Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a real-world scenario in structural engineering where large systems of equations are created. Discuss how you would choose between Gauss-Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel for solving these equations.
💡 Hint: Remember the conditions that affect the convergence of both methods.
If you encounter a system that is poorly conditioned and exhibits slow convergence with both methods, what strategies could you employ to improve your solution process?
💡 Hint: Think about how changes to the system's structure might enhance convergence.
