Thomas algorithm can be used to solve __________(a) any matrix(b) all square matrices(c) only penta-diagonal matrices(d) only tri-diagonal matricesI got this question in an online interview.Query is from Discretization Aspects topic in division Basic Aspects of Discretization, Grid Generation with Appropriate Transformation of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Right choice is (d) only tri-DIAGONAL matrices

To explain I would SAY: The other name of the Thomas ALGORITHM is Tri-diagonal matrix algorithm. Tri-diagonal matrices are matrices with non-zero elements in the MAIN diagonal and the diagonals above and below it.
