Abstract.Let Ax = b be an mxn system of linear equations with rank m and integer coefficients. Denote by Y the maximum of the absolute values of the m x m minors of the augmented matrix (A, b). It is proved that if the system has an integral solution, then it has an integral solution x = (x,) with max |jc,| < Y . The bound is sharp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
