Linear algebra package

An equivalent statement is that no row of the coefficient matrix (j8) can be formed as a linear combination of the other rows. Since the matrix s determinant is nonzero when and only when this statement is true, we need only evaluate the determinant of (/ ) to demonstrate that a new basis B is valid. In practice, this test can be accomplished using a linear algebra package, or implicitly by testing for error conditions produced while inverting the matrix, since a square matrix has an inverse if and only if its determinant is not zero. 

Call Maple s linear algebra package by using the with(linalg) command.

We can validate this result as well using a numerical linear algebra package. Using the null () function in MATLAB for the A provided produces the result Empty matrix 1-by- 0, indicating that there are no vectors that form part of the null space (excluding the trivial solution). 

Alternatively, we could use a computer linear algebra package and compute N numerically. Using the nul 1 ()... 

After specification of the required tolerances for the errors of the space discretization (tolx) and the time discretization (to/t), respectively, the code can directly be used to solve the problem as the Jacobian matrix of the residual is approximated internally by a numerical differentiation scheme. In the standard case, the numerical solution is available at the internally selected integration points and on the associated computational grid. There are some optional parameters which can be set to optimize the performance for the problem at hand, e.g. special modes for linear algebra manipulation and Jacobian approximation. Furthermore, there are three features of the package which are worth to be discussed in more detail. 

Since there are already objects in multibody systems, OOP on the system level has always been done. Recent investigations consequently use object-oriented models for the database to store the system information [11]. Using OOP on the formalism level is more difficult and a current field of research [9], [10]. OOP on the linear algebra level is quite common, there are already commercial packages available. There are several methods to do OOP on the scalar level ... 

Fit experimental data, solve linear and non linear algebraic equations, and solve ordinary differential equations using the Polymath software package. 

While analytic linearization is not recommended as appropriate in every case, it is a useful additional tool for critical situations. Its use on the difficult problems likely to be met in practice is being made easier now as a result of the availability of standard computer packages for symbolic, algebraic computation.
