Answer: Show that Gaussian elimination can be performed on A without row interchanges if

Chapter 6, Problem 26

(choose chapter or problem)

Show that Gaussian elimination can be performed on A without row interchanges if and only if all leading principal submatrices of A are nonsingular. [Hint: Partition each matrix in the equation A(k) = M(k1) M(k2) M(1) A vertically between the kth and (k + 1)st columns and horizontally between the kth and (k + 1)st rows (see Exercise 14 of Section 6.3). Show that the nonsingularity of the leading principal submatrix of A is equivalent to a(k) k,k = 0.]
