Sufficient conditions for nontrivial solutions
If $A$ is a $m\times n$ matrix such that $m\lt n$, then $Ax=0$ has a nontrivial solution.Concepts
We use row equivalenceHypothesis
We require $m\lt n$ for the $n-m$ free variables.Results
Coming soonProof
Let $R$ be the row reduced echelon form that is row equivalent to $A$. Then there are at most $m$ isolated variables. Since $n\gt m$, then there exists at least $n-m\gt 0$ free variables.Sufficient conditions for nontrivial solutions
