In a matrix, the rank is always ≤ the minimum of (m, n),
where m, n indicate the dimensions of the matrix (m × n).
Types of systems
-
SCD = Sistema Compatible Determinat (una solució)
→ Consistent System with a Unique Solution -
SCI = Sistema Compatible Indeterminat (infinites solucions)
→ Consistent System with Infinitely Many Solutions -
SI = Sistema Incompatible
→ Inconsistent System (no solution)
