Abstract
In this chapter we deal with the numerical solution of a system of n linear equations
or, in short notation,
where A ∈ Mat n (R) is a real (n, n)-matrix and b, x ∈ Rn are real n-vectors. Before starting to compute the solution x, we should ask ourselves: When is a linear equation system solvable at all?
