Session Goal

The session aimed to analyze the matrix A when ( \alpha = 0 ) and apply the Gauss-Seidel method for solving the equation ( Ax = b ).

Key Activities

  • Conducted matrix analysis to determine the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues of matrix A.
  • Explored the implications of diagonal dominance on the convergence of the Gauss-Seidel method.
  • Computed the iteration matrix for the Gauss-Seidel method, including matrix decomposition and spectral radius calculation.
  • Addressed error handling and implemented a retry mechanism for computational errors.
  • Recomputed the Gauss-Seidel iteration matrix due to previous processing issues.

Achievements

  • Confirmed that strict diagonal dominance is not satisfied, affecting convergence guarantees.
  • Successfully calculated the spectral radius of the iteration matrix.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine the computation process and clarify manual calculations for improved accuracy and efficiency.
