Sixth Order Linear Equation Solver for the hp 33s
#1

As part of a continuing effort to explore the capabilities of the hp 33s I have translated a sixth order linear equation solver for use on that machine. The documentation is much too long for a Forum topic so it has been entered as Article 676.

I believe that by judicious use of the statistics registers I should be able to fit a seventh order solver on the hp 33s but I haven't been able to push it through yet. I'm still working on it.

I'm very enthusiastic to give the program a try!

A lack of super-3x3 matrix support is the primary reason that my 33s has been in probation for the last 8 months.

Thanks,
ECL

It turns out that it was not very difficult to expand the program to solve a seventh order set of linear equations. The changes required are:

1. Insert a CLSum command immediately after the CLVARS near the beginning of the program.

2. Add the following subroutine at the end of the program:

T0001 LBL T

T0002 STO i

T0003 x<>y

T0004 25

T0005 x>y?

T0006 RTN

T0007 3

T0008 STO+ i

T0009 RTN

3. Replace the STO i command with a XEQ T command at the following program locations:

B0003

B0009

C0006

D0006

D0014

E0006

F0005

F0012

F0020

G0003

G0007

G0011

The operating instructions are not changed.

For the test problem with a seventh order sub-Hilbert as the matrix A and all ones as the vector B the results are

    Exact                hp 33s                Relative Error

56 56.068858872 1.229E-03

-72072 -72121.7495754 0.690E-03
24024 24039.2548347 0.634E-03

for a mean relative error of 0.878E-03. For the same problem the HP-41 MathPac yields a mean relative error of 0.837E-02 and the ML-02 program for the TI-59 yields a mean relative error of 1.033E-04. In a subsequent submission I will provide comparisons with other machines and with other problems.

That's really impressive! Now, a fourth or even a third order Complex Linear Equation Solver would be great, but that would be asking too much, I recognize :-)

One of the things that impressed me in my first decent programmable calculator, a TI-59 back in 1982, was its matrix abilities (ML-02 and ML-03). It would invert a 9x9 matrix in about 12 minutes!

Thanks for your continued efforts in writing and porting excellent software to the HP-33S.

Best regards,

Gerson W. Barbosa.

The original sixth order program in Article 676 would run equally well in either RPN mode or ALG mode. My modification above of the program to provide a seventh order capability will run properly in ALG mode but will not run properly for all N when in RPN mode. To run properly in RPN mode the T subroutine must be modified by removing the x<>Y commsnd at T0003. The T subroutine for use in RPN mode then becomes:

T0001 LBL T

T0002 STO i

T0003 25

T0004 x>y?

T0005 RTN

T0006 3

T0007 STO+ i

T0008 RTN
