up vote 13 down vote favorite 4 Let $x_1,ldots ,x_n$ be $n$ distinct points in $mathbb{R}^3$ . Consider the $ntimes n$ real symmetric matrix $A$ defined by $A_{ij}:=|x_i-x_j|$ . I would like to show that $$Ker,A;cap,{vinmathbb{R}^n,:, v_1+v_2 +ldots +v_n=0}={0}$$ Thank you for any suggestions. linear-algebra matrices share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 16 at 15:10 Capublanca 940 5 14 1 ...
