Jacobi Method
The Jacobi method is a method of solving a matrix equation on a matrix that has no zeros
along its main diagonal (Bronshtein and Semendyayev 1997, p. 892). Each diagonal element
is solved for, and an approximate value plugged in. The process is then iterated until it
converges. This algorithm is a stripped-down version of the Jacobi transformation method of
matrix diagonalization.
The Jacobi method is easily derived by examining each of the equations in the linear system
of equations in isolation. If, in the th equation

which is the Jacobi method.
In this method, the order in which the equations are examined is irrelevant, since the Jacobi
method treats them independently. The definition of the Jacobi method can be expressed with
matrices as

Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel Iteration
Background
Iterative schemes require time to achieve sufficient accuracy and are reserved for large
systems of equations where there are a majority of zero elements in the matrix. Often times the
algorithms are taylor-made to take advantage of the special structure such as band
matrices. Practical uses include applications in circuit analysis, boundary value problems and

partial differential equations.
Iteration is a popular technique finding roots of equations. Generalization of fixed point
iteration can be applied to systems of linear equations to produce accurate results. The
method Jacobi iteration is attributed to Carl Jacobi (1804-1851) and Gauss-Seidel iteration is
attributed to Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) and Philipp Ludwig von Seidel (1821-
1896).
Consider that the n×n square matrix A is split into three parts, the main diagonal D, below
diagonal L and above diagonal U. We have A = D - L - U.

converge is that A is strictly diagonally dominant. The following subroutine will check to see if
a matrix is strictly diagonally dominant. It should be used before any call to Jacobi iteration or
Gauss-Seidel iteration is made. There exists a counter-example for which Jacobi iteration
converges and Gauss-Seidel iteration does not converge. The "true" sufficient condition for
Jacobi iteration to converge is that the "spectral radius" of is less than 1,
where is the diagonal of . That is, the magnitude of the largest eigenvalue of M must be
less than 1. This condition seems harsh because numerical computation of eigenvalues is an
advanced topic compared to solution of a linear system.
Example 5 Test the matrix A of Examples 2 and 4 to see if A is strictly diagonally dominant.
Solution 5.
More efficient subroutines
A tolerance can be supplied to either the Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel method which will permit it
to exit the loop if convergence has been achieved.
