A Hybrid Numerical Algorithm for Evaluating n-th Order Tridiagonal Determinants (2207.11157v1)
Published 22 Jul 2022 in math.NA and cs.NA
Abstract: The principal minors of a tridiagonal matrix satisfy two-term and three-term recurrences [1, 2]. Based on these facts, the current article presents a new efficient and reliable hybrid numerical algorithm for evaluating general n-th order tridiagonal determinants in linear time. The hybrid numerical algorithm avoid all symbolic computations. The algorithm is suited for implementation using computer languages such as FORTRAN, PASCAL, ALGOL, MAPLE, MACSYMA and MATHEMATICA. Some illustrative examples are given. Test results indicate the superiority of the hybrid numerical algorithm.
