1. Overdetermined systems ( more equations than unknowns ) have other issues.2. The h-principle is the most powerful method to solve overdetermined systems . 3. Least squares can estimate an overdetermined system . 4. On Some Overdetermined Systems in Partial Derivatives. 5. If an overdetermined system has any solutions, necessarily some equations are linear combinations of the others. 6. The method of ordinary least squares can be used to find an approximate solution to overdetermined systems . 7. An overdetermined system is almost always inconsistent ( it has no solution ) when constructed with random coefficients. 8. This is a massively overdetermined system , meaning that the number of equations is much larger than the number of unknowns. 9. I'm running a least squares algorithm for multilateration compensating for error and noise, meaning I have an overdetermined system . 10. The only cases where the overdetermined system does in fact have a solution are demonstrated in Diagrams # 4, 5, and 6.
