System of linear algebraic equations

Consider the system of linear algebraic equations given by

.

.

Which can be written in the matrix equation form as

Here • A is the Co-efficient matrix • X the solution matrix (which to be calculated) and• B is the constant matrix.

Numerical Matrix methods

• Gauss-Jordan Method

• Crout’s Method

• Iterative Method

• Gauss-Seidel method

Crout’s MethodConsider the matrix equation of the system of 3 equations in

3 unknowns

We write matrix A as a product of an Upper and Lower

Triangular matrices[1]

Crout’s Method (cont.)

Since (1)

Gives (2)

Let us take (3)

is some unknown matrix which is to be evaluated

Then (4)

Therefore to find the solution of the system (1) we will have to solve (4) and then (3), but before that we will have to evaluate the values of L and U

Algorithm for Crout’s Method

Use the following steps to solve the System of Linear algebraic equations. • Step 1: Write

• Step 2: Calculate the Product of L and U

Algorithm for Crout’s Method (cont.)

• Step 3: write and

• Step 4: Solve by forward substitution

• Step 5: Solve by backward substitution
