hi i wanna make a code that does the Pivot matrix thing from the Gauss method please
i need help with a pivot matrix gauss method code
function [A,b]=pivotea(A,b)
n = size(A, 1);
r = zeros(n, 1);
for i = 1 : 1 : n
r(i) = i;
end
x = zeros(n, 1);
for k = 1 : 1 : n
max = abs(A(r(k), r(k)));
max_pos = k;
for l = k : 1 : n
if abs(A(r(l), r(k))) > max
max = abs(A(r(l), r(k)));
max_pos = l;
end
end
temp_r = r;
r(k) = temp_r(max_pos);
r(max_pos) = temp_r(k);
for i = 1 : 1 : n
if i ~= k
zeta = A(r(i), k) / A(r(k), k);
for j = k : 1 : n
A(r(i), j) = A(r(i), j) - A(r(k), j) * zeta;
end
b(r(i)) = b(r(i)) - b(r(k)) * zeta;
end
end
end
for i = 1 : 1 : n
x(i) = b(r(i)) / A(r(i), i);
end
end
look i have this now problem is whenever i try pivot a matrix some spaces are left on 0 like here
Anueva =
0 -0.3636 0 0
-11.0000 0 0 -0.0000
0 0 0 -3.0486
0 0 61.7500 0
when it should be like

It does not appear that you have begun anything. That makes it difficult for us to help you finish.

Hi!
It seems that you are attempting to solve a system of linear equations using Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting. However, there are a couple of issues in the code. Firstly, all row swapping and elimination operations necessary to achieve the echelon form should be applied to the augmented matrix instead of the matrix "A". Secondly, to calculate the value of "x", the process should begin with the last row, a method known as back propagation or back substitution.
Please refer to the modified code below which uses an Augmented matrix "Aug" which serves as the main structure for pivoting operations (Row swapping and Gaussian Elimination).
A = [0.02 0.01 0 0; 1 2 1 0; 0 1 2 1; 0 0 100 200];
b = [0.02;1;4;800];
[reducedA, reduced_b] = pivot(A,b)
function [A,b]=pivot(A,b)
% Get the length of b
n = length(b);
% Initialize x with zeros
x = zeros(n,1);
% Create the augmented matrix
Aug = [A,b];
%Display
A
b
Aug
% Loop for partial pivoting and echelon form
for j = 1:n-1
% partial pivoting
% Find the maximum value and its position for partial pivoting
[maxi, max_pos] = max(abs(Aug(j:n,j)));
% Swap the rows for partial pivoting
C = Aug(j,:);
Aug(j,:) = Aug(max_pos+j-1,:);
Aug(max_pos+j-1,:) = C;
% echelon form
for i = j+1:n
% Calculate zeta for echelon form
zeta = Aug(i,j)/Aug(j,j);
% Perform row operations for echelon form
Aug(i,:) = Aug(i,:) - zeta*Aug(j,:);
end
end
% Back substitution
% Calculate x(n) using back substitution
x(n) = Aug(n,n+1)/Aug(n,n);
% Loop for back substitution
for k = n-1:-1:1
% Calculate x(k) using back substitution
x(k) = (Aug(k,n+1)-Aug(k,k+1:n)*x(k+1:n))/Aug(k,k);
end
% Display the result
x
% Separate A and b from the augmented matrix
A = Aug(:,1:end-1 );
b = Aug(:,end);
end
