Rewriting a symbolic expression as a linear combination of others
I'm trying to solve something that might not be too hard (mathematically), but I'm a bit lost and want to do it with SymPy. I
Two variables are listed here X
, Y
(they are symbolic, I do not have access to any of the values) and known constants a
, b
..., g
. In a piece of existing software that I cannot change, from these
X' = a * X + b
Y' = c * Y + d
Z' = e * X * Y + f
... In other other existing software which I cannot change, I have different values, similar calculation is done. I'm simplifying it a lot for the purposes of this question, but to get the idea:
X' and Y' like above Z_ = (a * x + b) * ( c * y + d) - g
To connect between Z'
, and Z_
I want to express z_ as a linear combination of X'
, Y'
, Z'
and 1:
Z_ == 𝛂 * X' + 𝛃 * Y' + 𝛄 * Z' + 𝛅.
How can I solve it for 𝛂
, 𝛃
, 𝛄
, 𝛅
using Sympy?
I know that I could have probably avoided SymPy, expressing each of the variables X'
, Y'
, Z'
, Z_
linear combinations X
, Y
, X*Y
and 1, and making matrix algebra. But since my problem is actually more complex and the details may change in the future, I would really appreciate some software help.
