a b s t r a c tIn this paper, an inversion algorithm for a banded matrix is presented. The n twisted decompositions of a banded matrix are given first; then the inverse of the matrix is obtained, one column at time. The method is about two times faster than the standard method based on the LU decomposition, as is shown with the analysis of computing complexity and the numerical experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
