Homework (Due:Final )

 

1) If a coefficient matrix of a linear system of equations is in the following form (which is called tridiagonal systems)

 

,

 

for the solution of the system above, a recursive method is introduced:

 

Elimination:

 

ai=ai/bi-1

bi=bi-ai*ci-1   i=2,n

fi=fi-ai*fi-1

 

Back substitution:

 

fn=fn/bn

fi=fi-ci*fi+1   i=n-1,1

 

As a result of the above algorithm f will be the solution vector.

 

The following subroutine is given for the computer application:

 

subroutine tridia(N,a,b,c,f)

IMPLICIT REAL * 8 (A-H,O-Z)

DIMENSION f(N),a(N),b(N),c(N)

                Do 10 i=2,N

                a(i)=a(i)/b(i-1)

                b(i)=b(i)-a(i)*c(i-1)

10            f(i)=f(i)-a(i)*f(i-1)

                f(n)=f(n)/b(n)

                do 20 i=1,n-1

                ii=n-i

20            f(ii)=(f(ii)-c(ii)*f(ii+1))/b(ii)

                return

                end

 

Find the cubic spline functions for each interval and calculate approximate f values at x=0.2,0.6,1.2 for the following data. (Use the computer code given above in solving tridiagonal matrix equation, HM=V) Take m0=mN=0.
