ABSTRACT
This research work demonstrates
the importance of tridiagonal matrices and their applications to the solution
of differential equations in general. An example of a system of coupled
oscillators is given by an ordinary differential equation; a number of useful
lemmas will be proven to establish the validity of our approach. An example to
show how tridiagonal matrices arise naturally in the dynamics of coupled
systems involving n equal masses attached to a string equidistant from each
other is considered. An efficient computer-aided designed program for computing
the inverse of any tridiagonal matrix is presented, a two-point boundary-value
problem which describes the steady state phenomenon of temperature distribution
in a rod is also considered and the governing equation of this boundary value
problem is discretized using central differences. A second order nonlinear
equation is also solved using the Newton's iterative scheme.the numerical
solutions is obtained by implementing the MathCAD inversion algorithm; and
results in both cases are analyzed.
