How rare is it for a sparse rectangular matrix to have an exact solution?

By "solution", I mean a PseudoInverse. By "exact", I mean a formula, not a fit (such as SVD) or a decomposition.

In P v NP, what happens if we define time and cycles to be equivalent?

I don't see how counting steps done on paper with pencil is subject to any applicable physics, so I see no obvious violation of the laws of physics. (NKS?)

Does anyone know HRM channel in a 2 plex QIAGEN Rotor- Gene Q qPCR can be used as a separate channel?

I am going to have 3 different probes in my qPCR work that I am going to do. But I realized that the machine we have in the lab is a Rotor-Gene Q 2plex HRM Platform, saying it has green, yellow,...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

How to eliminate Steady state error from Reinforcement learning genetic algorithm code?

The following code (see 1st 2 images attached) is used to produce PID controller values that are designed to control the system (G). The code finds the PID controller values (noted as k) by using...
