Solving Linear Systems with Lu Decomposition
- The Lu decomposition method is used to solve linear systems by rewriting the equation as L * U, making it easier to solve.
- By replacing U * X with a new variable vector Y, the equation becomes L * Y = B, which can be solved easily for Y using forward substitution.
- Once Y is known, the equation Y = U * X is solved for X using back substitution, providing the solution to the original system.
- The advantage of the Lu decomposition method lies in its ability to easily solve systems with different constant vectors once the decomposition is found, simplifying the process significantly.
