy's example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewy's_example

    In the mathematical study of partial differential equations, Lewy's example is a celebrated example, due to Hans Lewy, of a linear partial differential equation with no solutions. It shows that the analog of the Cauchy–Kovalevskaya theorem does not hold in the smooth category.

  3. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Vertical line of equation x = a Horizontal line of equation y = b. Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation + + = may be viewed as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the Euclidean plane. With this interpretation, all solutions of the equation form a line, provided that a and b are not both zero. Conversely, every line is the set of all ...

  4. Underdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdetermined_system

    An underdetermined linear system has either no solution or infinitely many solutions. For example, + + = + + = is an underdetermined system without any solution; any system of equations having no solution is said to be inconsistent. On the other hand, the system

  5. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    When the equations are independent, each equation contains new information about the variables, and removing any of the equations increases the size of the solution set. For linear equations, logical independence is the same as linear independence. The equations x − 2y = −1, 3x + 5y = 8, and 4x + 3y = 7 are linearly dependent. For example ...

    Therefore, the solution = is extraneous and not valid, and the original equation has no solution. For this specific example, it could be recognized that (for the value =), the operation of multiplying by () (+) would be a multiplication by zero. However, it is not always simple to evaluate whether each operation already performed was allowed by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    According to Grcar [4] solution of linear equations by elimination was invented independently in several cultures in Eurasia starting from antiquity and in Europe definite examples of procedure were published already by late Renaissance (in 1550's). It is quite possible that already then the procedure was considered by mathematicians elementary ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.
