Notes
A standard result in linear algebra is that a solution to a system of linear equations of type \(Ax=b\), where A is \(m\times n\), b is \(m \times 1\), exists if and only if the rank of extended matrix [A|b] coincides with rank(A). When a square matrix A is non-singular, this condition holds for all vectors b, however this condition will fail when rank(A) is not full if vector b is linearly independent from columns of A.
Although it is possible that \(f^1_y\) is zero due to a specific steady state calibration.
