Gauss-Seidel Method
An iterative method.
Basic Procedure :
-Algebraically solve each linear equation for xi
-Assume an initial guess solution array
-Solve for each xi and repeat
-Use absolute relative approximate error after each iteration
to check if error is within a pre-specified tolerance.

Gauss-Seidel Method
Why?
Obviously it isnt possible to obtain better than machine precision for
a solution of SLEs (using Gaussian Elimination and LU
Decomposition). Actually, the situation is worse for large systems: it
isnt possible to get close to machine precision in direct methods.

Gauss-Seidel Method
The Gauss-Seidel Method can still be used
The coefficient matrix is not
diagonally dominant
But this is the same set of
equations used in example #2,
which did converge.

Gauss-Seidel Method
Not every system of equations can be rearranged to have a
diagonally dominant coefficient matrix.
Observe the set of equati ons
x1 + x 2 + x3 = 3
2 x1 + 3 x 2 + 4 x3 = 9
x1 + 7 x 2 + x3 = 9
Which equation(s) prevents this set of equation from having a
diagonally dominant coefficient matrix?
