Rouche-Capelli Theorem

Algebra

The Rouche-Capelli Theorem is a result of linear algebra that determines the number of solutions of a system of linear equations from the ranks of its coefficient matrix and its augmented matrix. The same result is known under several other names depending on country, including the Kronecker-Capelli theorem, the Rouche-Fontene theorem, the Rouche-Frobenius theorem, and simply the Frobenius theorem.
