19 Tridiagonal matrices have zero entries except on the main diagonal and the two adjacent diagonals. Factor these into A = LU and A = LDLT: $egin{aligned} A &= egin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \ 1 & 2 & 1 \ 0 & 1 & 2 end{bmatrix} \ and \ A &= egin{bmatrix} a & a & 0 \ a & a + b & b \ 0 & b & b + c end{bmatrix}.end{aligned}$

Tridiagonal matrices have zero entries except on the main diagonal and the two adjacent diagonals. Factor these into $A=L U$ and $A=L D V$ : $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right] \quad \text { and } \quad A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} a & a & 0 \\ a & a+b & b \\ 0 & b & b+c \end{array}\right] $$

Tridiagonal matrices have zero entries except the main diagonal and the two adjacent diagonals. Factor these into A = LU and A = LDLT : 1 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 2 and a a 0 a a + b b 0 b b + c The matrix [0 1; 2 3] has no LU decomposition (Why?). Show directly that the equation [0 1; 2 3] = [1 0; l 1] [d e; 0 f] is impossible. (b) Do the same for [1 1 0; 1 1 2; 1 2 1]. (i.e. first explain why the LU decomposition is impossible, and then show it directly).

A diagonal matrix is a square matrix in which each entry not on the main diagonal is zero. Find the determinant of each diagonal matrix. Make a conjecture based on your results.
