I have a Matrix (M) and want to extract the actual equations from the following M.x=x; where x is a vector of variables that I want to solve for. I would like to be able to extract the actual equations (the values for M are determined elsewhere), for example, 3 x1 + 4 x2 + 2 x3 = x1. How can this be done in Maple? Thanks. Brian

I have the following matrix solution problem. M * v = v where M is a square matrix (integer values). v is a vector of variables whose values I want to solve for. I cannot figure out how I can get Maple to do this. Do I need to use some other software? It seems to me that I should be able to obtain a soltion to the problem. Is there a reason why there may be no solution? Thanks.
