Abstract
This paper presents a new direct algorithm for solving linear systems of equations. The theoretical background arid analysis of the proposed residual elimination algorithm is given. The general form and an optimized version of the residual elimination algorithm are formulated. The complexity of the suggested algorithm is the same as that of the Gaussian elimination (n3/3 + O(n2) where n is the dimension of the problem). The numerical stability properties of the implemented algorithm and the Gaussian elimination are compared. The numerical experiments show that the residual elimination algorithm is competitive with the Gaussian elimination in precision. A parallel version of the domain decomposition method is formulated, which has some advantages over the Schur complement method in the simplicity of the algorithm and in the case of implementation on parallel computing systems.
