      5 The diagonal dominance condition is an example of a sufficient but not necessary condition. That is, the algorithm will often work for systems that are not diagonally dominant. Show that the following system is not diagonally dominant, but then use the tridiagonal algorithm in this section to compute the solution to it:You should get the solution .Solution: The matrix fails to be diagonally dominant because of the values in the second, third, and fourth rows. However, if we apply the algorithm, we get the triangular systemand then the correct values for the solution, . (It always helps to type in the correct right‐side vector when checking these things.)

What is the largest component (in absolute value) of ? (You could also check your results by using MATLAB's backslash operator to solve the system.)

      12 Extend the tridiagonal algorithm to a pentadiagonal matrix, i.e., one with five non‐zero diagonals. Write a program to carry out this solution algorithm, and apply it to the systemCheck your results by again computing the residual vector, or by using MATLAB's backslash operation.Solution: A MATLAB script for doing this is given below. On the example in the exercise it returns the (exact) solution .function [delta, f, x] = pentasol(k,l,d,u,v,b) n = length(d); x = zeros(n,1); d(2) = d(2) - l(2)*u(1)/d(1); u(2) = u(2) - l(2)*v(1)/d(1); b(2) = b(2) - l(2)*b(1)/d(1); for j=3:n l(j) = l(j) - k(3)*u(j-2)/d(j-2); d(j) = d(j) - k(j)*v(j-2)/d(j-2); b(j) = b(j) - k(j)*b(j-2)/d(j-2); d(j) = d(j) - l(j)*u(j-1)/d(j-1); if j < n u(j) = u(j) - l(j)*v(j-1)/d(j-1); end b(j) = b(j) - l(j)*b(j-1)/d(j-1); end delta = d; f = b; x = f; % x(n) = f(n)/d(n); x(n-1) = (b(n-1) - u(n-1)*x(n))/d(n-1); for j=(n-2):(-1):1 x(j) = (b(j) - u(j)*x(j+1) - v(j)*x(j+2))/d(j) end

      13 Consider the family of tridiagonal problems defined by the matrix , withand a randomly defined right‐hand‐side vector. (Use rand to generate the random vectors.) Solve the system over the range ; use the appropriate timing functions to estimate the CPU time required for each case, and plot the result as a function of . Comment on your results. (You will probably want to use a semilog plot.)Solution: I got the plot in Fig. 2.5. While this is a “noisy” plot, it is very much generally a logarithmic curve, which suggests the actual timing numbers are a straight line, which is what we would expect, given that the cost of doing the solution is linear in the size of the matrix.Figure 2.5 Estimated timing cost for Problem 13, semilog scale.

      8 Consider the problem of determining the deflection of a thin beam, supported at both ends, due to a uniform load being placed along the beam. In one simple model, the deflection as a function of position along the beam satisfies the boundary value problemHere is a constant that depends on the material properties of the beam, is the length of the beam, and depends on the material properties of the beam as well as the size of the load placed on the beam. For a six‐foot‐long beam, with and , what is the maximum deflection of the beam? Use a fine enough grid that you can be confident of the accuracy of your results. Note that this problem is slightly more general than our example (2.28)‐(2.29); you will have to adapt our method to this more general case.Solution: See Figure 2.6.
