Computational Complexity of Sequential and Parallel Algorithms
This e-book offers a compact but accomplished survey of significant leads to the computational complexity of sequential algorithms. this is often through a hugely informative creation to the advance of parallel algorithms, with the emphasis on non-numerical algorithms. the fabric is so chosen that the reader in lots of circumstances is ready to keep on with an analogous challenge for which either sequential and parallel algorithms are mentioned - the simultaneous presentation of sequential and parallel algorithms for fixing permitting the reader to recognize their universal and exact positive factors.

Example text
Factor out AB, and AB (AB − I) = 0. Either AB = 0 or AB − I = 0. If AB = 0, then ABA = 0 (A) = 0. But, BA = I, and so it follows that A = 0. The product of any matrix with the zero matrix is the zero matrix, so BA = I is not possible. Thus, AB − I = 0, or AB = I. The fact that AB = I implies BA = I is handled in the same fashion. If we denote the inverse by A−1 , then A−1 A = I, A A−1 = I, and it follows that (A−1 )−1 = A. This says the inverse of A−1 is A itself. The inverse has a number of other properties that play a role in developing results in linear algebra.
6 HOMOGENEOUS SYSTEMS An n × n system of homogeneous linear equations a11 x1 + a12 x2 + · · · + a1n xn = 0 a21 x1 + a22 x2 + · · · + a2n xn = 0 .. an1 x1 + an2 x2 + · · · + ann xn = 0 is always consistent since x1 = 0, . . ,xn = 0 is a solution. This solution is called the trivial solution, and any other solution is called a nontrivial solution. For example, consider the homogeneous system x1 − x2 = 0, x1 +x2 = 0. Using the augmented matrix, we have 1 −1 1 1 0 0 −−−−−−−−−→ R2 = R2 − R1 1 −1 0 0 2 0 , so x1 = x2 = 0, and the system has only the trivial solution.
