When the matrix of coefficients is singular.
Consider the linear system of equations AX = YwhereX is a n x 1 matrix of variables,Y is a n x 1 matrix of constants, andA is an n x n matrix of coefficients.Provided A is not a singular matrix, A has an inverse, A-1, an n x n matrix.Premultiplying by A-1 gives A-1AX = A-1Y or X = A-1Y, the solution to the linear system.
A = coefficient matrix (n x n) B = constant matrix (n x 1)
An idempotent matrix is a matrix which gives the same matrix if we multiply with the same. in simple words,square of the matrix is equal to the same matrix. if M is our matrix,then MM=M. then M is a idempotent matrix.
