Gauss-Seidel: Convergence not achieved

Postby brisingr90 » Sun Sep 22, 2013 9:16 am

I am making substitutions using Gauss-Seidel algorithm for 9 equations and I got a message that convergence not achieved. I already recheck my equations and it seems nothing is wrong. Is there anyone can help me solve my problem?

Thank you.

Non-normality and collinearity are NOT problems!

Try different starting values.

I did. After tried different starting equations, It seems there is one equations that not compatible with another. I am so confused all I can did is 8 equations

2000 Block 1 - 4 eqns No convergence after 5000 iterations
Solve terminated - Convergence not achieved

anyone know what is wrong?

*2000 is the year. What is the meaning of "Block 1 -4 eqns"?

You're using a model object?
