Chapter 2. Solution of Linear Algebraic Equations 2.0 Introduction A set of linear algebraic equations looks like this: a11x1 + a12x2 + a13x3 + ··· + a1N xN = b1 a21x1 + a22x2 + a23x3 + ··· + a2N xN = b2 a31x1 + a32x2 + a33x3 + ··· + a3N xN = b3 ··· ··· aM1x1 + aM2x2 + aM3x3 + ··· + aMN xN = bM (2.0.1) Here the N unknowns xj , j = 1, 2,...,N are related by M equations. The coefficients aij with i = 1, 2,...,M and j = 1, 2,...,N are known numbers, as are the right-hand side quantities bi, i = 1, 2,...,M. Nonsingular versus Singular Sets of Equations If N = M then there are as many equations as unknowns, and there is a good chance of solving for a unique solution set of xj ’s. Analytically, there can fail to be a unique solution if one or more of the M equations is a linear combination of the others, a condition called row degeneracy, or if all equations contain certain variables only in exactly the same linear combination, called column degeneracy. (For square matrices, a row degeneracy implies a column degeneracy, and vice versa.) A set of equations that is degenerate is called singular. We will consider singular matrices in some detail in §2.6. Numerically, at least two additional things can go wrong: • While not exact linear combinations of each other, some of the equations may be so close to linearly dependent that roundoff errors in the machine render them linearly dependent at some stage in the solution process. In this case your numerical procedure will fail, and it can tell you that it has failed. 32

2.0 Introduction 33 Accumulated roundoff errors in the solution process can swamp the true solution.This problem particularly emerges if N is too large.The numerical procedure does not fail algorithmically.However,it returns a set of r's that are wrong,as can be discovered by direct substitution back into the original equations.The closer a set ofequations is to being singular the more likely this is to happen,since increasingly close cancellations will occur during the solution.In fact,the preceding item can be viewed as the special case where the loss of significance is unfortunately total. Much of the sophistication of complicated"linear equation-solving packages" is devoted to the detection and/or correction of these two pathologies.As you work with large linear sets of equations,you will develop a feeling for when such sophistication is needed.It is difficult to give any firm guidelines,since there is no such thing as a"typical"linear problem.But here is a rough idea:Linear sets with N as large as 20 or 50 can be routinely solved in single precision(32 bit floating representations)without resorting to sophisticated methods,if the equations are not close to singular.With double precision(60 or 64 bits),this number can readily RECIPES be extended to N as large as several hundred,after which point the limiting factor 会3川 is generally machine time,not accuracy. 9 Even larger linear sets,N in the thousands or greater,can be solved when the coefficients are sparse (that is,mostly zero),by methods that take advantage of the sparseness.We discuss this further in 82.7. At the other end of the spectrum,one seems just as often to encounter linear 9 problems which,by their underlying nature,are close to singular.In this case,you might need to resort to sophisticated methods even for the case of N=10(though rarely for N=5).Singular value decomposition($2.6)is a technique that can sometimes turn singular problems into nonsingular ones,in which case additional 61 sophistication becomes unnecessary. Matrices Equation(2.0.1)can be written in matrix form as Numerical Recipes 10.621 A·X=b (2.0.2) 43106 Here the raised dot denotes matrix multiplication,A is the matrix of coefficients,and b is the right-hand side written as a column vector, (outside Software. a11 012 aIN b1 North a21 A 022 a2N Y (2.0.3) A LaMi aM2 aMN bM By convention,the first index on an element ai;denotes its row,the second index its column.For most purposes you don't need to know how a matrix is stored in a computer's physical memory;you simply reference matrix elements by their two-dimensional addresses,e.g.,a34 =a[3][4].We have already seen,in $1.2. that this C notation can in fact hide a rather subtle and versatile physical storage scheme,"pointer to array of pointers to rows."You might wish to review that section

This problem particularly emerges if N is too large. The numerical procedure does not fail algorithmically. However, it returns a set of x’s that are wrong, as can be discovered by direct substitution back into the original equations. The closer a set of equations is to being singular, the more likely this is to happen, since increasingly close cancellations will occur during the solution. In fact, the preceding item can be viewed as the special case where the loss of significance is unfortunately total. Much of the sophistication of complicated “linear equation-solving packages” is devoted to the detection and/or correction of these two pathologies. As you work with large linear sets of equations, you will develop a feeling for when such sophistication is needed. It is difficult to give any firm guidelines, since there is no such thing as a “typical” linear problem. But here is a rough idea: Linear sets with N as large as 20 or 50 can be routinely solved in single precision (32 bit floating representations) without resorting to sophisticated methods, if the equations are not close to singular. With double precision (60 or 64 bits), this number can readily be extended to N as large as several hundred, after which point the limiting factor is generally machine time, not accuracy. Even larger linear sets, N in the thousands or greater, can be solved when the coefficients are sparse (that is, mostly zero), by methods that take advantage of the sparseness. We discuss this further in §2.7. At the other end of the spectrum, one seems just as often to encounter linear problems which, by their underlying nature, are close to singular. In this case, you might need to resort to sophisticated methods even for the case of N = 10 (though rarely for N = 5). Singular value decomposition (§2.6) is a technique that can sometimes turn singular problems into nonsingular ones, in which case additional sophistication becomes unnecessary. Matrices Equation (2.0.1) can be written in matrix form as A · x = b (2.0.2) Here the raised dot denotes matrix multiplication, A is the matrix of coefficients, and b is the right-hand side written as a column vector, A =    a11 a12 ... a1N a21 a22 ... a2N ··· aM1 aM2 ... aMN    b =    b1 b2 ··· bM    (2.0.3) By convention, the first index on an element aij denotes its row, the second index its column. For most purposes you don’t need to know how a matrix is stored in a computer’s physical memory; you simply reference matrix elements by their two-dimensional addresses, e.g., a34 = a[3][4]. We have already seen, in §1.2, that this C notation can in fact hide a rather subtle and versatile physical storage scheme, “pointer to array of pointers to rows.” You might wish to review that section

