The transposed equations of a linear algebraic system are the linear equations with the transposed matrix as coefficient matrix.

In the case of linear integral equations (cf. Integral equation), transposed equations are equations with kernels $K(x,y)$ and $K(y,x)$.

Transposed equations are also called adjoint equations or associated equations.

Comments

The transposed equation of an integral equation plays an important role in the Fredholm alternative.
