Problem 3. Solvers for linear systems of equations 1) Describe when it would be numerically advantageous to use Householder transformations instead of Gaussian elimination for solving a linear system of equations. 2) How does the computational efforts compare between Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, SOR and Conjugate gradient method? Arrange them in increasing/decreasing order of their computation requirements. 3) Faced with having to make a choice between what method to use, which one of the four method covered in class would you choose? Justify your choice.
