Solve a system of linear equations Ax=kb
A is a matrix with m*n elements,
A = \left[\stackrel{a_{11}\; \ldots \;a_{1n}}{ \vdots \ \ddots \ \vdots} {a_{m1}\cdots a_{mn} \\} \right]
\sum _{j=1} ^{n}a_{ij}=1 ,0\leq a_{ij}\leq1, 1\leq i\leq m,1\leq j \leq n , m > n
b is a vector with m*1 elements,
0 \leq b_{i} \leq 1 \;,\; 1 \leq i \leq m,
x is the unknown vector with n*1 elements,
0 \leq x_{j} \leq 1\:,\:1 \leq j \leq n,
k is an arbitrary constant which makes x satisfy the system of equations.
find the unknown vector x.

I think it's not proper to solve the system by finding the pseudo-inverse matrix of A,
because some elements of x are than 0.

Your suggestions are welcome, thanks!

What exactly do you want? You have a general matrix equation, restricted only by the requirement that the sum of each row be 1 (a stochastic matrix?). There is no one solution. How you would solve it, even whether it has a solution, depends strongly on the actual values.
 
Thank you professor HallsofIvy for your reply!
The attachment is a pdf file, which contains the data in the equations.

Could anyone give any hint?
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
