Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Solving System of Linear Equations using Gauss Elimination and Gauss-Jordan Methods”

• Solve system of linear equations using Scilab
• Develop Scilab code to solve linear equations

• Ubuntu 12.04 as the operating system
• and Scilab 5.3.3 version

• should have basic knowledge of Scilab
• and should know how to solve Linear Equations.

To learn Scilab, please refer to the relevant tutorials available on the Spoken Tutorial website.

• Finite collection of
• linear equations
• of the same set of variables

Given a system of equations

• A x equal to b
• with m equations and
• n unknowns

• We write the coefficients of the variables a one to a n
• along with the constants b one to b n of the system of equations
• in one matrix called the augmented matrix

We do so by performing row wise manipulation of the matrix.

This defines how many digits should be displayed in the answer.

Highlight B

if n ~= n1

error('gaussianelimination - Matrix A must be square');

If n and n one are not equal , then we display a message that Matrix A must be square.

elseif n ~= m1

error('gaussianelimination - incompatible dimension of A & b');

C=[A b];

This matrix C is called augmented matrix.

n=size(A,1);

for k=1:n-1

for i=k+1:n

factor=A(i,k)/A(k,k);

for j=k+1:n

A(i,j)=A(i,j)-factor*A(k,j);

end

b(i)=b(i)-factor*b(k);

end

end

This code converts the augmented matrix to upper triangular matrix form.

x(n)=b(n)/A(n,n);

for i=n-1:-1:1

sum=0;

for j=i+1:n

sum=sum+A(i,j)*x(j);

end

x(i)=(b(i)-sum)/A(i,i);

end

• Once the upper triangular matrix is obtained, we take the last row and find the value of the variable in that row.
• Then once one variable is solved, we take this variable to solve the other variables.
• Thus the system of linear equations is solved.

So we enter the values of matrix A.

• The first step is to form the augmented matrix.
• To do this place the coefficient matrix A and the right hand side matrix b together in one matrix.
• Then we perform row operations to convert matrix A to diagonal form.
• In diagonal form, only the elements a i i are non-zero. Rest of the elements are zero.

We do this to get diagonal element equal to one.

The resulting value of the elements of each row of the right hand side matrix gives the value of each variable.

format

A=input("Enter the coeffiecient matrix : ")

b=input("Enter the right-hand side matrix : ")

function [x] = GaussJordanElimination( A, b )

[m, n] = size( A )

[r, s] = size( b )

if ( m <> r ) then

error("Error: matrix A and vector b are incompatible sizes")

end

for k = 1 : 1 : m

indices = [ 1 : 1 : k-1, k+1 : 1 : m ]

// For all rows below and above the pivot, subtract a multiple

// of the pivoting row to get a zero

for i = indices

multiplier = C(i, k) / C(k,k)

for j = k+1 : n

C(i, j) = C(i, j) - multiplier * C(k, j)

end

end

end

Here pivot refers to the first non-zero element of a column.

x = zeros( m, s )

for i = 1 : 1 : m

for j = 1 : 1 : s

x(i, j) = C(i, m+j) / C(i, i)

end

end

• we divide the right hand side part of augmented matrix
• by the corresponding diagonal element
• to get the value of each variable.

x(i, j) = C(i, m+j) / C(i, i)

return x
