where, a is a real constant. For which value of a, the Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel
methods converge?
where D is the diagonal matrix, and L and U are strictly lower and upper
triangular matrices, respectively. Decide whether: (i) Jacobi; (ii) Gauss-Seidel
methods converge to the solution of AX = b
(i). Show that Gauss-Seidel iteration scheme is convergent, and find the rate of
convergence.
(ii). Take X 0 = [0, 0, 0]T , iterate three times.

Is the method is consistent for all theta (θ ∈ R)? Determine the values of θ
for which the method is convergent and find the optimal value of θ (for which
convergence rate is the highest).
6. Let x = ξ be a simple root of the equation f (x) = 0. We try to find the root
by means of the iteration formula

Find the order of convergence and compare the convergence properties with
those of Newton-Raphson’s method.
