What are the implications when matrix's lowest eigenvalue is equal to 0? I have a task to solve where only eigenvalues are given and I need to calculate a matrix condition number. The formula for it requires division by the lowest eigenvalue (which is zero). In such case the condition number cannot be calculated.
Can equation system be solved if the lowest matrix eigenvalue is 0?

Recall that a matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is non-zero, and the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues. So, having an eigenvalue of zero means that the matrix is not invertible. 
Since the condition number measures how close to singular your matrix is, with larger values implying closer to singular, it makes sense that you cannot calculate it! 
It is worth mentioning that for a non-singular, square matrix, the condition number induced by the $2$-norm is $\kappa_2(A)=\sigma_1/\sigma_n$, where $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_n$ denote the largest and smallest singular values of $A$, not the eigenvalues. These are not always the same as the eigenvalues of $A$ (although, if $A$ is singular, then $A^TA$ does not have full rank, and so we   will have a singular value of $0$).
