mathematica gurus--
Here's a frustrating problem, which seems to be simple. I can calculate a
matrix by hand and enter it into Solve or Reduce and get the correct
relationships:
In[108]:=
mat = Partition[{-0.2, 0.1, 0, 0.1, -0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, -0.1}, 3];
Reduce[mat.{x1, x2, x3} == {0, 0, 0}, {x1, x2, x3}]
Out[109]=
x1 == 0.5 x2 && x3 == 2.5 x2
However, if I try to manipulate the matrix in Mathematica then solve, it doesn't work:
In[110]:=
mat1 = Partition[{0.8, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.7, 0.2, 0, 0.1, 0.9}, 3];
imat = IdentityMatrix[Length[mat1]];
newmat = Transpose[mat1] - imat;
In[113]:=
newmat == mat
Out[113]=
True
In[114]:=
newmat === mat
Out[114]=
False
In[115]:=
Reduce[newmat.{x1, x2, x3} == {0, 0, 0}, {x1, x2, x3}]
Out[115]=
x1 == 0. && x2 == 0. && x3 == 0.
any input?
