If we go back and calculate the slope and intercept for the data set in Exercise 3-2 without the constraint that the line must pass through the origin, we get the solution vector 0.95, 0.09 for a line parallel to the line in Exercise 3-3 and 2.0 units distant from it, as expected. 

If a matrix is ill-conditioned, its inverse may be inaccurate or the solution vector for its set of equations may be inaccurate. Two of the many ways to recognize possible ill-conditioning are... 

Linear Programming.28—A linear programming problem as defined in matrix notation requires that a vector x 0 (non-negativity constraints) be found that satisfies the constraints Ax <, b, and maximizes the linear function cx. Here x = (xx, , xn), A = [aiy] (i = 1,- -,m j = 1,- , ), b - (61 - -,bm), and c = (cu- -,c ) is the cost vector. With the original (the primal) problem is associated the dual problem yA > c, y > 0, bij = minimum, where y yx,- , ym)-A duality theorem 29 asserts that if either the primal or the dual has a solution then the values of the objective functions of both problems at the optimum are the same. It is a relatively easy matter to obtain the solution vector of one problem from that of the other. 

This problem can be cast in linear programming form in which the coefficients are functions of time. In fact, many linear programming problems occurring in applications may be cast in this parametric form. For example, in the petroleum industry it has been found useful to parameterize the outputs as functions of time. In Leontieff models, this dependence of the coefficients on time is an essential part of the problem. Of special interest is the general case where the inputs, the outputs, and the costs all vary with time. When the variation of the coefficients with time is known, it is then desirable to obtain the solution as a function of time, avoiding repetitions for specific values. Here, we give by means of an example, a method of evaluating the extreme value of the parameterized problem based on the simplex process. We show how to set up a correspondence between intervals of parameter values and solutions. In that case the solution, which is a function of time, would apply to the values of the parameter in an interval. For each value in an interval, the solution vector and the extreme value may be evaluated as functions of the parameter. 

Note the slight errors in the end points of the intervals caused by decimal approximation. Delete the last two components of the solution vector. 

If there is an interval of values of t common to these inequalities, one fixes a value of t at 10 + e where > 0 is arbitrarily small and t0 is a value on the boundary of the interval, and proceeds in the usual way to obtain a change of basis and then determine a neighboring interval of values of t. The solution vector in each case is given by the weights obtained in expressing P0—the column vector whose coefficients are the 6,(0—as a linear combination of the basis. The process terminates in a finite number of steps since the number of vectors in the problem is finite. 

Within esqjlicit schemes the computational effort to obtain the solution at the new time step is very small the main effort lies in a multiplication of the old solution vector with the coeflicient matrix. In contrast, implicit schemes require the solution of an algebraic system of equations to obtain the new solution vector. However, the major disadvantage of explicit schemes is their instability [84]. The term stability is defined via the behavior of the numerical solution for t —> . A numerical method is regarded as stable if the approximate solution remains bounded for t —> oo, given that the exact solution is also bounded. Explicit time-step schemes tend to become unstable when the time step size exceeds a certain value (an example of a stability limit for PDE solvers is the von-Neumann criterion [85]). In contrast, implicit methods are usually stable. 

In order to exploit the sparseness of the matrix, iterative solvers can be applied. The iterative procedure is initialized with a guess for the solution vector O. In... 

The condition number is always greater than one and it represents the maximum amplification of the errors in the right hand side in the solution vector. The condition number is also equal to the square root of the ratio of the largest to the smallest singular value of A. In parameter estimation applications. A is a positive definite symmetric matrix and hence, the cond ) is also equal to the ratio of the largest to the smallest eigenvalue of A, i.e.,... 

Thus, the error in the solution vector is expected to be large for an ill-conditioned problem and small for a well-conditioned one. In parameter estimation, vector b is comprised of a linear combination of the response variables (measurements) which contain the error terms. Matrix A does not depend explicitly on the response variables, it depends only on the parameter sensitivity coefficients which depend only on the independent variables (assumed to be known precisely) and on the estimated parameter vector k which incorporates the uncertainty in the data. As a result, we expect most of the uncertainty in Equation 8.29 to be present in Ab. 

The solution vector x therefore can be viewed as the weighted sum of n components eA" with a corresponding weight matrix Q=L9I X0 (i = 1,..., n). This form is extremely useful to predict the rate of growth or decay for each individual component of the solution. 

