Solving a symbolic linear matrix equation

Posted 11 years ago
Hiya,

I'm trying to solve the linear equation A.x = b for x, where A is a 24 by 24 matrix with symbolic entries and b = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1}. (You can find my notebook in the attachment) My computer seems to be taking quite some time to do this. I tried both the 'Solve' and 'LinearSolve' functions with no result after waiting for a few hours. I am suspecting that these 'naive' methods for solving this equation will not get me anywhere and I was wondering if there would be some method to tackle this, without giving my matrix entries numerical values, or if I should forget about solving my problem in this form.

Best regards,
Maxim

Thanks for your reply. It confirms what I already feared, so I guess I'll need to convert my problem to a numerical one.
