http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Gauss-Seidel MethodAn iterative method.
Basic Procedure:
-Algebraically solve each linear equation for xi
-Assume an initial guess solution array
-Solve for each xi and repeat
-Use absolute relative approximate error after each iteration to check if error is within a pre-specified tolerance.
http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Gauss-Seidel MethodWhy?
The Gauss-Seidel Method allows the user to control round-off error.
Elimination methods such as Gaussian Elimination and LU Decomposition are prone to prone to round-off error.
Also: If the physics of the problem are understood, a close initial guess can be made, decreasing the number of iterations needed.

Gauss-Seidel MethodAlgorithm
A set of n equations and n unknowns:
11313212111 ... bxaxaxaxa nn

nnnnnnn bxaxaxaxa ...332211
. . . . . .
If: the diagonal elements are non-zero
Rewrite each equation solving for the corresponding unknown
ex:
First equation, solve for x1
Second equation, solve for x2

Use rewritten equations to solve for each value of xi.
Important: Remember to use the most recent value of xi. Which means to apply values calculated to the calculations remaining in the current iteration.

So when has the answer been found?
The iterations are stopped when the absolute relative approximate error is less than a prespecified tolerance for all unknowns.
Example: Liquid-Liquid Extraction
A liquid-liquid extraction process conducted in the Electrochemical Materials Laboratory involved the extraction of nickel from the aqueous phase into an organic phase. A typical experimental data from the laboratory is given below:
Ni aqueous phase, a (g/l) 2 2.5 3
Ni organic phase, g (g/l) 8.57 10 12
Assuming g is the amount of Ni in organic phase and a is the amount of Ni in the aqueous phase, the quadratic interpolant that estimates g is given by

Gauss-Seidel Method: Pitfall
What went wrong?Even though done correctly, the answer is not converging to
the correct answerThis example illustrates a pitfall of the Gauss-Seidel method:
not all systems of equations will converge.
Is there a fix?One class of system of equations always converges: One with a
diagonally dominant coefficient matrix.
Diagonally dominant: [A] in [A] [X] = [C] is diagonally dominant if:
n
jj
ijaai1
ii
n
ijj
ijii aa1
for all ‘i’ and for at least one ‘i’
Gauss-Siedel Method: Pitfall
Diagonally dominant: The coefficient on the diagonal must be at least equal to the sum of the other coefficients in that row and at least one row with a diagonal coefficient greater than the sum of the other coefficients in that row.

After six iterations, the absolute relative approximate error seems to be decreasing.
Conducting more iterations allows the absolute relative approximate error to decrease to an
acceptable level.
