PIVOT SIZE IN GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION WITH COMPLETE PIVOTING.

Abstract

Let A = (a sub ij) be a real n x n matrix such that the absolute value of (a sub ij) = or < 1. It has been conjectured by Wilkinson that if the process of Gaussian elimination with complete pivoting is applied to A then all the pivots are less than or equal to n in absolute value. This conjecture is proved for n = 3 and n = 4. (Author)
