Finding solution set of system of linear equations.
..., 2.2 of Artin, Algebra). So, 3 eqs in 4 unknowns. One can easily use row-reductions to find a homogeneous solution(b=0) of: X_1 = 0, X_2 = -c/2, X_3 = c, X_4 = 0 and solutions of the above system are: X_1 = 2/3, X_2 = -1/3-c/2, X_3 = c, X_4 = 0. So the Kernel is 1-D spanned by X_2 = -X_3 /2, (nulliity=1), rank is 3. In R I use solve(): > solve(a,b) Error in solve.default(a, b) : Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular and it gives the error that the system is exactly singular, since it seems to be trying to invert a. So my question is: Can R only solve non-singular linear system...
