function x=BackSub(U,b) % This function computes the vector x by backward substitution. % We solve Ux=b, where U is an nxn, non-singular upper triangular matrix % and b is a known vector of the length n, we find the vector x. %% Compute x by backward substitution. s=size(U); n=s(1); x=zeros(n,1); % U(i,i)*x(i) = b(i)-sum_{j=i+1}^{n} for k=1:n i=n-k+1; % Compute row => i=n,n-1,n-2,...,3,2,1 x(i)=b(i); for j=(i+1):n x(i)=x(i)-U(i,j)*x(j); end x(i)=x(i)/U(i,i); end end