Tasks of Computational Linear Algebra We will consider the following tasks as falling in the general purview of this chapter: Solution of the matrix equation A.x b for an unknown vector x,where A 三 is a square matrix of coefficients,raised dot denotes matrix multiplication, and b is a known right-hand side vector ($2.1-82.10). Solution of more than one matrix equation A.xi=bi,for a set of vectors xj,j=1,2,...,each corresponding to a different,known right-hand side vector b;.In this task the key simplification is that the matrix A is held 漆 constant,while the right-hand sides,the b's,are changed(82.1-82.10). Calculation ofthe matrix A which is the matrix inverse ofa square matrix A,i.e.,A.A-1=A-1.A=1,where 1 is the identity matrix (all zeros except for ones on the diagonal).This task is equivalent,for an N x N 9 matrix A,to the previous task with N different bi's (j=1,2,...,N), namely the unit vectors(b;=all zero elements except for I in the jth component).The corresponding x's are then the columns of the matrix inverse of A ($2.1 and $2.3). Calculation of the determinant of a square matrix A(82.3). If M<N,or if M=N but the equations are degenerate,then there OF SCIENTIFIC are effectively fewer equations than unknowns.In this case there can be either no solution,or else more than one solution vector x.In the latter event,the solution space consists of a particular solution xp added to any linear combination of(typically) N-M vectors (which are said to be in the nullspace of the matrix A).The task of finding the solution space of A involves Singular value decomposition of a matrix A. This subject is treated in 82.6. 10621 In the opposite case there are more equations than unknowns,M N.When Numerica this occurs there is,in general,no solution vector x to equation(2.0.1),and the set 431 of equations is said to be overdetermined.It happens frequently,however,that the Recipes best "compromise"solution is sought,the one that comes closest to satisfying all 腿 equations simultaneously.If closeness is defined in the least-squares sense,i.e.,that the sum of the squares of the differences between the left-and right-hand sides of equation(2.0.1)be minimized,then the overdetermined linear problem reduces to a (usually)solvable linear problem,called the Linear least-squares problem The reduced set ofequations to be solved can be written as the N x N set ofequations (AT.A)·x=(AT.b) (2.0.4 where AT denotes the transpose of the matrix A.Equations(2.0.4)are called the normal equations of the linear least-squares problem.There is a close connection

In this task the key simplification is that the matrix A is held constant, while the right-hand sides, the b’s, are changed (§2.1–§2.10). • Calculation of the matrix A−1 which is the matrix inverse of a square matrix A, i.e., A · A−1 = A−1 · A = 1, where 1 is the identity matrix (all zeros except for ones on the diagonal). This task is equivalent, for an N × N matrix A, to the previous task with N different bj ’s (j = 1, 2,...,N), namely the unit vectors (bj = all zero elements except for 1 in the jth component). The corresponding x’s are then the columns of the matrix inverse of A (§2.1 and §2.3). • Calculation of the determinant of a square matrix A (§2.3). If MN. When this occurs there is, in general, no solution vector x to equation (2.0.1), and the set of equations is said to be overdetermined. It happens frequently, however, that the best “compromise” solution is sought, the one that comes closest to satisfying all equations simultaneously. If closeness is defined in the least-squares sense, i.e., that the sum of the squares of the differences between the left- and right-hand sides of equation (2.0.1) be minimized, then the overdetermined linear problem reduces to a (usually) solvable linear problem, called the • Linear least-squares problem. The reduced set of equations to be solved can be written as the N ×N set of equations (AT · A) · x = (AT · b) (2.0.4) where AT denotes the transpose of the matrix A. Equations (2.0.4) are called the normal equations of the linear least-squares problem. There is a close connection

For solving sets of linear equations, Gauss-Jordan elimination produces both the solution of the equations for one or more right-hand side vectors b, and also the matrix inverse A−1. However, its principal weaknesses are (i) that it requires all the right-hand sides to be stored and manipulated at the same time, and (ii) that when the inverse matrix is not desired, Gauss-Jordan is three times slower than the best alternative technique for solving a single linear set (§2.3). The method’s principal strength is that it is as stable as any other direct method, perhaps even a bit more stable when full pivoting is used (see below).

For these reasons, Gauss-Jordan elimination should usually not be your method of first choice, either for solving linear equations or for matrix inversion.
