Let the i th rowbe a typical rowbelow the pivot equation that istobetransformed,
meaning that the element A ik istobeeliminated. Wecan achievethis by multiplying
the pivot rowby
A kk and subtracting itfrom the i th row. The corresponding
changes in the i th roware
λ =
A ik /

To t ransformthe entire coefficientmatrix to upper triangular form, k and i inEqs. (2.8)
must have the ranges k

(chooses the row to betransformed). The algorithm for the eliminationphase now
almost writes itself:

for i= k+1:n
if A(i,k) ˜= 0
lambda = A(i,k)/A(k,k);
A(i,k+1:n) = A(i,k+1:n) - lambda*A(k,k+1:n);
b(i)= b(i) - lambda*b(k);
end
end
end
In order to avoid unnecessary operations, the above algorithmdeparts slightly
fromEqs. (2.8) in the following ways:
If A ik happenstobezero, the transformation of row i isskipped.

The index j in Eq. (2.8a)starts with k
1rather than k . Therefore, A ik is not re-
placedbyzero, but retains its original value.As the solutionphase neveraccesses
