Matrix Operations and Linear Equation Solvers for MQL4

Summary

This document describes a matrix utility for MQL4 that stores a matrix in a one-dimensional array and provides operations for setting dimensions and values, copying data, arithmetic, transposition, determinants, rank, minors, and inversion. It also lists functions for appending or copying rows and columns, and for displaying matrices in alerts.

For solving linear systems, the library offers Cramer's rule, an inverse-matrix method, and Gaussian elimination, alongside a system check that distinguishes no solution, a unique solution, or infinitely many solutions. The document gives an example array representing a two-row, three-column matrix and identifies a companion script that demonstrates the three solvers. It does not explain the algorithms' implementation, numerical stability, error handling, or performance, so those details cannot be assessed from the description. The material is a programming reference for general numerical work; it presents no trading strategy, market data, or empirical results.

Key ideas

• The library stores matrix entries in a one-dimensional array and tracks the matrix dimensions.
• It provides common matrix operations, including addition, multiplication, transposition, determinant calculation, and inversion.
• Rank and minor functions support analysis of matrix structure.
• Three listed methods solve linear systems: Cramer's rule, inverse matrices, and Gaussian elimination.
• The system check distinguishes inconsistent systems, unique solutions, and infinitely many solutions.
