To solve an overdetermined system of equations in MATLAB, one can use the pseudoinverse method. The pseudoinverse is a generalization of the matrix inverse for nonsquare matrices.
Assuming we have a system of equations with matrix A and vector b such that Ax = b. If A has more rows than columns, then the system is overdetermined (more equations than variables). In this case, the solution x that minimizes the error ||Ax - b|| (least squares solution) can be found using the pseudoinverse method.
Here's how to use the pseudoinverse method in MATLAB:
main.m247 chars12 lines
This will output the solution vector x
that minimizes the error ||Ax - b||.
