What is the usual initial vector in these methods when no estimate is known?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. The zero vector

Explanation

The zero vector is a common starting choice when no prior approximation is available.

Review the concept: Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods

The Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods are iterative procedures that approximate the solution of a linear system \(A\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{b}\) by repeatedly updating its components.

\[x_i^{(k+1)}=\frac{1}{a_{ii}}\left(b_i-\sum_{j\neq i}a_{ij}x_j^{(k)}\right)\]
