Question:

Consider the tridiagonal matrix

image

a. Find an LU decomposition of A.

b.?Solve the equation?Ax?=(1 1 1 1 1)T by using forward and back substitution.

c.?Find the inverse of?A.

d.?Show how, for any?n?נn?symmetric positive-definite, tridiagonal matrix?A?and any?n-vector?b, to solve the equation?Ax?=?b?in?O(n)?time by performing an LU decomposition. Argue that any method based on forming?A-1 is asymptotically more expensive in the worst case.

e. Show how, for any n ? n nonsingular, tridiagonal matrix A and any n-vector b, to solve the equation Ax = b in O(n) time by performing an LUP decomposition.
