Hi Shame,
your condition g1+g2+g3+..g13=13 is simply an additional
equation.Therefore, you have 4 instead of 3 equations. Your 3x13 matrix
M becomes a 4 x 13 matrix with and additional row of {1,1,1...} and your
equations read:
M.g == rhs, where g is the searched solution and rhs the vector
{0,0,..,0,13}. You have now 4 equations and 13 variables. Therefore,
there maybe many solutions. You can now either use LinearSolve, this
returns one of the many possible solution. The rest you may get from the
NullSpace. Or you can use Solve that gives you 4 g's as a function of
the remaining g's
hope this helps, Daniel
