Subject: linear system
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 09:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <HP06ZF$5207FA3DD03437B0C073A10B0927F7D2@libero.it> (raw)

Hi all,

I've implemented a function which solves linear system A x = b with the user input.

Reading the docs I have noticed that in gsl_linalg.h there are two very similar
methods which differ for the type of input parameters: gsl_linalg_LU_solve and
gsl_linalg_complex_LU_solve.

What are the differences? (I know that the second one works on complex numbers.)

Could I use only gsl_linalg_complex_LU_solve? If the user insert double numbers,
I insert the img part of complex number=0. Is it true?

What are the real usages of gsl_linalg_complex_LU_solve?
Other question: how can I solve linear system A x = b with indinite solutions?

For example: we suppose to have:

x+2y+3z=3
2x+3y+8z=4
3x+2y+17z=1

Thi system have infinite solutions:

x=-1-7t
y=2+2t
z=t t in R

Can i use gsl_linalg_LU_solve or gsl_linalg_complex_LU_solve to solve this kind
of linear system?


Cheers and thanks for your support
