1 Gauss and Gauss Jordan Elimination

2 Row-echelon form: (,, ) A matri is said to be in row echelon form if it has the following three properties. () All row consisting entirel of zeros occur at the bottom of the matri. () All entries in a column below a leading entr i.e. are zero.. () For two successive nonzero rows, the leading in the higher row is farther to the left than the leading in the lower row. Reduced row-echelon form: (,,, ) If a matri is in echelon form and satisf following additional condition, then it is in reduced echelon from. () Ever column that contains a leading has zeros everwhere else.

3 Echelon & Reduced Echelon Forms: Notes A matri ma be row reduced (i.e. transformed b elementar row operations) into more than one matri in echelon form, using different sequence of row operations. In summar, echelon form obtained from a given matri ma not necessaril be unique. However, the reduced echelon from one obtains from a matri is unique. A matri in reduced row-echelon form is of necessit in row-echelon form, but not conversel.

7 Eample (a) Solutions of Linear Sstems Suppose that the augmented matri for a sstem of linear equations have been reduced b row operations to the given reduced row-echelon form. Solve the sstem. (a) Solution (a) the corresponding sstem of equations is : - z

8 Eample (b) Solutions of Linear Sstems (b) Solution (b). The corresponding sstem of equations is : - leading variables free variables

9 Eample (b) Solutions of Linear Sstems We see that the free variable can be assigned an arbitrar value, sa t, which then determines values of the leading variables.. There are infinitel man solutions, and the general solution is given b the formulas t, t, t, t

10 Eample (c) Solutions of Linear Sstems (c) - Solution (c). The th row of zeros leads to the equation places no restrictions on the solutions (wh?). Thus, we can omit this equation.

12 Eample (d) Solutions of Linear Sstems (d) Solution (d): the last equation in the corresponding sstem of equation is Since this equation cannot be satisfied, there is no solution to the sstem.

13 Elimination Methods (/) There should be a step-b-step elimination procedure that can be used to reduce an matri to reduced rowechelon form. 8

14 Elimination Methods (/) Step. Locate the leftmost pivot column i.e. a coulmn that does not consist entirel of zeros. 8 Leftmost pivot or nonzero column Step. Interchange the top row with another row, to bring a nonzero entr (Pivot) to top of the Pivot column found in Step. 8 The st and nd rows in the preceding matri were interchanged.

15 Elimination Methods (/) Step. If the entr that is now at the top of the column found in Step is a, multipl the first row b /a in order to introduce a leading. The st row of the preceding matri was multiplied b /. Step. Add suitable multiples of the top row to the rows below so that all entries below the leading become zeros. 9 - times the st row of the preceding matri was added to the rd row.

16 Elimination Methods (/) Step. Now cover the top row in the matri and begin again with Step applied to the sub-matri that remains. Continue in this wa until the entire matri is in row-echelon form. Pivot 9 Leftmost nonzero or pivot column in the sub-matri 9 The st row in the submatri was multiplied b -/ to introduce a leading.

17 Elimination Methods (/) Step (cont.) - times the st row of the submatri was added to the nd row of the sub-matri to introduce a zero below the leading. The top row in the sub-matri was covered, and we returned again Step. The first (and onl) row in the new submetri was multiplied b to introduce a leading. Leftmost nonzero or pivot column in the new sub-matri The entire matri is now in row-echelon form. Pivot

18 Elimination Methods (/) Step. Beginning with last nonzero row and working upward, add suitable multiples of each row to the rows above to introduce zeros above the leading s. / times the rd row of the preceding matri was added to the nd row. - times the rd row was added to the st row. The last matri is in reduced row-echelon form. times the nd row was added to the st row.

21 Summar: Elimination Methods Step~Step: the above procedure produces a row-echelon form and is called Gaussian elimination. Step~Step: the above procedure produces a reduced row-echelon form and is called Gaussian-Jordan elimination. Two matrices are said to be row equivalent if one matri can be obtained from the other using elementar row operations Ever matri has a unique reduced row-echelon form but a row-echelon form of a given matri is not unique.

