Solve for x in (A^k)*x=b (sequentially, LU factorization)

18 次查看(过去 30 天)
Without computing A^k, solve for x in (A^k)*x=b.
A) Sequentially? (Pseudocode)
for n=1:k
x=A\b;
b=x;
end
Is the above process correct?
B) LU factorizaion?
How is this accompished?

However, I would suggest that LU will not help much. See instead http://www.maths.lse.ac.uk/Personal/martin/fme4a.pdf

A) Linking to the documentation is about the least helpful thing you can do and B) youre not even right, LU decomposition is great for solving matrices and is even cheaper in certain situations.

Contrary to what Walter says, LU Decomposition is a great help in this problem. See my solution notes to Lab Exercise 6 --- LU Decomposition and Matrix Powers
Additional Information
Here is the Golub-Van Loan Algorithm for solving (A^k)*x = b
[L,U,P] = lu(A);
for m = 1:k
y = L\(P*b);
x = U\y;
b = x;
end
Matlab's backslash operator "\" is clever enough to figure out that y = L\(P*b) is forward substitution, while x = U\y is back substitution, each of which requires O(n^2) work.
Total amount of work is: O(n^3) + k*O(n^2) = O(n^3 + k*n^2)
If k << n then this total is effectively O(n^3).

Oh dear. It has just struck me that this may be a homework problem and I have given the game away.

Just a note... sadly, the above link to Derek O'Connor's webpage is no longer active.
