Explicit description of 2D parametric solution sets (Q766227)

The following linear algebraic system is considered \[ A(p)\cdot x=b(p),\quad p=(p_1,...,p_m )^T, \] \[ a_{ij} (p):=a_{ij,0} +\sum\limits_{\mu =1}^m {a_{ij,\mu } p_\mu ,\quad b_i (p):=b_{i,0} +\sum\limits_{\mu =1}^m {b_{i,\mu } p_\mu ,} } \] \[ a_{ij,\mu } ,\,\,b_{i,\mu } \in R,\quad \mu =0,...,m,\quad i,j=1,...,n. \] The elements of the matrix and right-hand side vector depend linearly on a \(m\)-tuple of parameters \(p=(p_1 ,...,p_m)\), the exact values of which are unknown but bounded within given intervals. The modification of the parameter elimination is introduced. Based on the modified parameter elimination process the parameter elimination in 2-dimensional linear systems involving an arbitrary number of parameters is studied. By proving superfluous and redundant character of some inequalities a minimal explicit description of 2D parametric solution sets are derived. The explicit solution set characterization is illustrated on some numerical examples and compared to descriptions obtained by other approaches.
