Study Notes
Linear Algebra - Chapter 2: Systems of Linear Equations
- ECE 317: This chapter focuses on systems of linear equations from the textbook "Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra." It includes supplementary examples from other resources.
Basic Definitions and Solutions
- Linear Equation: A linear equation in unknowns x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ has the standard form a₁x₁ + a₂x₂ + ... + aₙxₙ = b, where a₁, a₂, ..., aₙ and b are constants.
- Coefficient of xᵢ: The constant aᵢ.
- Constant Term: The constant b.
- Solution: A solution of a linear equation is a list of values for the unknowns (a vector in Kⁿ) that satisfies the equation when substituted.
System of Linear Equations (Systems)
- Definition 3 (System): A system of linear equations is a set of linear equations with the same unknowns.
- m × n system: A system with m equations and n unknowns.
- Square System: A system where the number of equations (m) equals the number of unknowns (n).
- Homogeneous System: A system where all the constant terms (bᵢ) are zero.
- Nonhomogeneous System: A system where at least one constant term (bᵢ) is non-zero.
- Consistent Systems: Systems with at least one solution, potentially unique or infinite.
- Inconsistent Systems Systems with no solution.
Matrices and Systems
- Augmented Matrix (M): A matrix that combines the coefficients and constants of a system of equations.
- Coefficient Matrix (A): The matrix of coefficients. M without the last column.
Degenerate Equations
- Degenerate Equation: An equation where all coefficients are zero. The solution depends only on the constant 'b'.
- B≠0 - no solution
- B=0 infinite set of solutions
Pivot: Leading Variable
- Pivot: The first nonzero term in a nondegenerate equation. The leading unknown in a non-degenerate equation.
Equivalent Systems and Elementary Operations
- Equivalent Systems: Two systems have the same solution.
- Elementary Operations:
- Interchanging equations: Li ↔ Lj(replace Li with Lj)
- Multiplying an equation by a nonzero constant: kLį → Lį(Replace Lį with kLį)
- Adding a multiple of one equation to another: kLi + Lj → Lj (Replace Lj with kLi + Lj)
Small Square Systems (2x2)
- Geometric Interpretation (2x2): The graph of each equation is a line in a plane (R²).
- Unique Solution: Distinct slopes.
- No Solution: Parallel lines, different y-intercepts
- Infinite Solutions: Coinciding lines.
Systems in Triangular/Echelon Forms
- Triangular Form: A system where the leading unknown in each subsequent equation appears further to the right,
- Echelon Form: A system in triangular form or a system with no rows of zeros unless they are below any nonzero rows.
Gaussian Elimination
- Algorithm 2 (Gaussian Elimination): A method for solving systems of linear equations. • Part A (Forward Elimination): Reduces the system into a simpler, triangular or echelon form using elementary operations. • Part B (Back-Substitution): Solves the simplified system using substitution.
