3.3 Reduced Row-Echelon Matrices

The result of the process of Gaussian elimination described in Section 3.2 is not uniquely determined. That is, two different sequences of elementary row operations, both starting with the same matrix A, may yield two different echelon matrices, each of course still row equivalent to A. For instance, the two echelon matrices

[123045006]and[111022003] (1)

are readily seen (as in Problem 31) to be row equivalent. Hence it is possible to begin with an appropriate 3×3 matrix and derive by Gaussian elimination either of the two different echelon matrices in (1).

A full understanding of the structure of systems of linear equations depends on the definition of a special class of echelon matrices, a class having the ...
