Lab 5

This document provides instructions for a lab assignment on solving linear equations using MATLAB. It covers graphical methods, Gauss elimination with and without pivoting, and LU factorization to solve systems of linear algebraic equations directly using MATLAB commands like backslash, matrix inversion, and the lu function. Students are given example problems to solve using each method and challenged to solve a simultaneous equation system using graphical, Gaussian elimination, and LU factorization methods in their code and results.

LU Factorization with MATLAB
Given:
𝐴 {𝑥} = 𝑏
We can rearrange: LU factorization step.
1. [A] is factored or decomposed
𝐴 𝑥 − 𝑏 =0
into lower [L] and upper [U]
We know: triangular matrices.
𝐿 𝑈 = 𝐴 and let, 𝑏 = 𝐿 𝑑 2. Substitution step. [L] and [U]
are used to determine a solution
Thus, {x} for a right-hand side {b}.
𝐿 𝑈 𝑥 − 𝐿 𝑑 =0 MATLAB uses lu built-in
function to get LU of [A].
𝑥 = 𝑖𝑛𝑣 𝑈 𝑑
Where, >> [L,U] = lu(A)
𝑑 = 𝑈 𝑥
Q. Determine the unknowns by using LU Factorization method
