SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS II

Lecture 7

In this lecture we shall consider the Kronecker-Capelli Theorem, which
allows us to determine whether a system of equations has a solution
and if it does, whether it is unique.

Kronecker – Capelli Theorem
The system of m linear equations in n unknowns possesses a solution (it
is said to be consistent) if and only if the coefficient matrix A and the
augmented matrix A|B have the same rank.

rank A = rank A|B = r.

background image

(i) If the rank of both of the matrices r is equal to the number of
unknowns n
rank A = rank A|B = r = n,
then the solution is unique.

(ii) If the rank of both of the matrices r is smaller than the
number of unknowns n,
rank A = rank A|B = r < n,
then (n – r) of the unknowns may be assigned any values, the
other r unknowns are uniquely determined from the system.
This system has infinitely many solutions, because its
solutions depend on (n – r) parameters.

(iii) If the rank r of the coefficient matrix is smaller than the rank
of the augmented matrix
rank A < rank A|B,

then the system does not have a solution, it is said to be
inconsistent
.

background image

Let rank(A) = r. Then there can be at least one nonsingular r x r
matrix M made from A .

The equations corresponding with the rows of M are called the
basic equations, the other equations are the side equations.

The unknowns corresponding with the columns of M are called
the basic unknowns, the other columns are the side
unknowns
.

The reduced row echelon form of A

means that rank A = rank A|B = 3, there are 4 unknowns so one of them will be
the parameter.

Example

det A =0, because the third row is equal to the
difference
between the second and the first row ( R2 = (R2
–R1) )

Rank A = 2 because

So rank A|B = 2

background image

The system is consistent because rank A = rank A|B =2

The number of unknowns is 3, thus there is (3 - 2 =1) 1 parameter,
there is an infinite number of solutions.

How do we choose the parameter (the side unknown)?
It has to be in the column which if removed does not change the ranks.

It is either the third or second unknown,

y = p

or

z = p

.

We choose the third one

z = p

and place it on the Right Hand

Side of the equations.

thus rank A = 2, also rank A|B = 2, so there is one

Rank A = 1 and rank A|B = 2 so there are no solutions

Rank A = 1, rank A|B = 1, there is an infinite number of solutions,
dependent on one parameter.

Answer:

For p \in R \ { 4, -1} the system has a unique solution,
for p = 4 it is inconsistent – there are no solutions
for p = -1 there is an infinite number of solutions

background image

Definition
A system of equations is called homogeneous when all the constants
are equal to zero, otherwise the system is called non homogeneous.

From the fact that a non-singular system has a unique solution we
conclude: 
the obvious zero solution is the only solution of a homogeneous
system when it is non-singular.

The necessary condition for a homogeneous
system to have a non zero solution is that, it IS
singular, i.e
det A = 0.
