GLS_T.FOR / GLS_T
A set of test problems for testing the subroutines GLS and REGLS.
1. (June 2015).
A set of test problems for testing the subroutines GLS and REGLS that carry out the solution of a general linear system of
equations that arise in the direct boundary element method. CGLS/REGLS solve a general linear system of equations
(1a)

= + ,
where A and B are known matrices and is a known -vector with

(1b)

+ = for = 1

where the , and are constants with and are never both zero for each i. The evaluation of vectors and is the
solution of the process.
The evaluation of vectors and is the solution of the process. regls.bas find a new and fast solution with a different c
and f , using information from GLS.
An alternative way of wtiting equation (2) is
(3)

+ = ,
where and are diagonal matrices with [ ] = ( ) and [ ] = ( ).

The initial test problems on the spreadsheet are the 22 system
