  2. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    A variant of Gaussian elimination called Gauss–Jordan elimination can be used for finding the inverse of a matrix, if it exists. If A is an n × n square matrix, then one can use row reduction to compute its inverse matrix, if it exists. First, the n × n identity matrix is augmented to the right of A, forming an n × 2n block matrix [A | I].

  3. LU decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LU_decomposition

    In this case it is faster (and more convenient) to do an LU decomposition of the matrix A once and then solve the triangular matrices for the different b, rather than using Gaussian elimination each time. The matrices L and U could be thought to have "encoded" the Gaussian elimination process.

  4. Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_decomposition

    The system Q(Rx) = b is solved by Rx = Q T b = c, and the system Rx = c is solved by 'back substitution'. The number of additions and multiplications required is about twice that of using the LU solver, but no more digits are required in inexact arithmetic because the QR decomposition is numerically stable.

  5. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    The field of numerical analysis predates the invention of modern computers by many centuries. Linear interpolation was already in use more than 2000 years ago. Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, [5] as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.

  6. Elimination theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_theory

    Elimination theory culminated with the work of Leopold Kronecker, and finally Macaulay, who introduced multivariate resultants and U-resultants, providing complete elimination methods for systems of polynomial equations, which are described in the chapter on Elimination theory in the first editions (1930) of van der Waerden's Moderne Algebra.

  7. Row echelon form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_echelon_form

    The reduced row echelon form of a matrix is unique and does not depend on the sequence of elementary row operations used to obtain it. The variant of Gaussian elimination that transforms a matrix to reduced row echelon form is sometimes called Gauss–Jordan elimination. A matrix is in column echelon form if its transpose is in row echelon form.

  8. Frontal solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_solver

    A frontal solver is an approach to solving sparse linear systems which is used extensively in finite element analysis. [1] Algorithms of this kind are variants of Gauss elimination that automatically avoids a large number of operations involving zero terms due to the fact that the matrix is only sparse. [2]
