Systems of Linear Equations
Published in Rowan Garnier, John Taylor, Discrete Mathematics, 2020
The systematic steps required to reduce the augmented matrix to reduced row echelon form are exactly those which we employed to find the inverse of a matrix A when we used elementary row operations to convert the partitioned matrix (A I) to (I A-l). The sequence of steps is given on page 278 and illustrated in the flowchart in figure 6.1. In fact, if A (the matrix of coefficients) is a square non-singular matrix, the process of Gauss-Jordan elimination will inevitably result in a reduced row echelon form which consists of the appropriate identity matrix with an extra column on the right-hand side.

Like row echelon form, the reduced row echelon form of the matrix is the result of a series of row operations that transform a matrix into the row-equivalent upper-triangular matrix. However, each row is scaled by the multiplicative inverse of the leading entry of the row. In other words, the row’s entries are divided by the leading entry. All of the leading entries in the matrix should be 1 in a reduced row echelon matrix.

All the other teachers in this category came up with the appropriate augmented matrix on which they carried out row reduction as in Step 4a of Table 1, but were not able to bring it to row echelon form. An analysis of the augmented matrix shows that only three elementary row operations were required to get the matrix to reduced row echelon form, yet the teachers struggled with the process. There were 20 teachers who made calculation errors or applied inappropriate row operations in working with the correct augmented matrix. Eight teachers made errors because they applied incorrect or inappropriate row operations, while 12 teachers made careless errors in manipulating the numbers. Some of these careless errors led to the teachers obtaining unique solutions, and without checking, they incorrectly deduced that the original vector v could be expressed as a linear combination of the three vectors and

Let n = 3, d = 3, and consider the homogenisation of the Motzkin polynomial, which is positive semi-definite, but does not admit a wSOS+ decomposition on Motzkin (1965). By using Algorithm 1, one obtains the following polynomials that constitute a d-truncated Gröbner basis of the saturation , Hence, in order to find a quadratic representation f of p through g1, g2, use Algorithm 2 with inputs p and g1, g2. The reduced row echelon form of the matrix Q computed at Step 5 of such a procedure is Since the (4,29)th entry of the matrix is not a pivot, Algorithm 4 has failed, due to the fact that the Motzkin polynomial cannot be expressed as a wSOS+.

A -matrix F is in partial reduced row echelon form (PRREF), if for some it has the form with a -matrix of rank t in RREF, a -matrix , and a -matrix .
