📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to analyze the convergence of iterative methods (Gauss-Seidel and Jacobi) for solving linear systems and to compute the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues of a matrix.
Key Activities
- Convergence Analysis: Explored necessary conditions for the convergence of Gauss-Seidel and Jacobi methods, focusing on matrix properties such as diagonal dominance and positive definiteness using SymPy.
- Implementation in SymPy: Developed checks for diagonal dominance and positive definiteness in matrices through symbolic computation.
- Eigenvalue Computation: Addressed issues with computing the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues, including retrying computations and debugging the execution environment.
- Screening Agent Initialization: Prepared the assistant to screen and annotate messages for organizational purposes.
Achievements
- Established a structured approach for convergence analysis of iterative methods.
- Implemented and tested conditions for diagonal dominance and positive definiteness using SymPy.
- Successfully computed the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues of matrix A, setting the stage for further analysis.
Pending Tasks
- Further analyze the positive definiteness and numerical evaluation of eigenvalues to ensure robustness of the solutions.
