I don’t agree if this is really a mathematical question or actually a mathematical question .: D
suppose i have a matrix
{{4/13 + (9 w11)/13 + (6 w12)/13,
6/13 + (9 w21)/13 + (6 w22)/13}, {-(6/13) + (6 w11)/13 + (4 w12)/
13, -(9/13) + (6 w21)/13 + (4 w22)/13}}
with w11, w12, w21, w22as free parameters.
And from visual control, I know that it 3*w11+2*w12can be represented as one variable, but 3*w21+2*w22can be represented as another. Thus, essentially this matrix has only two independent variables. For any matrix of this form, is there a way to automatically reduce the number of independent variables? I think I was fixated on formulating it exactly in a mathematical way.
Share your thoughts. Many thanks.
Edit:
My question is really the following. Such a matrix
{{4/13 + (9 w11)/13 + (6 w12)/13,
6/13 + (9 w21)/13 + (6 w22)/13}, {-(6/13) + (6 w11)/13 + (4 w12)/
13, -(9/13) + (6 w21)/13 + (4 w22)/13}}
{{a+4/13 + (9 w11)/13 + (6 w12)/13,
6/13*c + (9 w21)/13 + (6 w22)/13}, {-(6/13)/d + (6 w11)/13 + (4 w12)/
13, -(9/13) + (6 w21)/13 + (4 w22)/13}}
n ( 2), y1, y2,..., yn, y1, y2,..., yn w11, w12, w21, w22.
