Topics: Gauss-Jacobi and Gauss-Siedel methods for solving a system of linear equations;
Bisection method; Fixed Point Iteration method.
1. Derive the iteration equations for the Gauss-Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods to solve
the system of linear equations :
−3x1 + 9x2 + x3 = 2
2x1 − x2 − 7x3 = 3
5x1 − 3x2 + 3x3 = −1
Take initial guess (x01 , x02 , x03 ) = (1, 0, 1), and perform six iterations of
Compare both the solutions with the actual solution of the system.
3. Use Gauss-Jacobi method and Gauss-Seidel method to approximate the solution of the
following linear system of equations correct upto 3 decimal places:
1
6. Let xn (n = 1, 2, 3, . . . ) be the n-th iteration of the Bisection method to approximate a
root of the equation cos(x) − xex = 0 by taking the initial interval [0, 1] (all calculations
are truncated after 3 rd decimal place without rounding off). What is the value of x5
truncated after 3 decimal places without rounding off?
7. Find the root of the equation sin(x) = 10(x − 1) by using Fixed Point Iteration method
correct up to three decimal places.
f (x) = x4 − x − 10 = 0
9. The equation
has a root in the interval (−1, 0). Determine an iteration function ϕ(x), such that the
sequence of iterations obtained from
