Description

LU Decomposition is applied to a sparse banded matrix. We show how fill-ins can make solution by elimination not manageable. The same matrix is used to solve the Poiseuille flow problem in a rectangular channel using the finite differences approach. The result obtained using this numerical technique is in agreement with the one given by the analytical solution, which was derived using separation of variables.

The code seems to run ok. By that, I mean that Matlab did not report any errors. However, the lack of documentation makes it very difficult for anyone to determine what type of values to expect. The 7 plot figures are not labeled well. Variables are not explained. Bottom line is, without documentation and example results it is difficult to see the value of this file except to the submitter.
