2. Lecture Recap We looked at the Gauss-Jordan method of inverting the matrix ‘A’. This uses an augmented matrix, e.g. Last week we looked at methods of solving linear equations. We took the equation And deduced that if we can find the inverse of A we can solve for the unknowns. I.e. Matrix multiplication is a row on column operation. Hence, by using row operations to turn the l.h.s into the identity matrix we can find the inverse of A.

3. Lecture Recap If we are only concerned with finding ‘x’ in I.e. if we start with Then we can use the row reduction method. Hence we do not need to compute the inverse. If the augmented matrix is And convert this to Then converting this matrix to Then we have found A-1 Gives us ‘x’

4. Homogenous Sets of Equations Consider the following set of linear equations R2 = R2 – R1 R3 = R3 – R1 x + y + z = 0 x + 2y = 0 x - 3y + az = 0 R3 = R3 + 4.R2 Use the row reduction technique to find the value of ‘a’ that gives an infinite number of non-trivial solutions. Thus a = 5 gives infinitely many solutions. Notice that Thus the determinant = 0 if a = 5

5. Homogenous Sets of Equations Any set of equations Ax = 0 is known as a homogenous set. It is a set of equations with zero right hand sides. Then Clearly, the equations have the trivial solution x = 0. There may also exist non-trivial solutions. Hence, if det A ≠ 0 then only a trivial solution exists. Recall that, if However, if det A = 0 then we can prove that an infinite number of non-trivial solutions exist.

6. Jacobi Iteration So far we have met a number of techniques for solving systems of linear equations. We will now examine a technique that provides approximate solutions to linear systems. We have used determinants (Cramer’s rule). We will be looking at the Jacobi method of iteration. We have the Gauss-Jordan inverse matrix method. With repeated application of Jacobi’s method the approximate solutions approach the exact answers. Finally, we have used the Row Reduction technique (Gaussian elimination).

7. Jacobi Iteration Step 2 It is most convenient to explain the process using an example. Rewrite the equations in the form Say we had the simple simultaneous equations Where ‘n’ is the iteration Step 1 Step 3 Rearrange these to make x and y the subjects. I.e. Make a reasonable guess at the answer. I.e.

8. Jacobi Iteration Step 5 Step 4 Use these answers to perform the next iteration Perform the first iteration Therefore thus After 12 iterations we get the exact answer (to 4 d.p.)

9. Jacobi Iteration Question Find an approximate solution to Perform 5 iterations and take x0 = 0 and y0 = 3 as your initial guess The equations are rearranged to make x and y the subjects.