22 Gaussian elimination and back substitution Method To solve a sstem of linear equations, we first simplif the sstem through succession of elementar row operations, until we arrive at an augmented matri in row-echelon form. This process is called the gaussian elimination. and we ma solve the simplest equation. Then we successivel substitute the results into more and more complicated equations to get the whole solution. This process is called the backward substitution.

23 Solve the sstem Eample + - = - + = + + = Note that the variable appears in all equations. We tr to eliminate so that it appears in onl equation. Specificall, b multipling - to the nd equation and then adding to the st equation, is eliminated from the st equation. - = = + + =

24 Eample (contd.) Net the operation (-)[equation ] + [equation ] (i.e. multipl - to the nd equation and then add to the rd equation) further eliminates from the rd equation. - = = - = The sstem is as simple as we can get as far as is concerned. Net we tr to simplif the sstem regarding. The operation (-)[equation ] + [equation ] eliminates from the rd equation. - = = =

25 Eample (contd.) B echanging the st and the nd equations (denoted [equation ] [equation ]), we rearrange the equations from the most complicated down to the simplest, i.e. - + = - = - = Finall, the coefficients can be further simplified b multipling / and / to the nd and the rd equations (denoted (/)[equation ] and (/)[equation ]). - + = - = - = OR This completes the simplification process Augmented Matri in Row-Echelon form

26 Eample (contd.) Now we start solving the sstem b backward substitution. From the rd equation (the simplest equation), we have = Substituting this into the nd equation (the net simplest), we get = - + = - + => =. Further substituting into the st equation (the most complicated), we get = + - = + - => =. We conclude that the sstem has a unique solution =, =, =.

27 Eample (contd.) In the eample, we have used the elementar row operations in following order to simplif given sstem. A constant multiple of one row is added to another row Two rows are interchanged A row is multiplied b a nonzero constant In general, an sstem of linear equations can be simplified, b these three operations, to a simple sstem in which equations are arranged from the most complicated to the simplest. This process is called the Gaussian elimination method. After completing the gaussian elimination, we ma solve the simplest equation. Then we successivel substitute the results into more and more complicated equations to get the whole solution. This process is called the backward substitution.

36 Eercise A garden suppl centre bus flower seed in bulk then mies and packages the seeds for home garden use. The suppl center provides different mies of flower seeds: Wild Thing, Momm Dearest and Medicine Chest. ) Wild Thing seed mi contains % of wild flower seed, % of Echinacea seed and % of Chrsanthemum seed. ) Momm Dearest mi consists % Chrsanthemum seed and % wild flower seed. ) The Medicine Chest mi contains 9% Echinacea seed, % other seeds. In a single order, the store received grams of wild flower seed, grams of Echinacea seed and grams of Chrsanthemum seed. Use matrices and complete Gauss-Jordan Elimination to determine how much of each miture the store can prepare. Assume that the garden center has an ample suppl of other seeds used in Medicine chest on hand.

37 Solution: Eercise: (contd.) Assign variables to the amount of each mi that will be produced. Let X = Amount of Wild Thing Let Y = Amount of Momm Dearest Let Z = Amount of Medicine Chest Perform a balance on each of the components that are available. Wild flower Echinacea Chrsanthemum.X +.Y + Z = g.x + Y +.9Z = g.x +.Y + Z = g In matri form, this can be written as A b

38 Eercise: (contd.) Before the matrices are populated, it is (sometimes) helpful to re-arrange the equations to reduce the number of steps in the Gauss Elimination. To do this (if there seems like an eas solution), attempt to move zeros to the bottom left, and tr to maintain the first row with non-zeros ecept for the last entr, since row is used to reduce other rows. B moving the last column (Z) to the front, and switching the first and second row, the new set of equations becomes: Echinacea Wild flower Chrsanthemum.9Z +.X + Y = g Z +.X +.Y = g Z +.X +.Y = g

39 Eercise: (contd.) Appl the Gauss Elimination: 9 Z =, X =, and Y =
