Hello Everyone!

I've been trying to solve an equation and got to this place: $\sum _{j=1} ^K (x_j - b_j) = 0$ which gives $e^T x = e^T b$. Now I need to solve for $x$ i.e. find $x$ in terms of the b. How can I do that?

Thank you for the help!

Can we have some more context, or perhaps the original problem?

Definitely,

The original problem is to find the minimum of the following function: $T(x) = ||y-Ax||^2 + ||x-b||^2$ where the system y = Ax is overdetermined. Of course we already know the closed form solution of the first norm (linear least squares). My question was regarding the second norm. What I want to do is to try to find a closed form solution for the minimum of the second norm, and add the two solutions up. What I did was, similar to the approach of finding the linear least squares solution, differentiate the second norm with respect to $x_j$s and set to zero. I got what is there in my first post, and now I'm stuck there.

Thank you.
 

Thread 'Trouble understanding an online solution to an exercise in Dummit & Foote'

##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...

Thread 'Decomposition into irreps of compact Lie group'

When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
