# Gausses Method
|
|
|
|
## Theorem
|
|
If a linear system is changed to another by one of these operations:
|
|
|
|
1. an equation is swapped with another
|
|
2. an equation has both sides multiplied by a non zero constant.
|
|
3. an equation is replaced by the sum of itself and a multiple of another
|
|
|
|
→ Then the two systems have the same set of solutions.
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
The three operations from the theorem are the *elementary reduction operations*, or *row operations*, or *Gaussian operations*.
|
|
|
|
They are *swapping*, *multiplying by a scalar* and *row combination*
|
|
|
|
## Solution Space
|
|
|
|
### Systems without a unique solution
|
|
|
|
When using gausses method and in the echelon form the linear system produces something like $0 = -1$ we know the system does not have a solution.
|
|
|
|
### Systems with infinitely many solutions
|
|
|
|
When we do not have a single $variable = constant$ stage in the echelon form we know we have infinitely many solutions.
|
|
|
|
When one of the rows is $0 = 0$ or $1 = 1$ etc. we know that one of the input rows contained redundant information. |
