Gaussian Elimation with Partial Pivoting Algorithm by hand

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Gaussian Elimination with Partial Pivoting algorithm is applied to the matrix A = [-3 0 4; 5 2 -6; 0 0 1] to derive the matrices P (permutation), L (lower triangular), and U (upper triangular). The relationship PA = LU holds true, where P is the permutation matrix that switches rows, L is defined as a lower triangular matrix, and U is an upper triangular matrix. Given L = [1 0 0; -3/5 1 0; 0 0 1], the task is to determine the matrices P and U by hand.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Gaussian elimination techniques
  • Familiarity with matrix operations and properties
  • Knowledge of permutation matrices
  • Ability to perform manual matrix calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the process of Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting
  • Learn how to construct permutation matrices
  • Practice deriving L and U matrices from given A matrices
  • Explore resources on matrix factorization techniques
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for exams in linear algebra, educators teaching matrix theory, and anyone interested in mastering Gaussian elimination techniques.

Homework Statement



The Gaussian Elimination with Partial Pivoting algorithm when applied to the following matrix

A[-3 0 4; 5 2 -6; 0 0 1]

Will construct matrices P, L, and U

1- What are the defining properties of the matrices P, L and U?

2- What relation do P, L, U and A always satisfy?

3- Given that

L=[1 0 0, -3/5 1 0; 0 0 1]

What are P and U?

Homework Equations



PA=LU

The Attempt at a Solution



How do I do this by hand?
There is rref command on the Ti89, the is lu(A), A\b, inv(A)*b on matlab...

Anyways I know how to get the answer by doing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euIXYdyjlqo" but I don't know how to construct the matrices that he wants, this is not homework is a review for a test on Monday.

I know
P= is the permutation matrix= it switches rows
L= lower triangular matrix
U= upper triangular matrix.

So I need, to this by hand. Can someone send link or help me on how to do this step by step?

Thanks
