Consider the m × n system of linear equations
| $$\mathbf{Ax=b}$$ | (35) |
If m = n and A is not singular, Equation 35 possesses a unique solution and is referred to as a fully determined system of equations. When m > n (or m = n and A is singular), Equation 35 is an underdetermined system of equations. Otherwise, m < n and Equation 35 is overdetermined system of equations.
