Description

GLS.xlsm/ regls.bas
Re-runs a fast form of the regls routine (using information obtained from gls) for the same boundary element method but
with a varied boundary condition.
1. (June 2015).
This is a VB source file for solving a general linear system of equations
= + ,

(1a)

where A and B are known matrices and is a known -vector with

+ = for = 1

where the , and are constants with and are never both zero for each i. The evaluation of vectors and is the
solution of the process.
Sub ReGls(n, a_gls, b_gls, perm, xory, alpha, beta, c_new, f_new, x, y)
Input Parameters
Integer n The dimension of the matrices and vectors
Double a_gls(n,n) The matrix A, following row operations and LU factorisation in gls.bas
Double b_gls(n,n) The matrix B, following row operations in gls.bas
Double c_new(n) The vector c
Integer perm(n) The permutation matrix (resulting from the LU factorisation)
Boolean xory(n) The record of column exchanges.
Double alpha(n) The i = 1 . These must be the same as those used in gls.
Double beta(n) The i = 1 . These must be the same as those used in gls.
Double f_new(n) The fi = 1
Output Parameters
Double x(n) The solution vector x
Double y(n) The solution vector y
