Matlab help....uppper triangularization method

hijohn2

Function X = uptrbk(A,B)
%Input – A is an N x N nonsingular matrix
% B is an N x 1 matrix
% Output – X is an N x 1 matrix containing the solution to AX=B
% Initialize X and the temporary storage matrix C

[N N] = size(A);
X=zeros(N,1);
C=zeros(1,N+1);

%Form the augmented matrix: Aug=[A|B]

Aug=[A B];
for p=1 : N-1

%partial pivoting for column p
[Y,j] = max(abs(Aug(p:N,p)));

%Interchange row p and j
C=Aug(p,: );
Aug(p,: ) = Aug (j+p-1,: );
Aug(j+p-1,: )=C;
If Aug(p,p)==0
‘A was singular. No unique solution’
Break
end

% Eliminating process for column p
for k=p+1:N
m=Aug(k,p)/Aug(p,p);
Aug(k,p:N+1)=Aug(k,p:N+1)-m*Aug(p,p:N+1);
end
end

%Back substitution on [U|Y]
X=backsub(Aug(1:N,1:N),Aug(1:N,N+1));




The above program is to construct the solution to AX=B by reducing the augmented matrix [A B] to upper triangularization method and then performing back substitution.

I am trying to modify this program so that it will solve M linear systems with the same coefficient matrix A but different column matrices B . The M linear systems look like AX1 = B1 AX2 = B2 ...... AXm=Bm
(1 , 2 and m are in subscript)


Please help!!!

Form a new B whose columns correspond to the M different column vectors you want to solve. B(:,1) is the first column vector, B(:,2) is the second, etc. You can either call this program as-is by looping through uptrbk(A,B(:,i)) for i = 1:M or modify the program to accept the NxM matrix and loop through it internally in the same fashion.
