Inaccurate linear equation system with a restricted-rank error matrix

From MaRDI portal





The author studies a system of linear equations \[ (A + Y P^T)x = b, \] where \(A\) and \(P\) are constant \(m\times n\) and \(n\times r\)-matrices, respectively; \(Y\) and \(b\) can be taken from given sets. The basic aim of the paper is to show that the solution set analysis can be simplified substantially provided the rank of the error matrix is restricted even if the assumption of interval character of data errors is replaced by a more general one. (It s well known that the solution set of an interval linear equation system is a union of convex polyhedral. The number of these polyhedral increases, in general exponentially, with the problem size. As a consequence, the problem of finding the interval hull of the solution set is \textbf{NP}-hard --- J. Rohn and V. Kreinovich's results). In the case of rank one error matrices the author shows that we have to look into at most two convex subsets. A dual approach to describing the solution set is discussed, too.
