Study Notes
Gaussian Elimination Method
- A technique used to solve simultaneous algebraic equations represented as Ax = b.
- Transforms the coefficient matrix into an upper triangular matrix (Ux = c).
- Comprises two phases: elimination and solution.
- Key operations include multiplying an equation by a non-zero constant, adding multiples of one equation to another, and interchanging equations.
- The system Ax = b is equivalent to Ux = c, provided operations are correctly applied.
- Matrix A is considered invertible if the resulting U matrix is invertible.
Gauss Elimination Process
- Eliminates variables from equations sequentially:
- Start by eliminating x1 from the second and third equations with a non-zero a11.
- Then eliminate x2 from the third equation, assuming a22' ≠ 0.
- Apply back substitution to solve for variables starting from the last equation.
- If a pivot is zero, swap with a lower equation containing a non-zero element to maintain progress.
Gauss-Jordan Method
- Modifies the equation Ax = b into a diagonal set represented by Ix = b', where I indicates the identity matrix.
- Applies the same row operations as Gaussian elimination but eliminates all off-diagonal elements, making all main diagonal entries equal to 1.
- Steps include checking for non-zero pivots, normalizing pivots, and eliminating other column elements iteratively.
Jacobi's Iteration Method
- Known as the method of simultaneous displacements, particularly effective for predominantly diagonal systems.
- Converts equations into an iterative format, adjusting the unknowns based on previous values.
- Assumes initial guess of zero for each variable; iterations continue until desired accuracy is achieved.
- Convergence of the method depends on specific criteria related to the diagonal dominance of the coefficient matrix.
Key Examples and Practice Problems
- Demonstrates solving methodologies for specific linear equations using both Gaussian elimination and Gauss-Jordan methods.
- For practice, various systems are provided for solving via techniques:
- Gaussian elimination with systems like 4x + y + 2z = 11.
- Gauss-Jordan methods with equations such as 2x + 3y - z = 10.
- Jacobi’s method for systems including 26x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 = 12.6.
