That is,the elements of L (or Ly.L.L:cannot become too large. 5.Numerical results We now present the results of numerical experiments for solving Eqs.(1) and (11).All experiments were performed in MATLAB on a PC-386 computer. Take Am=a=Hn+Inm∈Rm" where Hm= [1 i+i-1 is an m x m Hilbert matrix and/is an m x m unit matrix. Also take B=h,l=maxi.i川∈R"m and Cw=c=UG,U∈R
