Gauss-Seidel Method

The Gauss-Seidel method (called Seidel's method by Jeffreys and Jeffreys 1988, p. 305) is a technique for solving the n equations of the linear system of equations Ax=b one at a time in sequence, and uses previously computed results as soon as they are available, x_i^((k))=(b_i-sum_(j i)a_(ij)x_j^((k-1)))/(a_(ii)). There are two important characteristics of the Gauss-Seidel method should be noted. Firstly, the computations appear to be serial. Since each...
