ABSTRACT

Let's evaluate the inverse of matrix A presented in Example 1.7 by the Doolittle LU method:

[ 80 -20 -20]

Evaluate the L and V matrices by Doolittle LU factorization. Thus,

(1.141)

L = [-I ~4 ~ ~] and -1/4 -5/7 I

Let bi = [I 0 0]. Then, Lb; = b l gives

[ 80

V = ~ -20 -20]

35 -25 o 750/7

(1.142)

Solve Vx = b/l to determine XI' Thus,

[ 80 -20 -20] [XI] [I] [2/125]o 35 -25 X2 = 1/4 ---+ XI = 1/100 o 0 750/7 x3 3/7 1/250

(1.143a)

(1.143b)

where X I is the first column of A-I. [1/100 1/30 1/150], and letting bj = [0 0 Thus, A-I is given by

Letting br = [0 1 I] gives xj = [1/250

0] gives xr = 1/150 7/750].
