Hi Tom,
LUdecomposition() doesn't works for under determined systems, you can use ,
linsolve(), It supports all types of systems:
In [1]: from sympy import *
In [2]: from sympy.solvers.solveset import linsolve
In [3]: A = Matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])
In [4]: b = Matrix([4, 13, 22])
In [5]: system = (A, b)
In [6]: r, s, t = symbols('r s t')
In [7]: linsolve((A, b), (r, s, t))
Out[8]: {(t + 2, -2⋅t + 1, t)}
If you are interested in Matrix form results, you can
use gauss_jordan_solve()
In [3]: A = Matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])
In [4]: b = Matrix([4, 13, 22])
In [5]: sol, params = A.gauss_jordan_solve(b)
In [7]: init_printing()
In [8]: sol
Out[8]:
⎡ τ₀ + 2 ⎤
⎢ ⎥
⎢-2⋅τ₀ + 1⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎣ τ₀ ⎦
Please note that, both these functions are *not available in any release*,
you can use them from the *development version*
