Nonhomogeneous vector

In the process of obtaining the upper triangular matrix, the nonhomogeneous vector has been transformed to (j). The bottom equation of Ax = b... 

The coefficient matrix and nonhomogeneous vector can be made up simply by taking sums of the experimental results or the sums of squares or products of results, all of which are real numbers readily calculated from the data set. 

What we fomierly called the nonhomogeneous vector (Chapter 2) is zero in the pair of simultaneous nomial equations Eq. set (6-38). When this vector vanishes, the pair is homogeneous. Let us try to construct a simple set of linearly independent homogeneous simultaneous equations. 

Equations (2.12) and (2.15) simplify to equation (2.7) (the homogeneous equations solution) when the forcing function b vector is the zero vector. The procedure for solving nonhomogeneous linear ODEs is presented next. 

Find the solution vector (sol) by multiplying mat by YO and adding the nonhomogeneous solution according to equation (2.12) or (2.15) depending on whether or not b is a constant vector. 

The nonhomogeneous boundary condition at x = 1 contributes to the forcing function vector b. However, in this case the b vector is a constant and, hence, equation (5.18) can be used. (Note that equation (5.17) is valid even when the b vector is a constant). When the governing equation is applied at x = 0 in cylindrical or spherical coordinates, we have singularity at x = 0.[11] [12] This singularity is avoided in our semianalytical technique as we use the boundary condition at x = 0 (symmetry boundary condition) to eliminate the dependent variable. Equation (5.19) is solved in Maple below using the procedure described above. 

Implicit in the derivation of Eq. (15.12) is the assumption of a homogeneous flow field - that is, one in which the velocity gradient (and therefore also the stress tensor and the mass-flux vector) is constant throughout space. If we regard this assumption as valid only over a length scale of the order of the polymer molecules, but allow the flow field to be nonhomogeneous on the scale of the fluid flow pattern, we can proceed to examine Eq. (15.12), on the basis that the stress tensor and velocity gradients may be spatially dependent (see, however, the caveat at the end of Sect. 14.1). If we take that point of view then Eq. (15.12) can be written as ... 

The vectors aj(A) have well-defined orientation with respect to point-symmetry elements of the lattices that are the same for both lattices because of the symmetrical character of the transformation (4.77). Let us define the components of the vectors aj(A) by the parameters 8 assuring their correct orientation relative to the lattice symmetry elements and the correct relations between their lengths (if there are any). Then three vector relations (4.77) give nine linear nonhomogeneous equations to determine nine matrix elements / (AA) as functions of the parameters sj,. The requirements that these matrix elements must be integers define the possible values of the parameters Sk giving the solution of the problem. 

It is assumed that the repeated events of an individual with Xl covariate vector x occur according to a nonhomogeneous Poisson process with intensity function given by...
