(* Note that there is significant overlap between Renegar and BKR in general, so there is some
  similarity between this file and BKR_Proofs.thy
  The main difference is that the RHS vector in Renegar is different from the RHS vector in BKR 
  In BKR, all of the qs are assumed to be relatively prime to p. Renegar removes this assumption. 

  In general, the _R's on definition and lemma names in this file are to emphasize that we are 
  working with Renegar style.

subsection "Showing invertibility preserved when reducing"

(* gauss_jordan_single_rank is critically helpful in this subsection *)
thm conjugatable_vec_space.gauss_jordan_single_rank

thm vec_space.full_rank_lin_indpt

(* Overall:
  Start with a matrix equation.
  Input a matrix, subsets, and signs.
  Drop columns of the matrix based on the 0's on the LHS---so extract a list of 0's. Reduce signs accordingly.
  Then find a list of rows to delete based on using rank (use the transpose result, pivot positions!),
   and delete those rows.  Reduce subsets accordingly.
  End with a reduced system! *)
