Question

Here is the problem I need help with:

I need to write the answer in code form, but not in full code. Somewhere about 3 to 9 lines of code. This is just a specialization of the general algorithm to solve a system via Gaussian Elimination. So I need to do the 2 phases: 1) eliminate values below the main diagonal, 2) back substitution on the upper triangular result.

So the elimination phase should involve a single loop whose body eliminates a[i] and b[i]. Each involves its own multiplier. Afterwards there will be another simple loop to handle the back solve.

The answer I was able to come up with is this:

for (i = 1; i < n; i++)  

               a[i+1] = a[i+1] – (b[i]/a[i])*c[i+1];

//endfor

x[n] = b[n] / a[n];   

x[n-1] = (b[n-1] – c[n]*x[n]) / a[n-1];

for (i = n-2; i > 0; i--)     

        x[i] = (b[i] – c[i+1]*x[i+1] – d[i+2]*x[i+2]) / a[i];   

//endfor

I'm not sure if this is the correct answer for this problem. If it isn't, which portions of the code do I need to change?

Explanation / Answer

Solution

Answer

% find the solution to Ux = b , where U is an nxn upeer tringular matrix

Xn = bn/unn

for i = n-1:- 1 :1 do

sum = 0.0

for j = i+1 :n do

sum = sum + UijXj

   end for

x(i) = (b(i) - sum)/Uij

end for

return x

end function
