An example of a 2 ╳ 3 matrix is shown below. [3−2011−7] To use Gaussian elimination, the first step is to convert the system of linear equation into an augmented matrix, which is a matrix combined with a column on the right side, separated by a vertical line. To convert ...
Having no solution is not the only special case. As an example, assume we have the following system of equations, {−x+y=−8,3x−3y=−24. (5.23) Performing Gaussian elimination on the first variable can be done by adding three times the first row to the second row. This giv...
Gaussian elimination is an algorithm that allows us to transform a system of linear equations into an equivalent system (i.e., a system having the same solutions as the original one) in row echelon form. Elementary row operations are performed on the system until the system is in row ...
The previous example shows how Gaussian elimination reveals an inconsistent system. A slight alteration of that system (for example, changing the constant term “7” in the third equation to a “6”) will illustrate a system with infinitely many solutions. Example 7: Solve the following system ...
In his (1809) worked example, Gauss employed a solution technique which may possibly be associated with the ancient method, see Farebrother (1999), but in (1811) he outlined the steps of a solution technique that identified the elimination procedure which now goes by his name. This procedure...
EXAMPLE 2 Using pivoting and Gaussian elimination, solve the following system: \[x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 2\] \[x_1 - x_2 + x_3 = 1\] \[-x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 1\] ANSWER: First of all, the associated matrix \(A\) and vector \(b\) are: ...

An effective alternative is the singular value decomposition (SVD), but there are other less expensive choices, such as QR decomposition with pivoting (so-called rank-revealing QR factorization), which are still more numerically robust than Gaussian elimination. 一个有效的替代者是奇异值分解(SVD),...
