Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

ForwardSubstitution(A, b)

ForwardSubstitution(A)

Parameters

A

-

Matrix; a lower-triangular nxn matrix or an augmented (A|b) nxm matrix (A|b) where m=n+1

b

-

(optional) Vector; a vector of length n

Description

• 

The ForwardSubstitution command returns a solution to the equation A.x=b, where A is a lower-triangular matrix, using the forward substitution algorithm.
