Suppose you have an equation of the form $Hx=Ky$, where $x,y$ are vectors of length $n,m$ respectively ($m>n$) and $H,K$ are matrices of orders $n \times n,n \times m$ respectively. Is there some kind of name for it?

  • $\begingroup$ If you write this as $(H|K)(x|-y)^T=0$, isn't this just the kernel of a family of linear equations? $\endgroup$ Jun 6, 2012 at 16:34