Obviously, the trivial solution v,=0 (/ = L > n) does not fit our needs and we must search for solutions as a constrained problem in which the solution vector is of constant, yet arbitrary, length. In other words, we become interested in the vector with some criterion of best direction regardless of its magnitude, which we may conveniently take as unity. Let us lump the C/ coefficients into the m x n matrix A and the n coefficients Vj into the vector x , hence... 

Note that the values xuinf(l 3) = [-0.1 1 0.8682] coincide with the values obtained from the steady state of the solution vector z(l 3,N)= [-0.1 1 0.8682]. The values xuinf(3 4) = [0.0777 0.134] are the same of those in Figure 17. The steady state auxiliary variables are deduced as follows ... 

Only equation (25), which is the counterpart of equation (21) in the subspace of Asd,sd is solved iteratively. In this equation all the triples components have been projected into the singles-and-doubles space. Once equation (25) has been solved the C in) solution vector is stored on disk. The triples component of the solution vector, Cj(n), may then be constructed on the fly (see equation (26)), whenever it is needed. In this way, the storage of the triples components is avoided. 

The effective singles-and-doubles equation for the Cauchy vectors, equation (25), has the same structure as the effective singles-and-douhles equation for the first-order CC3 amplitudes (see equation (26) of Ref. [21]), the main difference being that now the right-hand side depends on the solution vector of lower order. Equation (25) may thus be implemented following the scheme described in Ref. [21] with an extra external loop over n (i.e., the Cauchy vectors order). 

In the second step, the solution vector Xb(w), corresponding to the first-order response of the wave function, is contracted with property gradient to form the... 

Antiavidin antibody solution (Vector Labs) 5 pg/mL in PBS with 1% Tween-20. Propidium iodide (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) counter stain 1 pg/mL in PBS. Antifade mounting medium 100 mg p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride in 10 mL PBS adjust to pH 9 (see Note 3). 

Endogenous biotin In certain tissues, most commonly kidney and liver, background staining can be high because of the presence of endogenous biotin. This can be minimized by preincubation of the sections with a dilute avidin solution, followed by incubation with a dilute biotin solution (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) before the application of the primary antibody. 

Equations (1.49) are very easy to solve. Indeed, x = -1 is already isolated in equation 4. Proceeding with this value to equation 3 gives x = 0. Then we move to equation 2 with x and x known. The procedure is called backsubstitution and gives the solution vector x = (1.0, 2.0, 0.0, -1.0). ...

As illustrated, here a single variable (the maximum temperature) is chosen as a characteristic function of the solution. For the premixed twin flame, this is a good choice. However, in other circumstances, like an opposed-flow diffusion flame, the choice of a characteristic scalar is less clear. Vlachos avoids the need for a choice by using a norm of the full-solution vector to characterize the solution in the arc length [415,416], The Nish-...

Note that we have to place zeros in the positions of A that correspond to unused variables in any equation in (1.1). Below are the corresponding MATLAB commands that let us find the solution vector... 

Our two command lines below first generate the coefficient matrix A and the right hand side vector b for (1.1), followed by the MATLAB backslash linear equations solver that computes the solution vector x. This is followed by a simple verification of the error inherent in the residual vector A-x — b for our numerical solution x. This error is nearly zero since in MATLAB the number -1.3323e-15 describes the real number —1.3323 10-15. 

Note that the output of roots(p) and eig(compan(p)) each is a complex column vector of length three, i.e., each output lies in C3 and the two solution vectors are identical. Our trial polynomial p(x) = a 3 — 2a 2 + 4 has one pair of complex conjugate roots 1.5652 1.0434 i and one real root -1.1304. The (first row) companion matrix P of a normalized nth degree polynomial p (normalized, so that the coefficient an of xn in p is 1) is the sparse n by n matrix P = C(p) as described in formula (1.2). Note that our chosen p is normalized and has zero as its coefficient ai for a = a 1, i.e., the (1, 2) entry in P is zero. For readers familiar with determinants and Laplace expansion, it should be clear that expanding det(P — xI) along row 1 establishes that our polynomial p(x) is the characteristic polynomial of P. Hence P s eigenvalues are precisely the roots of the given polynomial p.
