A numerically stable update for simplicial algorithms

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 878)

Abstract

In simplicial algorithms, a linear system of equations is solved at each step. Similar to the pivoting steps of linear programming, this can be done by numerically stable techniques [11]. In the following short note, we point out that an even stabler method may be used by looking at the underdetermined linear system involved. The computational cost is less expensive than might be expected since, by the special structure of the labeling, some calculations can be avoided.

Keywords

  • Simplicial Algorithm
  • Short Note
  • Stabler Method
  • Stable Technique
  • Penrose Inverse

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
